It seems his was a ministry that proves Christ's words that one can perform genuine miracles and be used of God and still not enter the Kingdom. "I never knew you."

Yep, one and same, when they found him in his hotel, he tested at .36 surgical anesthesa territory probably,he was a drunk from his early days, sometimes so drunk he couldnt preach,his father was an alcoholic also.
In "God's Generals", the story is a bit more, umm, sympathetic.
At the height of his ministry success, his enemies slandered Allen publicly with accusations of being a drunkard. . . .
The Coroner’s Report recorded the cause of death being “fatty infiltration of the liver” as a result of the few times he used alcohol in his last days to alleviate the excruciating pain of his arthritis.

Bro. A.A. Allen grew up with my grandfather in Arkansas. Whereas Grampa never "bought into" the Pentecostal "nonsense" (his father was a Baptist minister), Allen wasn't raised in a church and took to Pentecostalism with a vigor. Whereas my grandfather died at the age 90, Allen died at the age of 59 from liver failure brought on by acute alcoholism.
Grampa eased himself off of religion when he reached adulthood and died pretty much an atheist. By the time I came along he was very much against religion and matters of faith were not to be discussed in his presence - not by his command, however. Others made the insistence. I never truly even began to understand the complexities until I was much older. And even then, I still don't really understand. There was definitely a great deal of resentment directed toward people like A.A. Allen, however.
A lot of folks say the alcoholism that is so prevalent in NE Arkansas is due to "interbreeding" with "Injuns." My grandfather, however, had more Cherokee blood than Allen and he seldom took a sip at all.
A.A. Allen was one of the influences that helped me to see that there was more for me as a Christian than what I was being taught in a Baptist Church. It was through listening to ministers like Jack Coe, A.A. Allen, and C.M. Ward and also reading some of their material that I realized the gifts of the Spirit had not ceased in the first century.
From what I understand, A.A. Allen was a man greatly gifted and anointed by God but he had a problem with alcohol. I have heard that his death was caused by his alcoholism. I can't judge him.
