| | |  camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - Apostolic Faith Mission - HistoryIn April of 1906, William J. Seymour, an African-American holiness movement preacher, was invited to preach in a black Nazarene church in Los Angeles, U.S.A.. After his first sermon, proclaiming that speaking in tongues was the "initial evidence" of being baptized in the Holy Spirit, he was locked out of that church. Subsequently, Seymour was invited to stay in a home at 214 Bonnie Brae Street and to hold services there ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - Early life of Joseph Smith Jr. - Moroni and the Golden Plates While Smith was working as a treasure seeker, he was also frequently occupied with another more religious matter: acquiring a set of Golden Plates he claimed were deposited, along with other artifacts, in a prominent hill near his home.
In Smith's own account dated 1838, he claimed that an angel visited him on the night of September 21, 1823[3]. Concerning the visit, Smith dictated the following:
"He called me by name, an ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - History of the Latter Day Saint movement - Origins of the Movement The early men and women who came together to form what became known as the Latter Day Saint movement, shared some beliefs in common with other Restorationists, but certain factors made them unique. Although the movements shared a belief in the need to "restore" the "true church" of Jesus Christ, the early Latter Day Saints also believed that direct authority from God was essential for such a restoration to be valid.

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - Early life of Joseph Smith Jr. - Joseph Smith's First Vision Like his father, the younger Smith reportedly had his own set of visions, the first of which occured in the early 1820s when Smith was in his early teens and is called by Latter Day Saints the First Vision. The first description of this event was not published until 1832, which said the event occurred in 1821 (Smith 1832, p. 3); however, most accounts date the event to the year 1820.[1] The First Vision was a theophany (a person ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - Early life of Joseph Smith Jr. - Moving to Harmony Pennsylvania Once Smith had the purported Golden Plates, temporarily kept safe from his Palmyra neighbors, his focus turned to getting the engravings on them translated. To do so, however, he needed money, and at the time he was penniless (Smith 1853). Therefore, Smith sent his mother (Smith 1853, p. 110) to the home of Martin Harris, a local landowner said at the time to be worth about $8,000 to $10,000 (Howe 1834, p. 260).
Harris had apparently been a close confidant of the Smith family since at least 1826 (Howe 1834, pp. 255), and he may have h ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - Early life of Joseph Smith Jr. - Work as a treasure seeker and marriage to Emma At about the same time as Smith reportedly had his First Vision, it has been said that he began to practice crystal gazing, a form of divination in which a "seer" looks into a crystal, often called a seer stone, to divine esoteric knowledge. There are two stories about how Smith obtained his first seer stone. According to an account of an interview with Smith, Sr., a 14-year-old Joseph borrowed the stone from a person working as a local crystal gazer (Lapham 1870, pp. 305-306); it reportedly showed him the underground location ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - Early life of Joseph Smith Jr. - Smith's religious background Smith was raised during the Second Great Awakening, a time in U.S history when there was a considerable revival of interest in Christianity, in reaction to the more secular Age of Enlightenment which preceded it. During the Awakening, western New York so frequently "caught fire" with revivalism that it later became known as the "Burned-over district".
Smith's family and ancestors, like the majority of families of this era, had little affiliation with organized religion; however, they were privately religious, accepting of things like ...

The Smiths were a farming family and several moves in and around New England were necessitated by crop failures and some ill-fated business ventures.
During the winter of 1812-1813, when Joseph was eight years old, his leg became dangerously infected. Some doctors advised amputation, but his family refused. After a successful operation to remove parts of his affected shin bone (without anesthesia or the commonly used tranquilizer at that time ...

Rev. Darrel Lee is currently serving as overseer. Both home and foreign missions have emerged on a large scale, with works in Africa, Asia, the West Indies, and Europe. While each of these have their own leadership, the Portland headquarters is still seen as having the final say.
American congregations are also, of course, under the leadership and direction of the headqua ...

As a Trinitarian and fundamental church, their doctrinal position centers on a belief in a born-again experience, supports the Wesleyan teaching of holiness, and stresses the need of sanctified believers to receive the Pentecostal experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. While it has been preached from their pulpit that they hold to an Arminian teachin ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - History of the Latter Day Saint movement - The movement's historical context The Latter Day Saint movement arose in western New York, the area where its founder Joseph Smith, Jr. was raised, during a period of religious revival in the early 19th century called the Second Great Awakening. This "awakening" was a Christian response to the secularism of the Age of Enlightenment, and extended throughout the United States, particularly the frontier areas of the west.
A significant early event in this Second Great Awakening was a large camp meeting that took place in 1801 at Cane Ridge, Kentucky, in which participant ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - History of the Latter Day Saint movement - The Movement in Ohio The movement more than doubled in size with the conversion of Sidney Rigdon, a former Campbellite minister. Rigdon led several congregations of Restorationists in Ohio's Western Reserve area, and hundreds of his adherents followed him into Mormonism. A fiery orator, Rigdon was called to be Smith's spokesman and immediately became one of the movement's leaders. By 1831, the church's headquarters were established in Kirtland, Ohio and Smith urged the membership to ...

| | | | camp meeting: Encyclopedia II - History of the Latter Day Saint movement - The Movement in Illinois With the help of sympathetic non-Mormons in Illinois, the Latter Day Saint refugees soon regrouped and established a new headquarters in Nauvoo. Smith and other leaders escaped Missourian custody and rejoined the main body of the movement in 1839. Construction began on a new temple, significantly more magnificent than the one left behind in Kirtland. The Nauvoo city charter authorized independent municipal courts, the foundation of a university and the establishment of a militia unit known as the "Nauvoo Legion." These ...

Joseph Smith Jr. revealed to Latter Day Saints that the Second Coming of Christ was near at hand and that the "centerplace" of the City of Zion would be near the town of Independence in Jackson County. Latter Day Saints began to settle the area to "build up" the City of Zion in 1831. Settlement was rapid and non-Mormon residents became alarmed that they might lose political control of the county to ...

Having planted this initial colony in the Great Basin, Young returned to Winter Quarters and in December of 1847 reorganized his faction of the church, establishing himself as the head of a new First Presidency. This reorganization led to additional schisms, including the break with Alpheus Cutler and what became the Church of Christ (Cutlerite) as well as Ly ...
