**************************
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.
