It's been a long time, but I remember that the concern about Penn-Lewis and The Spiritual Man was demon possession.

I wasn't told back then, but have since learned, that JP-L thought that at least some of the Welsh revival had become demon possessed. Jessie taught that Christians could become demon possessed. Thus "War on the Saints." And thus, she stifled Evan Roberts and the revival. She's called the Jezebel of the Welsh revival ... or mockingly, Jezzie. Just goggle "Jezebel of the Welsh revival."
