Steve,

Well I can see that it would have hurt his credibility. Any idea how it was he turned from the false doctrine? Did he make a public apology?

I'm sure that he will be able to answer this question...since he went into false doctrine for several years too.

Ewart himself thought of Luther as a reformer. All I can think of he reformed (in my small amount of knowledge) is that men could be saved by faith apart from the Catholic Church. If he taught any other truth Im not aware of it.

Ewart on the other hand was instrumental in bringing back the teaching of the Apostles concerning full salvation and one God. He and many others believed God was bearing witness to the message by extraordinary miracles. Thats the same way God vindicated Jesus.

Do any of Frank Ewarts writings still exist ? Other than his published books ? Old sermon tapes, teaching outlines, etc. ??

I know Harry Morse preached Ewart's funeral. But I cannot find a copy of his obit. The church he pastored does not have any documents or real memories of Ewart. Sad.

What do you think he was wrong about?

Dave is not longer a Pentecostal he is a 5 point Calvinist and attends a Presbyterian church. His Dad was an icon on the West Coast.

It is my understanding that Ewart did repent publicly of his error. If I am not mistaken he died a member of the UPC? Elder Fisher pastored the church Ewart had in LA.

When I came into Oneness in 1980 Ewarts testimony in the book Phenomenon Of Pentecost greatly encouraged me. He was there almost from the beginning of the Pentecostal movement.

He was perhaps the first in modern times to restore the teaching of full salvation the New Testament way.

He was in charge of William Durham's church.

I'll never understand the appeal.
