Solid. I love this sentence: "Although I think it extremely dangerous to pursue a second blessing attested by tongues, I think it no less dangerous not to pant after God at all, and to be satisfied with a merely creedal Christianity that is kosher but complacent, orthodox but ossified, sound but soundly asleep.”
I love the spirit and intention behind the creation of the Second Blessing theology, but like many parts of Christianity and life, getting extremely legalistic about it ruins what could have been helpful.
2nd blessing theology creates a schism within the church. The haves and the have nots. By definition it is thus devicive. It is unbiblical and therefore falls into the realm of a doctrine of demons.
