NOTHING, NOTHING GRINDS MORE ON A BACKSLIDDEN THEOLOGIAN THAN SOMEBODY PREACHIN’ ON HELL! –David Wilkerson, 45:04
This is the most HARDCORE REPENTANCE PREACHING audio sermon that I’ve heard to date. Several of the early Assemblies of God preachers, like Smith Wigglesworth and others used to preach like this: tough, confrontational, aimed at breaking up fallow ground, and cracking people’s stony hearts, to make them soft and contrite at the altar to make room for the sweet Holy Spirit to be felt in their lives. –J.B.
20 Centuries of Great Preaching was a resource Wilkerson relied on a lot during his Times Square Church phase. At 38:40 in this sermon, he refers to “The Expulsive Power of a New Affection” by Thomas Chalmers, which is in volume 3.
There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes. –Romans 3:10-18–
naughty (adj.)
late 14c., nowghty, noughti “needy, having nothing,” also “evil, immoral, corrupt, unclean,” from nought, naught “evil, an evil act; nothingness; a trifle; insignificant person; the number zero” (from Old English nawiht “nothing;” see naught)) + -y (2).
Specific meaning “sexually promiscuous” is from 1869. The mitigated sense of “disobedient, bad in conduct or speech, improper, mischievous” (especially of the delinquencies of children) is attested from 1630s. Related: Naughtily; naughtiness. In 16c.-18c. a woman of bad character might be called a naughty pack (also sometimes used of men and later of children).
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. –1 John 2:18-19
Sand is inexpensive and heavy, which is why sandbags are used for jobs like protecting vehicles and buildings during bombings or storms, or balancing the total weight on a boat. When you use sandbag as a verb, it either means to protect with sandbags or to deceive or coerce someone to get something you want. When you pretend that you’re terrible at basketball just so you can beat your cousin in one-on-one, you sandbag her. –Vocabulary.com
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins! –Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. –Ephesians 4:31-32 (KJV)

Denominations and associations of churches aligned with the conservative holiness movement include the following though independent churches aligned with the common themes of the conservative holiness movement exist too:
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. –James 5:14-17 (NKJV)

Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us? –Luke 24:32
It was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, and our pains that He carried. –Isaiah 53:4 (NASB)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. –1 Corinthians 13:4-6
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. –Isaiah 8:20 (KJV)
To one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. –1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (NKJV)
The disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. –Mark 16:20
If you love Me, keep My commandments. –Jesus in John 14:15 (NKJV)
I was fully convinced of what I had long suspected, 1. That the Montanists, in the second and third centuries, were real, Scriptural Christians; and, 2. that the grand reason why the miraculous gifts were so soon withdrawn, was not only that faith and holiness were well nigh lost; but that dry, formal, orthodox men began even then to ridicule whatever gifts they had not themselves, and to decry them all as either madness or imposture. –John Wesley, Journal, August 15, 1750

Wikipedia, “Hyper-Grace Theology.” (REJECTS THE NEED FOR ONGOING REPENTANCE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING YOUR SALVATION). Hyper-Grace is characterized by holding to eternal security with a high emphasis on divine grace. Hyper-Grace advocates hold that the believer is not under the Mosaic law in any sense, that one’s sinful actions cannot hurt fellowship with God, denies the necessity of regular confession of sin in the life of a believer and holds to the belief that every Christian will have an equal possession in heaven. However, Hyper-Grace advocates reject viewing grace as a “license” to live in disobedience, viewing it as the only way to stay away from sin and emphasizing the natural consequences sin may have. Thus, advocates of the view have argued that grace is the most powerful motivator of obedience. Hyper-Grace rejects the idea of “Lordship Salvation,” arguing that it leads to self-examination and doubt. Advocates of Hyper-Grace deny that salvific repentance should be viewed as contrition and hatred for sin, instead being a change of mind, thus a synonym for belief in Christ. [Edit: I believe this Wikipedia article on hyper-grace is wrong to put Dr. Sam Storms in the hyper-grace camp. Bob Wilkin, a leading antinomian theologian, reviewed Dr. Storms’ book called Kept for Jesus in 2018, and put Storms into the lordship salvation Calvinist camp.]
