EDITORIAL DONALD: THE BOY WHO PRAYED Dr. Charles C. Mullings Editor: This is a true story that occurred, at the revival in the Hebrides Islands, off the coast of Scotland. The campaign known as the Scottish Revival saw Duncan Campbell greatly used by God. The Editor of the Compass Magazine offers this story as a testimony to the efficacy of prayer.

the spiritual bondage persisted, so much so that half way through his address Duncan stopped preaching. Just then he noticed this boy, visibly moved, under deep burden for souls. He thought: “That boy is in touch with God and living nearer to the Saviour than I am.” So leaning over the pulpit he said: “Donald, will you lead us in prayer?” The lad rose to his feet and in his prayer made reference to the fourth chapter of Revelation, which he had been reading that morning: “Oh God, I seem to be gazing through the open door. I see the Lamb in the midst of the Throne, with the keys of death and of hell at His girdle.” He began to sob; then lifting his eyes toward heaven, cried: “O God, there is power there, let it loose!” With the force of a hurricane, the Spirit of God swept into the building, and the floodgates of heaven opened. The church resembled a battlefield. On one side, many lay prostrated over the seats weeping and sighing; on the other side, the affect of the Holy Ghost caused some to throw their arms in the air in a rigid posture. God had come!

mong those converted the following night was a fifteen-year-old boy who became an outstanding helper in the revival. This lad became a “frontline” prayer-warrior. Duncan called at his home one day and found him on his knees in the barn with the Bible open before him. When interrupted he quietly said: “Excuse me a little, Mr. Campbell, I’m having an audience with the King.” Some of the most vivid outpourings of the Spirit during the revival came when he prayed. In the police station, in Barvas, he stood up one night, simply clasped his hands together, and uttered one word “Father.” Everyone melted to tears as the Presence of God invaded the house. In Callenish, he prayed until the power of God laid hold on those who were dead in sins transforming them into living stones in the Church of Jesus Christ. However, the most notable example of God’s anointing upon him was in Bernera, a small island off the coast of Lewis. Duncan was assisting at a Communion service; the atmosphere was heavy and preaching difficult, so he sent to Barvas for some of the men to come and assist in prayer. They prayed, but

a child, I remember singing a catchy song, “read your Bible, pray every day, and you will grow, grow, grow.” I recall enjoying getting on my tiptoes symbolizing how much I would grow. I also recollect my enthusiasm about the tune and the feeling of pride that comes with knowing the lyrics. I did not realize, however, the worth of those lyrics intertwined with the melody. As time progressed, I kept hearing about the efficacy of praying; sometimes, though, I was indifferent to what I heard. Hearing it over and over became mundane, “said to death.” Unfortunately, I had not yet fully grasped the sweetness and fulfillment to be gained from this simple mantra. “…pray every day, and you will grow, grow, grow.” I prayed because it was expected; I felt obligated, and that is what I observed others doing. Over time, however, prayer became more meaningful and personal. I am not sure when it occurred, nor can I fully pinpoint what caused it. I believe it was a combination of maturity, encounters with Jesus, and constant repetition of this truism. Isn’t it ironic? I can undeniably state that life has never been the same. Praying to Jesus - the Only True God - with purpose takes believers on a beautiful adventure in which they get to know more about God and themselves in the process. This endeavor takes good character traits, some of which I will mention. Courage is an attribute that requires one to be real, to approach God without pretense or a mask. If there is ‘Trust’ in God the individual will feel a challenge to pray and believe that the God to whom he speaks will hear, understand and answer. Focus will result in one not allowing anything, anyone, or any situation to distract from pursuing Jesus. Praying with purpose is not without rewards: it gives assurance that Jesus is dependable; that He cares and that He sends results. Praying with purpose offers joy when discouragement comes knocking at your door. It allows the peace that surpasses all understanding to flood your soul in the various storms of life. “Read your Bible, pray every day and you will grow, grow, grow, is not just a catchy song; it is a life-changer. I am not on my tiptoe yet, but the adventure has begun. Come join me!! 6

The Record of Theological Seminaries in America

Part 3

J.R. Ensey …Harold J. Ockenga (1905-1985) was one of the early leaders of the Evangelical movement in America. He objected to the strategy of the Fundamentalists. He felt that Fundamentalism promoted a purist church and a separatist theology. He concluded that the history of Fundamentalism was one of splitting and separating— e.g., the formation of Westminster Theological Seminary in 1929 as a reaction to Princeton; the formation of Faith Theological Seminary as a reaction to Westminster; the division of Faith Theological Seminary to found the Covenant Theological Seminary; and finally the breaking away from Faith Theological Seminary to form Biblical Theological Seminary. Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, IN was begun in the late thirties as a reaction to the liberalism at Ashland Theological Seminary. Even so, it is widely accepted that the seminary that has faithfully held to its founding principles and the doctrines about which it came into being, is rare indeed.

in mid-twentieth century moved much of historic, conservative Protestantism to the left of center and made room for the New Socialism of twenty-first century. The spread of the New Evangelicalism in the seminaries came under fire from Dr. Charles Woodbridge: “The New Evangelicalism advocates toleration of error. It is following the downward path of accommodation to error, contamination by error, and ultimate capitulation to error.” Those opposing the New Evangelicalism pointed out that the adherents sought “middle ground” with respect to the theological controversies of the decades of 1960s-1980s. Some called the movement that was widely expressed in the halls of seminaria as “the New Neutralism.” William Ashbrook wrote: “Such neutrality represents a position difficult to maintain in any age, but in a day like ours when the battle is so clearly pitched between Christ and anti-Christ, it is an impossible position. In the realm of things moral and spiritual one must be either right or wrong. In the great fight of faith there is no middle ground on which the neutralist can complacently stand for long, and pronounce his anathemas or his benedictions, as the case may be, upon both sides. He is bound to wind up ere long in one camp or the other, and in a day when God is judging compromise in no uncertain terms, he is most likely to wind up in the wrong camp.” Neutralism was evidenced among the New Evangelicals by their open tolerance of German Liberalism and neoorthodoxy. Woodbridge quotes the president of Fuller Theological Seminary, David Hubbard, who in his inaugural address in 1963 stated: “The seminary should systematically inculcate in its students a theology of mutual tolerance and forgiveness towards those who, by reason of their particular doctrinal convictions, stand heretically over against the confessional lines set down by the first Christian community.” They have evidently followed Hubbard’s advice well. Fuller, established in 1947 as a conservative response to the reorganization and liberalization of Princeton Theological Seminary, is considered by many—perhaps most—Evangelicals to be far left of center in the areas of theology, psychology,

Princeton is a classic example of seminary liberalization. It was the first seminary founded by the Presbyterians in 1812 and has been the largest seminary of that denomination since that time. Princeton was led at times by conservatives and at other times by flaming liberals, and at least one of the liberals was accused of being a communist sympathizer. The first half of the twentieth century saw it go from hosting conservative leaning Keswick Conferences under Francis L. Patton to John MacKay (1889-1983), who assumed the presidency in 1936 to complete its journey into modernism and beyond. MacKay was tainted with collectivism and Marxist ideology (sometimes called “a Presbyterian Red”) and became a leading light in the National and World Council of Churches in the 1940s and 1950s. Those organizations embraced communist sympathies and were said to be infiltrated by hard line Marxists. MacKay had to defend himself before congressional committees as a result of his support for communist causes such as class struggle, Marxism, force and violence, and revolution.

AVE MARIA beautiful BUT…

by Annette Taylor-Spence

There is no disputing the fact that Ave Maria is a beautiful musical composition. When the Latin words are sung to the music, it transports us to heights of “worship” and wraps us with feelings of “love” even when those of us who speak English do not know what the words mean. So let us look at the original Latin text and the English translation: Latin Text: Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen. English Translation: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen. http://classicalmusic.about.com/od/classicalmusictips/qt/ave_maria_latin_prayer.htm For those of us who believe the Word of God in 1Timothy 2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; the knowledge that this “beautiful” song is non-scriptural should stop us in our tracks. Yes, I know it includes the words of the angel Gabriel in Luke 1:28 when the announcement was made of the impending birth of Jesus; and it combines them with the words of Elizabeth in Luke 1:42 when she visited Mary, but in the context of being a prayer to Mary, it is non-scriptural nonetheless. Gabriel followed instructions according to his divine mission and Elizabeth responded as led by God. We, however, were never given a mandate to revere Mary the mother of Jesus in like fashion. Our mandate was given in 1Timothy 2:5 as stated above which is in direct contradiction to the Ave Maria prayer. Hosea 4:6 states, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: To those of us who believe in the Oneness of God, who believe that the fullness of the Godhead rests in Jesus, I share this information so that we can make informed choices. When you consider using Ave Maria at your events, think about the message, and if this is not aligned with your doctrinal belief then do not send conflicting messages by choosing it, despite how melodious it sounds. If you would not say the Rosary then maybe you should not be singing Ave Maria. 12

Answer for MOUNTAINS OF THE BIBLE located in the Creative Niche

he term apologetics is derived from the classic Greek word ‘apologia’ which means “speaking in defense.” It is the discipline of defending a position, often religious, through systematic use of information.

biblical manuscript transmission, philosophy, mathematics, logic, biology and evolution, it can also consist of simply giving an answer to a biblical passage. The latter case is, by far the most common and one is not required to get into intellectual enquiries to do this apologetics.

Apologetics is a verbal defense used in the New Testament. Probably the most famous verse that is commonly associated with Christian Apologetics is 1 Peter 3:15 “...but in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (NIV) Apologetics, therefore, is the task of convincing people to change their views and see it the “Bible way.”

Apologetics is similar to preaching because, in both situations, the goal is ultimately the defense and presentation of the validity and necessity of the gospel. It is always an attempt to persuade the listener to change his beliefs and lifestyle to conform to the biblical truth thus enabling him to come to a saving relationship in Christ.

For convenience, we can divide apologetics into offensive Christian apologetics is the branch of Christianity that deals and defensive. Paul, writing to the Corinthians in 2 Cor. with answering any and all critics who oppose or question 10:5, shows instructions for offensive apologetics. “We the revelation of God in Christ, and the Bible. Although demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up apologetics can be deeply intellectual, including studies in against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every 14

thought to make it obedient to Christ. On the other hand in Phiippians l 1:7 we see the defensive side: “It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.”(NIV)

12:32). It is not evidence that convicts a person of his sins, but the Holy Ghost (John 16:8). That is why we need to rely on God and trust that He will use our defense of the truth for His glory and their benefit. To ignore prayer in apologetics is to be prideful. It is the same as saying we don’t need God. We need to pray for those who are lost, those who cannot see the truth of the Oneness of God, pray for their minds to be opened, pray that God’s words will penetrate them and dislodge unbelief from them, pray that our witness will be strong, and pray that the evil one will not have a foothold within us. We are fighting a spiritual battle and need spiritual tools. Prayer is the most important of them all.

As an apologist, one can and should defend his reasons for believing, but he can also go into the attack mode and seek out those who oppose the apostolic doctrine and have a debate with the opposition. One of the greatest areas of apologetics is occurring in Christianity itself. It is Oneness Apostolic (Pentecostal) doctrine versus Trinitarian theology. We have listened to numerous intellectual discourses between Oneness adherents and Trinity proponents using evidential or classic apologetics. The Evidence Doctrine toted by Oneness believers – speaking in tongues as the initial sign that a person has received the gift of the Holy Ghost – is fiercely debunked by people of Trinitarian persuasion. In these debates the use of evidence, reason, philosophy, and logic are employed. The question is, should the apologist use only those criteria acceptable to the scholar?

It is the Lord who opens the heart and mind, not you (Acts 16:14). Ask God for guidance (John 14:14). Ask for blessing in your understanding (James 1:5) and your speech (Col 4:6). Ask the Lord to also open your understanding to His word (Luke 24:45). This is what He does.

Prayer brings humility to the one who is praying. It admits dependence on God. If we are humble and dependent on God, we are more likely to hear His voice. Prayer means that you are seeking divine intervention. It works power The Oneness apologist is critically aware that the use of to your words, changes your heart, and moves you closer reason, logic, or systematic argument without sincere and to God. gut-wrenching prayer cannot convict the opposition.

ishop Garfield Thomas Haywood (July 15, 1980 – April 12, 1931) was an African-American, a multitalented person, and a man of vision. He was a pastor, evangelist, teacher, an architect, a painter, a poet, and a prolific writer of tracts, journals, books, and songs. He served as the first Presiding Bishop of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World from 1925 - 1931 Bishop Haywood traveled extensively, both in the United States and foreign countries, preaching and teaching the Word of God. He owned his own printing shop and printed all of Christ Temple’s literature and many tracts. When he could not travel, his tracts traveled instead. Many of his writings were translated into various foreign languages. They went to Russia, China, Japan, India, Africa, Wes Indies, and Israel. Among his many accomplishments, he purchased a building to be used as a saints’ home for those who were homeless. This home served as a home for elderly saints and visiting ministers and saints during their stay in Indianapolis. EARLY LIFE Garfield T. Haywood was born in Greencastle, Indiana, in 1880 and moved to Haughville, a neighborhood in Indianapolis, at the age of three. As a child, he attended School 52 and then Shortridge High School. Haywood was employed by the Indianapolis Freeman and Indianapolis Recorder newspapers as a cartoonist.[1] Bishop Haywood was the husband of one wife, Ida, who was a very powerful woman in the Oneness Movement. To that union was born one daughter. MINISTRY Bishop G. T. Haywood was one of the greatest pioneers of Oneness theology. He was a contemporary of William Seymour, the greatest name in the Azusa Street Revival. In 1908, he received the gift of the Holy Ghost accompanied with speaking in tongues. Less than one year later he was offered the assistant pastorate at a storefront church in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1909 the Pastor of the church left town and gave the church over to Elder Haywood. Between 1909 – 1915 the church grew to 465 congregants. Bishop Haywood’s influence crossed ethnic boundaries; [2]

by 1913, Christ Temple had a bi-racial membership that grew to 1500.[3] Around 1915, Bishop Haywood received a copy of Frank Ewart’s paper Meat in Due Season, which argued for, Jesus’ Name doctrine. [2] In response, Haywood invited evangelist Glenn A. Cook to preach at Christ Temple. Cook was the first, in this era, along with Frank W. Ewart to be baptized in Jesus Name. Bishop Haywood did not believe the message and new baptismal formula preached by Brother Cook. He went home and sought the Lord, resulting in Bishop Haywood and his congregation converting to Oneness Pentecostalism, by baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave utterance. This was the beginning of the dynamic ministry of Bishop Garfield Thomas Haywood, facilitating the spread of Oneness Pentecostalism throughout Indiana.[2]

of the Oneness movement. Many of his hymns, published in The Bridegroom Songs, a hymnal printed at Christ Temple, his Indianapolis church, are distinctly Apostolic. The chorus of “Do All in Jesus’ Name” copyrighted in 1923 says: Preach in Jesus name, teach in Jesus name, Heal the sick in His name and always proclaim It was Jesus’ Name in which the power came; Baptize in His Name, enduring the shame, For there is vict’ry in Jesus’ name

Similarly, the refrain of Bishop Haywood’s “The Lord of Lords says: He’s Lord of lords and King of kings, The Beginning and the end, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, The dying sinner’s Friend. If you will hear His voice, Be buried in His name, The third general counsel of the Assemblies of God Then the Comforter will come to abide. convened in October 1915 on the agenda was a debate on the merits of the new Jesus’-name doctrine vs Bishop Haywood was also an author and Oneness the traditional Trinitarian doctrine.

The result was a draw, and the agreement a publication that became the official organ of the was to readdress the topic at the fourth general Pentecostal Assemblies of the World in 1925.[6] council in October 1916. The fourth general council, enacted a statement of faith which soundly rejected Bishop Haywood was a prolific painter; two of his Jesus’-name doctrine, causing just over one fourth of paintings are still hanging in his church, Christ the ministers, including Bishop Haywood, to leave Temple in Indianapolis. Additionally he was a poet. the Assembles of God.

He did not want to disappoint, so he went; he died shortly after his return to the States. After his death in 1931, Bishop Haywood’s burial was in Crown Hill Cemetery, and in 1980, the city of Indianapolis renamed the segment of Fall Creek Drive where Christ Temple stands, Bishop Garfield T. Haywood Memorial Way.[7][1] Bishop Haywood was a tireless defender of Oneness doctrine; and when he died, he left behind not only scores of hymns but a large body of apologetic tracts, sermons, and books. Bishop Haywood was a multi-talented person and a man of vision. He was a pastor, evangelist, teacher, an architect, and a prolific writer of tracts, journals, books and songs.

The Crystal Door

And I awe-struck by that Crystal Door Lingered… never would have moved at all Transformed by God’s Almighty Power I heard My Master’s Blessed Call Faded my glorious, surreal Scene And I no more in doubt would dwell Nothing now glowed where all had been I was assured –All shall be well – “

Dr. Ivy Armstrong

I dared to pause from the heat of Time From the flood-gates watered by greed I dared to break free from the broad way From the road mislabeled “Need.” Resting upon God’s Great Grace I gazed with awe and tear-filled eye Hidden in a lonesome, secret place, Under the canopy of the sky

I felt the Power of His Presence There I Heard the pure Timbre of His Truth Touched the beauty of earnest prayer, Drank from the wine-cup of Youth! Then I returned to the toilsome road The road that’s ever broad and free Travelers were bending beneath their load But my heavy load was gone from me….

I sought for the blessing of God’s Face And the Peace His Blessings bring -With great tenderness and wondrous Grace My Savior drew me beneath His Wing And in that nestling love-locked stance My Lord fed me from Heaven’s Store In the gentle dawn as though in trance I beheld The Wondrous Crystal Door!

I dared to enter The Open Door, I dared to leave the pressing throng I dared to claim God’s Promises sure And The Lord gave me a Brand New Song!

Amazing! A more beautiful sight Than I’d ever in life seen before A Door of emeralds and rubies red Of Topaz’s warm amber light, Sapphires of deepest ocean blue And diamond’s translucent, bright! Glowing in rich, resplendent hue An incredibly, overwhelming sight.

I spent a moment with the Master At the end of my day Giving Him thanks for having been with me In all that I had to do and say.

A Moment with the Master Michelle Davis

Each moment spent with the Master, Was a blessing to my soul It brought peace and satisfaction That left me feeling whole.

I spent a moment with the Master When I woke with the dawn Giving thanks for life and rest And another precious morn.

That joy and peace can also be yours if you, too, will choose to spend A moment with the Master And on His strength, depend.

I spent a moment with the Master As my journey I began Seeking divine protection and Committing myself to His care.

So, although your day may be filled With many things to do Just spend a moment with the Master And let Him see you through

I spent a moment with the Master As my tasks I prepared to do Asking for wisdom and understanding And divine guidance, too.
