1. She is credited with derailing Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival.
2. Her holiness teachings are held to be quite subjective, imaginative, and unbalanced. As one commentator remarked, "The worst form of self can be the delusion that there is no self".

Yes, Jesse Penn-Lewis the Jezebel. She also taught and believed that demons could enter into and possess born again Christians. In fact, she said that had happened to those of the Welsh revival.
I was warned against reading The Spiritual Man. I was told that some brothers had become possessed by demons from reading the book. And that's very Penn-Lewis.
Nee was only a kid when he was poisoned by Penn-Lewis.
I know much has been said of Nee's Plymouth Brethren roots. I think Penn-Lewis threw him out of whack the most.
Also, Jesse claimed her writings were inspired just like scripture. Maybe that's where Nee came by his god-complex.
