And once they felt they had entered the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Higher_Life_movement\">&#8216;higher Christian life<\/a>&#8216; they could be extremely judgmental toward more ordinary Christians. Assurance of this personal spiritual victory apparently gave Trumball a similar certainty of his doctrinal and ethical rectitude and helped justify his merciless attacks on those whose views differed from his own. The surrendered life&#8217;s perfectionist ideals could be twisted to support the sanctimonious debates over doctrinal details and the personal rivalries that marked so much of fundamentalism&#8217;s internal affairs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Perfectionism also could turn community life into an emotional pressure cooker. Earnest young people might be directed by their counsellors at church or in Bible School to see the inevitable friction in their personal relationships as evidence of insufficient surrender. The same might be told them about\u00a0the conflicts many felt between their natural desires and abilities and their &#8216;call&#8217; to a particular field of service. At its worst, &#8216;surrendered life&#8217; teaching could be twisted to provide those who held power with a self-righteous cover for their meanness and a tool for manipulating their followers into submission&#8221; (85).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Joel Carpenter&#8217;s Revive Us Again: &#8220;Keswick perfectionism, for all its sweet demeanor, could prompt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faith","category-think"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
