Product Description
Product Description
Genuine Gold: The Cautiously Charismatic Story of the Early Christian and Missionary Alliance documents the supernatural heritage of the early Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA)-welcoming the supernatural with discernment-and calls the denomination to embrace again the charismatic dimensions of the Holy Spirit today and to return to its originally close relation to the Pentecostal-charismatic movement. Author Paul L. King, C&MA historian and theologian, shows how the early C&MA, a robustly evangelical movement, embraced many practices and doctrines of the new Pentecostal movement following the famous Azusa Street Revival of 1906. Yet in following decades, the C&MA distanced itself from the Pentecostal and later charismatic movements. The reasons? Partly because the C&MA insisted on a non-exclusive view of speaking in tongues and on discernment-distinguishing the gold of genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit from the spurious. But also because the C&MA allied itself increasingly with non-Pentecostal evangelicalism. Genuine Gold urges the C&MA to rekindle the flame of spiritual renewal through its carefully documented history of the Alliance's early vibrancy.

Discernment or Drift? The C&MA and the Holy Spirit, May 15 2006
By marco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genuine Gold: The Cautiously Charismatic Story of the Early Christian and Missionary Alliance (Paperback)
Genuine Gold: The Cautiously Charismatic Story of the Early Christian and Missionary Alliance documents the supernatural heritage of the early Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) -- welcoming the supernatural with discernment -- and calls the denomination to embrace again the charismatic dimensions of the Holy Spirit today and to return to its originally close relation to the Pentecostal-charismatic movement.Author Paul L. King, C&MA historian and theologian, shows how the early C&MA, a robustly evangelical movement, embraced many practices and doctrines of the new Pentecostal movement following the famous Azusa Street Revival of 1906.
Yet in following decades, the C&MA distanced itself from the Pentecostal and later charismatic movements. The reasons? Partly because the C&MA insisted on a non-exclusive view of speaking in tongues and on discernment -- distinguishing the gold of genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit from the spurious. But also because the C&MA allied itself increasingly with non-Pentecostal evangelicalism.
Genuine Gold urges the C&MA to reverse its drift and to rekindle the flame of spiritual renewal through its carefully documented history of the Alliance's early vibrancy.
It is meticulous (hundreds of end-notes and thoroughly indexed), meaty, and of high merit in historical reporting and theological analysis.

REQUIRED READING FOR ALLIANCE AND ASSEMBLIES OF GOD LEADERS, Dec 30 2006
By Shelby Boese - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genuine Gold: The Cautiously Charismatic Story of the Early Christian and Missionary Alliance (Paperback)
Being a former A/G minister now in the Alliance this book was wonderful. We are a pentecostal/charismatic Alliance church and Dr. Kings work has completely re-affirmed this direction.The Alliance has affirmed the gifts and person of the Holy Spirit, without the "intial phsycial evidence" doctrine. Amen.
Read it if you are A/G read it if you're Alliance.
Also a great discussion of the people who left the Alliance for the A/G and people who later left the A/G to join or come back to the Alliance.
A GREAT corrective for Edith L. Blumhofer's history of the A/G as regards the Alliance.

An exciting book on the C&MA, Sep 13 2006
By John L. Otto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Genuine Gold: The Cautiously Charismatic Story of the Early Christian and Missionary Alliance (Paperback)
I heard Paul King speak at a conference and I was impressed by what he said. I purchaced his book "Genunine Gold" and found it to be the most exciting book about the C&MA I have ever read. My admiration for Dr. A. B. Simpson, the founder of the C&MA, skyrocketed. I believe this book should be required reading for every minister and worker in the C&MA. It is well researched and documented. If you want to learn about the exciting Spirit-filled ministry of the early C&MA this is a must read book.
