**************************
What is a Hauge Conference? What do Haugeans believe?
 
1. The demand for true conversion, with emphasis on the working of God's Law in bringing the sinner to repentance. Paul said, "By the Law comes the knowledge of sin." (Rom 3:20)  It is interesting when you look at a history of the great revivals and the great awakenings that have happened in history; they were almost always accompanied by a revival of the preaching of the law of God. That was the case with the revival initiated by Hans Hauge. 
 
2. Living faith, a vital and personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, manifested in holy living. With the state church everyone was baptized and everyone's names were written on the churches rolls, so everyone presumed they were also written in the lambs book of life. But Hans Nielsen Hauge preached that no one could claim they were a Christian unless they were born of God and had the witness of the spirit with in them.
 
The Lutheran State Church of the early nineteenth century has been characterized as "a magnificent ice palace" by one historian, who sites the following illustration as an example of the official attitude toward those who sought to promote spiritual life:
 
A crown official was informed that a conventicle was in session at a certain place. He hastened to the scene, but found no one reading the Bible but only a table laden with bottles, glasses, and playing cards. "There are no "Readers" here; these people are all good Lutherans."
 
3. An ethical emphasis on sanctification.
Sanctification literally means to separated from ordinary use to a sacred purpose. As Christians we are set aside, we are separated from the world; we are God's own people. Eph 5:7-8  Therefore do not be partakers with them.
8 Walk in Light, For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
 
4. An emphasis on personal Salvation.
Like I said earlier, it was a state church. You were born into it. You were baptized and everyone was a Christian. Lutheranism in many churches has reverted back to that. Its sacramentalism, you're baptized, and when you're older, you're Confirmed and you take Communion and as long as you perform the rituals you're ok. You don't have to change your life or anything radical like that.
 
It’s a personal salvation. God doesn’t have any grandchildren. He only has children. And how do you become a child? You have to be born? How do you become a child of God? You have to be born of God. Even the baptized need to have a personal experience of sin and grace. 
John 1:12-13
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
 
5. Vigilance, or the continual need for Christians to watch and pray lest they fall and to examine themselves spiritually on a regular basis.
Oh I think this is so important. "Prone to wander Lord to feel it. Prone to leave the God I love."  We're like Adam and Eve, we're like Samson, we're like David, we're like Judas, we're like Peter, it's easy to loose our first love, it's easy to become lukewarm. Heb 3:13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
 
Sin is deceitful, we need to be constantly on guard, and we often times need other Christians to call us back. We develop blind spots, we start to compromise in little things and often times we don't even see it. We need to be accountable to each other.
 
 
6. Evangelism, a burning compulsion to spread the Good News by means of simple and direct personal outreach.
Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which is lost. If we are His, that will be our desire too.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
In response to questions being asked concerning the objectives and ministries of the HAUGE LUTHERAN INNER MISSION FEDERATION, we share this brief information.


While the Federation has enjoyed a long history among Lutheran Christians in many areas of this country, there are those, especially of the younger people who are quite unfamiliar with the movement. Should you be one of these, we trust this information will be helpful and informative.

The Hauge Lutheran Innermission Federation is:
A FREE MOVEMENT AMONG LUTHERANS FOR SPIRITUAL LIFE. It is not to be confused with any church body or synod. Rather, it is a fellowship of Lutheran Christians working for revival and spiritual life within the existing church and throughout the Christian community.

The “Hauge connection” identifies the movement historically with the Haugean revivals in Norway which had such a powerful impact upon that nation in the early nineteenth century. The Hauge Federation today exists as a REVIVAL MOVEMENT, stressing the desperate need of spiritual awakening and new life in Christ.

A LAY-WITNESS MINISTRY IN THE HAUGEAN TRADITION. Following his conversion to Christ as a young farm boy, Hans Nielsen Hauge promptly felt the call to be a witness for Christ. He began at once sharing the Gospel with his neighbors and friends, and ultimately throughout the length and breadth of Norway.

The Hauge Federation today is essentially a lay-movement encouraging spiritual life and leadership among the laypeople. While the involvement of pastors and of church leaders is always welcome, the work is directed largely by laymen.

A RESOURCE MINISTRY FOR EVANGELISM. The Hauge Federation desires to be a spiritual resource providing assistance to pastors and churches in their evangelistic efforts. As an inter-Lutheran fellowship, the Federation is not bound by synodical affiliations, but is supportive of all Lutheran church bodies that are faithful to the Word of God.


THE PUBLISHER OF THE “MORNING GLORY”, 9 per/yr, (January, March, May, June, August, September, October, and December), devotional paper for the home and family . MORNING GLORY, which is edited by Wayne Almlie, is a refreshing Christian witness in print, featuring the best in devotional reading, evangelistic messages and religious news. Haga Publishing is the publishing arm of the Innermission. We are planning on printing a number of evangelistic / pietistic tracts, booklets and brochures.  Your subscription to the MORNING GLORY may be secured by writing:
