| | Kaspar Schwenkfeld von Ossig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Schwenkfeld began to teach that the true believer ate the spiritual body of Christ. | | | The Schwenkfelder Church has remained small, and currently there are six² churches with about 3000 members in southeastern Pennsylvania. | | | Some of the teachings of Kaspar Schwenkfeld included opposition to war, secret societies, and oath-taking, that the government had no right to command one's conscience, that regeneration is by grace through inner work of the Spirit, that believers feed on Christ spiritually, and that believers must give evidence of regeneration. |

| | December 10: Caspar Schwenkfeld's unique views |
| | Caspar's main desire was to worship, praise and glorify Christ. | | | Caspar also developed a unique understanding of the Lord's Supper which was distinct from Luther and the other reformers. | | | He believed the true Christian at the Lord's Supper ate the spiritual body of Christ which would grow as a planted seed and transform the individual into the image of God and the person of Christ. |

| | After 1734 a Schwenkfelder was not so much a spiritual heir of Reformer Caspar Schwenckfeld as a bloodline descendant of the Schwenkfelders who came to colonial Pennsylvania on the Saint Andrew. | | | The committee could not communicate to the Schwenkfelder Churches that there was a compelling reason for affiliation—to share the spiritual gifts received from Caspar Schwenckfeld von Ossig. | | | The Schwenkfelders are descendants of the followers of Caspar Schwenckfeld von Ossig (1489-1561), a German Reformer. |

| | Dipple, Oct. 99 |
| | The differences between people like Sebastian Franck and Caspar Schwenkfeld on one side and the supposedly more biblicist Anabaptists on the other are treated more as matters of degree than of kind. | | | Furthermore, if as Weigelt claims, the full elucidation of Franck's Spiritualism and emphasis on the Inner Word came about as an extension of his criticism of existing churches, then his supposed attack on the biblicism of the Lutheran Reformation was just as much an attack on the biblicism of the Anabaptists. | | | As his spiritual journey led him from Lutheranism to Spiritualism, he increasingly de-emphasized the significance of the reform of external elements of religious life, and more and more he saw sacraments and offices as obstacles and hindrances to spiritual reform rather than its instruments. |

| | The Wildfang Family of North Ame |
| | They were followers of Caspar Schwenkfeld who was born in 1740. | | | He wrote in his diary of the Jesuit persecution which the Schwenkfelders endured and the hardship that was imposed upon them because of their religious beliefs. | | | It would appear the family was probably from Bohemia, at varying times a part of Germany, and of the Moravian faith. |

| | In the Schwenkfelder spiritual tradition, de Benneville's theology had a dualistic model of humanity. | | | Most of the surviving books, manuscripts, and letters of George de Benneville are housed in the Schwenkfelder Library in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania. | | | Hearing of the religious and medical needs of recently settled Schwenkfelder and Huguenot communities, and commissioned to help Sauer's publication program, he felt an overwhelming divine call to go to America. |

| | SABBATH KEEPERS DURING THE REFORMATION TIMES |
| | This was sent to Wolfgang Capito, a leading Strassburg Reformer, and to Caspar Schwenkfeld (then living as an exile at Strassburg), the founder of the mystic sect that is perpetuated among the Schwenkfeldian congregations in eastern Pennsylvania. | | | Although Schwenkfeld, following the illustrious example of Pope Gregory the Great, knew no difference between the Sabbath and circumcision, yet the Sabbatarians of both the seventh and sixteenth centuries, enlightened by God’s own Word, were well aware of the truth on this point. | | | In this refutation, Schwenkfeld approached th old Gnostic ideas, by claiming: “Resting from sin is the true, spiritual Sabbath; true Sabbath sanctification was not to cease from manual labour and be idle, but to do no evil, and to let the old man rest from all his works,” |

| | Communalism (3) (Rexroth) |
| | In the years to come Spiritualizers, Sebastian Franck, Caspar Schwenkfeld, Hans Denk, Valentin Weigel, and the rest, down to Jakob Boehme, were the favorite reading matter of the reorganized and reformed Anabaptists &; who would come to be called Mennonites. | | | Under the blows of relentless persecution the movement divided into three parts: pacifists, who refused oaths, military service, and public office, but who rejected communism; those who were both pacifists and communists; and the surviving militant chiliasts who mostly would literally die out under persecution. | | | Most of them were deeply influenced by the parallel movement of the Spiritualizers, who placed little stress on baptism and holy communion, or had abandoned the sacraments altogether. |

| | He opposed war and oath-taking, emphasized inward mystical religion, rejected infant baptism and other sacraments and held that spiritual regeneration is effected by grace wrought by the work of the Holy Spirit within the individual. | | | He believed Christ's humanity was deified and thus alienated himself from the "mainstream" Reformation movement. | | | Undergoing a spiritual awakening in 1518, Schwenkfeld began introducing his own variety of Lutheran reform into his native Silesia in 1522. |

| | (Among the Reformers, Martin Bucer, the first to create 'Christian Communities' of believers, and Caspar Schwenkfeld, who stressed the necessity for sanctification and believers' churches, deserve a special mention.) | | | The Anabaptists, and their heirs the Mennonites, taught the importance of a close and detailed faithfulness to the Word of God, as well as the link between believers' baptism and believers' churches. | | | From the Reformers, the brethren took the three directing principles Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide. |
