Wrote Professor-Emeritus Rev. Dr. Harold J. Whitney: “Perhaps the greatest feature of the Reformed Church life [in South Africa], is its annual ‘Pentecost Meetings’ — which begin with Ascension Day, and go on for ten days…. People are invited by…their Ministers to ‘hear the infallible Word of God’ — before the Scriptures are read…. Thousands of people attend these ‘Pentecost Meetings’…. The message of Pentecost is proclaimed. The Holy Spirit is honoured. The [South African] Reformed Church is opposed to the ‘Tongues Movement’ — but is not afraid to preach about the blessing of Pentecost! Andrew Murray’s well-known writings on the Holy Spirit are still the standard for many Reformed people.”
