This bears earmarks of at least these 4 biblical principles:
1. Where sin abounded, there did grace much more abound;
2. When the enemy came in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifted up a standard against him;
3. “For the sake of my servant... I will not destroy it”;
4. God will always preserve a remnant.

Revival has been here for a long time. Every local independent autonomous gathering of regenerated servants of Jesus entering the Company of The Committed by the induction ceremony of immersion water baptism of publicly professing believers, which preaches the Word of God that includes progressive holiness and practices church discipline, contains revival as a principle of allegiance to God’s Incarnate Only Begotten Son.

This “revival” at a school originally founded by Methodistic Rpiscopalism when it was operating evangelistically, but since has abandoned it, is not a new thing. While still engaged as a member in the early 1970s, the UM had spiritually active little committees going around to local Methodist churches to conduct a weekend of intense focused evangelism preaching revival, andt seeing commitments. I was a part of that and visited several local congregations with the effec that reinvigorating was, in the end, later obstructed by the liberal “social gospel-trained minister-overseers who were not of the same mind, IMHO.

That generation of 50 years ago has passed away, and femininet-leaning SJWs have essentially taken over both the clergy class that promotes such anti-scriptural processes amongst the “lay” leadership. People objecting to that direction have left the denomination. I myself was born as a Methodist PK. My Dad and Mom served the UM profession for 46 years active, and were still engsged in retired service to them until their deaths.

For me, no. After finally receiving the saving spiritual rebirth at age 34 in May of 1971, I “converted” to following the evangelical independent Baptist or “Plymouth brethren”-type fellowships wherever I was located since about 1975. But I really understand what has been going on in Methodism for a long, long time since its seminary-trained ministers were given over to liberalism since the 1930s, whose impact was finally overwhelming and suppressing evangrlism in the 1950s, and women ministers began to be ordained and taking over in the 1960s.

There is more, but I would never go back tp any denomiinstional religionist organization. There is no everlasting life to be obtained in any of them, in my estimation.
