"Ern Baxter's preaching style is not in the American Pentecostal tradition at all. There is no ranting, no table-thumping, very little overt emotionalism and no shouting. He relies heavily on notes and in small gatherings favours the blackboard and other visual aids. His methadology is to build up strong arguments by means of biblical exposition and original hermaneutics. Like most of the Fort Lauderdale Five, he makes elaborate use of typology and Old Testament incidents which are then read into New Testament and present day".
Andrew Walker - "Restoring the Kingdom" - Eagle Publication (1998) - (p95).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
