Revivalism emphasizes definable turning
points
in a Christian life as essential.
Emphasis on
salvation by grace
through faith.
1542 John Calvin founds the first
Protestant absolutist theocracy in
Geneva,
Switzerland.
In Protestantism there has been an evolution and a
mixing of Protestant theological
belief systems that has resulted in a continually splintering, changing,
regrouping and evolving Christian theology.
Calvinism emphasizes
God's rule over all
things.
The Reformed Tradition of John Calvin held that as a
consequence of the fall of
man, every person born is enslaved to
the flesh.
Calvin claimed individuals were inclined to reject
ethical concerns but
this is a mistaken viewpoint and trap frequently fallen into by
Roman
lawyers.
Calvinists believe attainment of heaven to be
unconditionally grounded in God's
mercy expressed as absolution.
God saves those whom God has
pre-determined to save.
Once truly saved always
saved.
1552
Calvinist thought reached its
zenith of its influence in the Anglican Church during the reign of Edward VI
first as Forty-Two Articles of Religion found in the Book of Common
Prayer.
1563 Reduced to Thirty-Nine
Articles of Religion.
1571 Adherence to
the Thirty-Nine Articles made a legal requirement by the English
Parliament, requires church attendance on the Sabbath.
Anglicanism, in its
structures, theology and forms of
worship, is understood as
a distinct
tradition representing a middle ground between
Roman Catholicism and
Protestantism.
Late
1500s
Puritanism, a religious reformation movement, begins in
England.
Its initial goal was removing any remaining links to
Catholicism within the Church of England after its separation from the Catholic
Church.
1603 The accession
of James I to the English throne brought the Millenary Petition, a
Puritan manifesto for reform of the
English church.
1604 James I calls the
Hampton Court Conference.
At the Hampton Court Conference
James commissions the translation of the Christian Bible into the English
vernacular, the King James Version (KVJ).
1610 Dutch Arminianism is articulated in
the Remonstrance.
Arminianism is a school of soteriological
thought in Protestant Christian theology founded by the Dutch theologian
Jacobus Arminius. Its acceptance stretches through much of mainstream
Protestantism.
Arminianists believe that individuals are
naturally unable to make
any effort towards salvation,
salvation is possible by grace alone,
works of human effort
cannot contribute to salvation,
God's Elect have
unconditional faith that:
Ḉhri§t
Ḉon§ciousne§§ atonement is for all humanity;
God allows his grace
to be resisted by those unwilling to believe;
salvation can be
lost as continued
salvation is conditional upon continued faith in Ḉhri§t
Ḉon§ciousne§§ as the personification of God.
emphasis on individual ability to
experience
God and understand the Will of God for oneself
1650 George Fox,
imprisoned for blasphemy, begins the
Quietism revival.
A judge mocks George
Fox's exhortation to "tremble at the Word of the
Lord", calling George Fox and his
followers "Quakers".
1653 George Fox is
imprisoned and it is requested that he be put to death.
Parliament
requests his release rather than "a young man die
for religion".
George Fox is taken to London for a meeting with the
Lord Protector.
Fox affirms he has
no intention to take up arms
and is able to speak about the differences between the
Anglicans and the
Friends.
Fox suggests
Oliver
Cromwell listen to
God's voice and obey it.
This is
"speaking truth to power".
"It
will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural
liberty upon a
supposition that he may abuse it." - Oliver Cromwell
By "speaking
truth to power" - simple ideas
related with plain speech - George Fox pursued social justice.
1654 George Fox is imprisoned in
London.
1656 George Fox is imprisoned in
Launceston.
1660 and 1663 George Fox is
imprisoned in Lancaster.
1666 George Fox is
imprisoned in Scarborough.
1674 George Fox is
imprisoned in Worcester.
Quakers repeatedly fell foul of
laws forbidding unauthorized worship.
George Fox often emphasised
the Quaker rejection of baptism by
water; a useful way of highlighting the focus of Friends
on inward
transformation.
This differed from what he saw as
the superstition of outward
ritual.
George Fox's theology in his words:
Let no man speak in an unknown
tongue.
Let no one be put to
death for chattel, for money or any outward thing.
Let all these
things be taken away, he that will not speak a few words to his neighbor
without money, freely without end, or
reward, or
bribery, and so bring it
to a free Nation, and so a free people by the
Power of God.
Let no one that is high, proud, or
lofty, envious or scornful bear Office, for
he will turn the sword backward and
do Satan's work.
Let no law be, but that man may ask a question.
If it be a free Nation, let it be free.
Let none be persecuted
and imprisonment as vagabonds who are moved by God to speak abroad the
Word of God freely and
faithfully.
Let none lie long in
prison, for that is the way to spoil people, and to make more thieves, for
there they learn wickedness together.
Let all this money, and stipends, and tithes, and
hour-glasses for preaching by the hour be taken away from men, who make a trade
of the Scripture.
Let all worship God
in selflessness not in
selfishness.
Let all the Burying the dead for money, and Marrying for money,
and Christening for money, and Churching of women for money, let all these
things be swept away, and let the Nation be a free Nation.
Let no man
bear the sword in violence, or
accuse any man falsely.
Let no Judge, nor Justice, nor Sheriff that is ambitious, highminded,
bear rule, for such do not stand in awe of God which is
the beginning of the wisdom with
which they should order the
Creation to the Glory of God.
They are out of the meek state and
humility, and doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly before God, and
they are aroma in the
nostrils of God.
Let all preaching for money and
singing for money be laid aside.
Let not preaching
be a trade, nor the Word of God
made merchandise of.
emphasis on the spiritual life of the
individual,
coupled with a responsibility to live an upright life
1703 Pietism becomes
popular in Denmark.
Pietistic Lutherans meet together in conventicles,
"apart from Divine Service in order to mutually encourage piety."
Pietistic Lutherans believe "any true Christian could point
back in his or her life to an inner
struggle with sin that culminated in a crisis and
ultimately a
decision to start a new,
Ḉhri§t
Ḉon§ciousne§§-centered life."
"The hoary adage "cleanliness is next to
godliness" was resurrected
by evangelist John Wesley and preached from a
thousand pulpits."
Thomas A.
Metzger
1738
John Wesley, an
Anglican minister, begins preaching the precepts of Methodism which leads to
the Methodist revival.
John Wesley intensely studied the Church Fathers
and Eastern Orthodox Church.
He attended Moravian meetings, heard a
sermon of Dr. John Heylyn and seriously studied Christian religious
sects.
John Wesley expressed strong
disagreement with the doctrines of election and reprobation teaching that
individual efforts towards holiness of heart and life could bring
a truly holy and loving Christian to
salvation.
The evangelistic teaching of John Wesley incorporated and
melded Arminianist , Calvinist and Anglican doctrine as seen in the
Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion.
John Wesley abridged the list
from 39 to 24 (editing out much Calvinist emphasis) for use by American
Methodists in the 18th century.
1808 General
Conference of Methodist Episcopal Church passed the first
Restrictive Rule, which states that the General Conference may
not in any way change the Articles of Religion making the list

Wesley saw
doctrine must be
rational as faith and reason
are synonymous.
John Wesley defined the witness of the
Spirit of God
as:
"an inward impression on the
soul, whereby the Spirit of God
directly testifies to an individual's
spirit that they are indeed
children of
God."
Holiness preachers declared that
following conversion,
believers should
seek for a "second blessing" to
purge the desires of
the flesh from their hearts.
Holiness preaching centered on John
Wesley's sanctification of
a second crisis
experience subsequent to
justification,
termed entire
sanctification.
From this it followed that
it was the duty of those
who had experienced entire sanctification to confess it and bring others into
this experience.
John Wesley understood a person must hear the
Word of God himself - intercession is
ineffective as redemption occurs only
in a contrite heart.
John
Wesley's strength lay in his ability to combine seemingly opposing theological
stances backed up by a
reasonable interpretation of scripture.
He was very good at
dialectism.
John Wesley's evangelical theology, grounded firmly in
sacrament, was his promotion of what he termed
Christian Perfection, or
Holiness of Heart.
John Wesley insisted that in this life, the
Christian could come to a state where the
Agápe, or
perfect compassion, reigned
supreme in one's heart.
To be made
perfect in compassion meant a Christian could live with the primary guide
"to love your neighbor as you love yourself.".
This parallels the
philosophy of Siddhartha
Gautama.
Pentecostal denominations are descended from Methodism and
the Methodist Holiness Movement.
Pentecostal soteriology is generally
Arminian rather than Calvinist.
Note: I can warn you through personal
experience that no one will believe you have actually seen anything if they
have an iPhone and
are 'woke'.
I can personally verify there is
an actual physical
experince of ephiphany.

"Surely it is obvious, to
those who wish to see and have
had their eyes enlightened by
Ḉhri§t
Ḉon§ciousne§§, that
the professing church, Christendom,
has become nothing more than a very successful business,
reaping huge profits into the
coffers of those who, wandering
off the garden path, have been enticed by a desire for fame, fortune and
universal acceptance.
They have turned the Father's house into nothing
more than a
house of
merchandise and are utilizing the secular world's resources and the secular
world's methods to achieve what they believe to be spiritual success.
The corporation churches, in the same manner as the corporations of the
secular world, have definite
characteristics that are clearly observable.
They are human
initiated and governed, management-based, profit-oriented, success-driven,
client-friendly, product-focused (programs and services), and
image conscious. " -

This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal
experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from
reaλity and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
Ѵersion of Яeality on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance
☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices,
religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us
ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philºsºphy nªmed the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière
Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery
re☦igion based on
reaso🐍 which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no
supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Æon through
the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of cu☮ing
the spi☮itual co☮☮uption that has enveloped the human spirit.
The tenets of the Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled
out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against
individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a
"hate ¢rime."
This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes
vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence
that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartel desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards and guns.
American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by pre☮☮ing emotional
bu☮☮ons which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior c☢rp☢rate media
psych☢l☢gical ☢perati☢ns. The results have been the
destruction of the fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures
that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the
dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has
been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt
internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which
