but with only 12 apostles, most of them aristocrats.

don’t we need to divorce glossolalia from just ecstatic utterances? My experience growing up was that ecstatic utterance was encouraged and once an ecstatic utterance was achieved the further pursuit was halted.
Can you sit back and speak in tongues without ecstacy and high volume? I can and do it daily!!!

tracing this phenomenon is a historical impossibility w/o going to the beginning of Acts and knowing it is still for us today. To say it stopped and then revived in the Appalachian foothills (or Azusa Street) in the 1900s is preposterous.

I agree that we would never say the gifts of the Spirit ceased in human history. But many of them did become virtually unknown. Historically there became an increase in manifestations throughout the 19th century with an emergence of the classical Pentecostal movement as the 20th century dawned. There was such a crtical mass by the time of Azusa Street revival that it is considered the beginning of a new movement.

was it tongues or was it a broad fundamentalist movement of which Holiness and Pentecostal was a small part?

Troy in 1914 some claimed a revelation form G-d that Jesus Only baptism was revealed! The fact is what they believed was a revelation was really the teaching of one called St Ambrose taught that Acts 2:38 and Matthew 28:19 at one and the same, this so called revelation is taught today by the UPC. Though they immerse according to Acts 2:38 thrust go on to teach the doctrine of Ambrose by teaching Acts 2:38 fulfills Matthew28:19 when a repented sinner is trapped by falsehood after coming up out of the water end up at a Terry service ask to be filled with the assurance of salvation because they are troubled that they didn’t receive the Holy Ghost evidenced by the accompanying sign as Jesus promised! Any questions?

Troy just what I was thinking! You don’t know the history upon you are resting!

🙂 You are probably referring to the 1914 AG separation which of course has nothing to do with OP dont you think ?

Interesting Article. But that that photo is from the either the late 1940’s or the early-to-mid 1950’s based on the hair styles and clothing. there is no way that photo is from the 1800’s. ((( check out those home-made pews.

That is where the Church Of God Started. In the 1800.

CoG still started along that time.
