Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It's interesting how you can see the duality of RIGHTEOUSNESS AND BROTHERLY LOVE in a wide variety of Christian denominations and groups. It's not only repeated often in the Bible, and essential to some of the mainline denominations (as shown here in past messages), you can also see it in reports of past revivals where Christian unity was a factor. (Also please note, that although I don't speak in tongues myself, I have brethren in Christ who do.) Here's an excerpt from a webpage about Azusa Street: THE AZUSA STREET REVIVAL of 1906, which marks the beginning of the modern pentecostal movement, was not considered unique at the time just because believers spoke in tongues and were healed of their diseases. Even more scandalous to the turn-of-the-century establishment was the racial mixing taking place in the small Los Angeles livery stable turned into a mission. The vision of William J. Seymour, a one-eyed, self-taught African-American preacher who brought the message of the outpouring of the Spirit to Los Angeles, was of a new level of Christian unity that-similar to the first Pentecost-brought together believers of all colors in a community modeled after the new heaven and earth that was to come. While speaking in tongues was seen as one of the signs of the infilling of the Holy Ghost (Acts 10:46, 19:6), Seymour and the others knew it could be faked and considered more certain characteristics of the Spirit to be holy living and unity among believers-whatever their race. The evidence of LOVE AND PURITY could not be manifested over the long term unless one had had a true renewal of the heart.
