I believe MLJ was a proponent of baptism in the Spirit as a distinct experience (unlike John Stott). He interrupted an expository series to mark the centenary of revival in the UK and preached a whole series on revival.

This is very true. But I think "dead orthodoxy" is very rare in our days. Maybe, it would help to have historical examples. I do think devout people have peaks and valleys with their walk with God.
