Detailed explanation-1: -Regeneration and Righteousness. For Whitefield, the doctrine of regeneration was not only essential to understanding Christianity, it was also practical in his preaching. He did not ask sinners to repeat a canned prayer, at least not like many do today in evangelistic crusades or encounters.
Detailed explanation-2: -George Whitefield, together with John Wesley and Charles Wesley, founded the Methodist movement. An Anglican evangelist and the leader of Calvinistic Methodists, he was the most popular preacher of the Evangelical Revival in Great Britain and the Great Awakening in America.
Detailed explanation-3: -Franklin observed that Whitefield’s older sermons were so well-practiced and modulated that they resembled “an excellent Piece of Music” and concluded that an itinerant preacher had some definite advantages over one who could not rehearse his sermons.
Detailed explanation-4: -The leaders of the Great Awakening, including Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, aimed to revive man’s relationship with God. Their purpose was to convince people that religious power was in their own hands, not the hands of the Church.
