D.S. Warner

D.S. Warner (1842 - 1895)

Daniel Sydney Warner is known primarily as a church reformer and one of the founders [1] of the Church of God (Anderson) and other similar church groups. He is also known for some of his songs which other church groups have incorporated into their hymnody. He is mostly known by only the initials of his given and middle name, D. S. Warner, which was typical for his time period.

On April 22, 1881, Warner "came out" of all holiness associations, saying, "We were positively denied membership [in any holiness association] on the ground of not adhering to any sect. And now we wish to announce to all that we wish to cooperate with all Christians, as such, in saving souls—but forever withdraw from all organisms that uphold and endorse sects and denominations in the body of Christ." "Anti-sectarianism" would become a watchword for his followers for many years afterward. His detractors would call his movement, the "come-outers".

(Second Work of Grace) 30. WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11) These texts show t... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 31. THE WILD OLIVE ROOT

There dwelt in a certain town two men, and to each of them there had been conveyed by a clear will, and handed down through a long line of ancestors, a small but very precious life lot and dwelling house. But soon after they had conscious possession of the same, there began to spring up from their i... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 4. THE TWO-FOLD SALVATION CONTINUED

Some, unable to deny the two works of grace wrought in the first converts of the Gospel, have assumed that it was because the kingdom was then in process of erection; and that, when all its elements were once present, one grasp of faith appropriated all the “salvation that is in Christ Jesus.” This,...

(Second Work of Grace) 5. ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION A DISTINCT GRACE

All Christian teachers agree that Israel ’s bondage in Egypt represents the vassalage of sin. Their deliverance under Moses, (who was a figure of Christ), their passage through the Red Sea , and song of praise foreshadow the joy of pardon; and that the sojourn in the wilderness typifies the life of ...

(Second Work of Grace) 6. THE SECOND GRACE INFERRED

My next proof of a second work of grace is based upon the fact that men and women in the merely justified state do not and generally feel that they cannot live up to the Bible standard. Thirteen years of experience, observation and conversation among faithful believers in this initial grace clearly ... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 7. THE SECOND WORK OF GRACE TAUGHT BY

We have already referred to the words of Christ in Mark 9:49, where He assured His disciples that, in order for their separation from the offensive nature, “every one” of them must be “salted with fire,” as a “sacrifice” to God. This offering of themselves was made on the Day of Pentecost, and how w... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 8. JUSTIFICATION INDUCTS INTO A DUAL STATE

To my mind, there is nothing more clearly taught in the divine Word that the following facts: 1. “Regeneration plants in us a new and divine nature.” 2. Entire sanctification destroys and removes the old nature; and 3. From these two facts, it necessarily follows that during the interval between the... Read More

(Second Work of Grace) 9. JUSTIFICATION INDUCTS INTO A DUAL STATE

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh away and every branch that beareth fruit He purgeth it that I may bring forth more fruit . . . He that abideth in me, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing . . . H... Read More

(The Sanctuary) 1. The First Covenant Sanctuary

A sanctuary denotes a place set apart, or separated. In Scripture it signifies a sacred or holy house, separated and set apart for the dwelling place of God, and a place of service and sacrifice unto him. It was his original plan, before the foundation of the world, to have a pure and holy people to... Read More

(The Sanctuary) 2. The New Covenant Sanctuary

Were it not for the dark leaven of Adventism, a few plain scriptures were all that need be given to point out the sanctuary of the New Testament, for all spiritually minded readers are very naturally led to understand that God’s church is the sanctuary. But since those crafty “children of the bondwo... Read More

(The Sanctuary) 3. The Primitive Church

The Primitive Church. Before we pass on to the cleansing and reappearance of the divine ecclesia, let us stand on the summit of present truth and point our telescope back over the mists and clouds that move along at our feet, and over the 1,260 years of utter night that extend far beyond, even into ...

Entire Sanctification - What Is It and Can It Be Obtained In This Life?

Can it be attained in this life? I need but observe that the Bible commands us in the present tense to "be holy," to "be perfect," and teaches that many have attained that state. This perfection, however, is not absolute, in which sense "there is none good but one, that is God." Neither is it angeli... Read More

Entire Sanctification: A Second Work of Grace in the Life of a Believer

Being born again is not all that there is! God's Word calls us to a "higher state of grace," "a higher plane of Christian experience" that cannot be attained by our works and efforts, but simply is to be received by faith through the Holy Spirit The church is God's appointed means of saving the worl...

Faith Healing - an Important Factor in Soul Saving

It has been a mystery to our mind how men can write articles on scriptural subjects, and give their own notions without giving a particle of scripture from beginning to end. The Highway editor shuts up his bible, picks up his pen, and says, "You may change a holiness camp meeting into a healing meet... Read More

Hebrews 12:25-29

On the 30th of August 1879, the Holy Spirit in a special manner gave me the foregoing scripture. I had never clearly comprehended its meaning and I felt impressed that the Lord was about to lead me into a new vein of truth. I shut myself up with God and the Bible, when “the Comforter, which is the H... Read More

Hymn: Gone to Bloom Above

1 A gentle hand unseen by us Has plucked our tender bud; By this alone our grief is blest— It was the hand of God. Refrain: O gentle one, we miss thee here, Sweet form we love so well; But in our Father’s better care, We know the child is well. 2 In all our hearts He planted deep This precious littl... Read More

Hymn: My Soul Is Satisfied

1 All this world, its wealth and honor, Cannot sate the human breast; But when filled with God, our Father, Every want is fully blest. Refrain: My soul is satisfied, My soul is satisfied; I am complete in Jesus love, And my soul is satisfied. 2 All my soul can wish forever I do find in Christ replet... Read More

Hymn: The Holy Remnant

1 Are you of the holy remnant, Gathered to the King of Peace? Have you found a full atonement, And abundance of His grace? Yes, my soul has come to Zion, On the high and holy way, And I’ve seen the darkness flying, Driven by the light of day. 2 Have you heard a voice from heaven, Calling in a solemn... Read More

Marriage and Divorce

Introduction We have received frequent requests to set forth this matter in the light of Divine Truth, and feel that we should do so. We have been looking to God for light and wisdom, and hope we shall be able to draw the lines where the Word does. First, we find that marriage is a Divine institutio... Read More

No Unity Without Holiness

It is sin that divides, it is holiness that brings unity and harmony. One of the Reformation Movement pioneers presents the doctrine of entire sanctification as the basis for achieving true unity among God's people In connection with His prayer for oneness, the Savior prayed the Father to sanctify t...
