TURKEY GOBBLERS AND GOBBLEDYGOOP,
THE BEGINNING OF THE MODERN TONGUES SPEAKING MOVEMENT.
The following is excerpted from THE PENTECOSTAL-CHARISMATIC MOVEMENTS: THE HISTORY AND THE ERROR. This practical course consists of a book plus a full set of PowerPoints, www.wayoflife.org.
Parham adopted
the heresy of annihilation from his Quaker grandfather-in-law, David
Baker, denying the eternal punishment of the wicked and believing,
rather, that the unsaved would be annihilated in hell.
By any reckoning, Charles Parham (1873-1929) is a key figure in the birth of Pentecostalism. He was ordained as a Methodist, but “left the organization after a falling out with his ecclesiastical superiors” (Larry Martin, The Topeka Outpouring of 1901, p. 14).
In a restless search for religious instruction he visited the ministries of a number of strange holiness, faith-healing, and Latter Rain teachers, picking up various heresies along the way, which he eventually merged together into his Pentecostal theology.
