She was a woman preacher.

She was a Trinitarian.

What more do you want?

I had a woman in our church who spent a huge time with Ruth Heflin. Lived at the Heflin campground in Ashland Virginia for years.

But Ruth Heflin was a Trinitarian Pentecostal, believed in a huge amount of absolute malarkey, to utter insanity. She died of cancer at 60.

Here is some of her mess, if you have the stomach for it.

Re: Ruth Heflin

Some of the people that followed seemed to have somewhat of an outward standard. You pretty much answered my question. Thanks.

Re: Ruth Heflin

She was known by the "gold dust" at her meetings (and we all know how biblical that is)! As mentioned she died at age 60 in the year 2000.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Ruth Heflin

I went to a meeting in Memphis once where she was speaking. I had never heard of her, so I had no preconceived notions. When she got up, I thought she was some kind of old time Pentecostal, but didn't know anything about her. Just not the normal conference speaker "look".
There was nothing weird that night. Just old time holiness preaching and a powerful move of God. I don't know anything about here beliefs as far as the godhead, but I do know that she preached that night!
There was no gold dust, angel dust, or anything of that sort. Just a lot of women seeking God. I was on the floor and literally could not get up, from the heaviness of the power of God.
I won't judge her.

Ruth told Benny Hinn that Jesus Christ was going to appear bodily in Hinn's crusades. You not judging her isn't helping her now.
