What Godlly Men Have Said About The Pentecostal False Fire

G. Campbell Morgan described the Azusa Street activities as
"the last vomit of Satan."

R.A. Torrey declared that this new Pentecostal movement was
"emphatically not of God, and founded by a Sodomite."

H. A. Ironside said in 1912 AD both the holiness and Pentecostal movements were
"disgusting. . .delusions and insanities." ... "pandemonium's where exhibitions worthy of a madhouse or a collection of howling dervishes," were causing a "heavy toll of lunacy and infidelity."

W.B. Godbey said of the Azusa Street participants and he claimed the movement was the result of spiritualism.
"Satan's preachers, jugglers, necromancers, enchanters, magicians, and all sorts or mendicants,"

Clarence Larkin
"But the conduct of those possessed, in which they fall to the ground and writhe in contortions, causing disarrangement's of the clothing and disgraceful scenes, is more a characteristic of demon possession, than a work of the Holy Spirit. From what has been said we see that we are living in "Perilous Times," and that all about us are "Seducing Spirits," and that they will become more active as the Dispensation draws to its close, and that we must exert the greatest care lest we be led astray."
