Edward Irving on 5/3/1832, was judged unfit to remain pastor of the Regent Square Presbyterian Church. One of the concerns was his view on “Pentecostalism.” Later he formed “The Holy Apostolic Church” a.k.a. Catholic Apostolic Church.
It should also be noted that Irvingwas so thrilled with a book by Manuel Lacunza (Jesuit priest) who used the assumed Jewish name, Juan Josafat Ben-Ezra, that Irving made a translation of this book and published it with his own “eloquent” preface. This book and its views later influenced on John Darby, the Plymouth Brethren, and the movement toward a secret rapture. Evangelicals and the holiness movement have been too influenced by Irving and “the company” he kept – he’s shown here with warning, not approval.
