Page "Wang Ming-Dao" Paragraph 11

Wang founded the Christian Church in Christ ( CCiC ), which emphasized " the practical aspects of the Christian life.

" Wang believed that the greatest responsibility of church leaders was to help Christians " tread the path of holiness.

" He often refused baptism to converts until they had proved that their Christianity was more than a " profession of their lips.

" An obsessively orderly man, Wang's advice included admonitions against spitting, flirting, brawling, and chewing on raw garlic.

Conversely, he advised Christians to be timely, wear proper attire, and observe traffic rules.

Although the Pentecostal preacher who had immersed Wang tried to have him speak in tongues, Wang balked at making repetitive nonsense sounds, and he was repelled by the " indecorous behavior of some Pentecostals who ' danced, clapped, and shouted wildly ' during revival meetings.
