 | | Examples of such precursors to a Great Awakening are the Spiritualism movement, which preceded the Third Great Awakening, and the Beatnik movement, which preceded the Fourth. | | | A Great Awakening consists of the rise of a multitude of new denominations, sects, or even entirely new religions. | | | Joseph Tracy, The Great Awakening: A History of the Revival of Religion in the Time of Edwards and Whitefield, 1997, Banner of Truth, ISBN 0851517129. |

| | Puritan Religion |
| | Puritans fiercely debated how to recognize the "elect." Criteria for membership in the Puritan church were: knowledge of and belief in the doctrines of faith; an upright life, and; proof of election. | | | The Puritans believed that their message illuminated and interpreted the scripture's message. | | | Cotton Mather and other Congregational ministers saw the Puritan faith eroding and preached passionately about the need to return to the strict faith of their ancestors. |

| | Puritans certainly agitated against the king, and reform of the religion was a rallying cry for the Parliamentary forces. | | | The largest denominational group to emerge from the Puritan experience is the group of Presbyterian denominations, historically Calvinist, and practising a church policy that rejects episcopacy, though, of course, Presbyterianism had been strong in Scotland from the late sixteenth century (the Church of Scotland was and still is Presbyterian). | | | Puritanism seems to have arisen out of discontent with the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which was felt by the more radical Protestants to be giving in to "Popery" (i.e., the Catholic Church). |

| | Puritanism in New England |
| | Puritans believed that belief in Jesus and participation in the sacraments could not alone effect one's salvation; one cannot choose salvation, for that is the privilege of God alone. | | | When William Laud, an avowed Arminian, became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1633, the Church of England began to embrace beliefs abhorrent to Puritans: a focus on the individual's acceptance or rejection of grace; a toleration of diverse religious beliefs; and an acceptance of "high church" rituals and symbols. | | | Unlike Anglican and Catholic churches of the time, Puritan churches did not hold that all parish residents should be full church members. |

| | The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut - 1740's Jonathan Edwards and the Great Awakening |
| | Many devout church members believed the Great Awakening of 1735-1745 was necessary to combat secular influences in the lives of the Puritans and reinstitute the authority of the Congregational Church. | | | Isolating the third generation of Puritans from the traditional means of receiving God's grace, this Covenant furthered the degeneration of the church. | | | Until the Great Awakening sparked divisions within the churches, the Congregational Church of Connecticut monopolized the religious life of the colonists.[27] When New Lights began challenging the traditional establishment, however, separate churches destroyed the harmony of the religious order of Connecticut and stimulated religious intolerance. |

| | Awakening and Community |
| | The underlying belief of puritanism was that people were bound by a covenant with God and that faith was to have consequences on all aspects of their lives. | | | Yet in the Awakening world view there is an emotional aspect that can't be found in the Enlightenment, which was an 'age of (pure) reason.' And finally, the ultimate consequence of the Enlightenment in Europe was a general weakening of faith, and not a religious revival. | | | Likewise the religious awakening and revival during the eighteenth century was certainly not a matter of chance. |

| | The compromises of the Half-way covenant were swept aside, and the notion of the church as a body of saints, was reclaimed. | | | Although the name is slightly misleading--the Great Awakening was not one continuous revival, rather it was several revivals in a variety of locations--it says a great deal about the state of religion in the colonies. | | | The old Puritan synthesis of head and heart--of a religion that appealed to both mind and spirit--broke apart. |

| | Moreover, the Puritans desired to have a state church with a regenerate membership, but their frustration grew as it became apparent that a number of those of the second generation could not testify to a conversion experience. | | | They were the means by which tens of thousands were converted to Christ and swept into the churches, often to the accompaniment of great emotion and excitement, which aroused misgivings in the minds of many church leaders in the more staid East. | | | A synod of the Massachusetts churches tried to solve the problem in 1662 when it declared that adults who had been baptized as infants and who now professed faith and lived uprightly but who had not had a conversion experience might be accepted as church members. |

| | Other Puritan beliefs included a more separate church from state than was currently in England with its belief that God puts his authority in the king and that is the end of the matter. | | | It was because of this circumstance that the idea of separation of church and state began to be voiced throughout the colonies, instead of a one-denominational state-taxed church. | | | While the British Anglicanism followed a more tradition-based approach (following the Roman Catholics), the Puritans were absolutely Bible based as to where their authority and rules for living came from. |

They were stern Calvinists, believing that some among them were "saints" exclusively predestined by God for salvation. | | | The fact is that the roots of the cultural revolution now underway, including televangelism, are sunk deep in the history of belief, specifically the belief that America is a special nation holding a covenant with God, with dominion as the payoff for faithfully honoring it. | | | The Puritans may have first kindled the thought that the Kingdom of God could actually be built on the North American continent, but they had no monopoly on it. |
