The chronology from Like a Mighty Army’s intro was very helpful to understand. Dr. Conn is extremely careful to place the beginning of COG in 1907 when the name Church of God was actually adopted. That settles it. I was just wondering what ministers did you mean, but you clarified them not to really part of cog but just some independent earlier outpourings. Thank you for this helpful comment and thanks to Christopher Hart for a good point

David Lewayne Porter The question was about which ministers may have been baptized? Most of them were ordained Baptists or Methodists at the time and there were no ministers ordained by cog til 1907.

Troy Day The original post was Speaking in tongues in America prior to 1906 and the Azusa Street revival.

I find this ONE of the best rads this group ever produces Melvin Harter Peter Vandever Joe Absher
Joe Absher
Is that what defines though ?
Varnel Watson
what do you mean Joe Absher did you read the article ?
Joe Absher
Is tongues the defining act of pentecost . do you need work or something ?
Varnel Watson
YES Joe Absher in American Pentecostal theology tongues IS the defining act of pentecostl it comes after a very long theological process of formation From salvation by grace, via entire Sanctification and Wesleyan renewal to tongues being experienced but NOT defined and finally tongues as initial evidence. In 21c it has been going backwards tho, ppl want the gifts but not the initial evidence Instead of casting demons out as a NT ministry they have gone to OT story telling And in some cases brief intro 3 jokes and benediction without altar prayer as Peter Vandever dully noted Pentecostal POWER has been replaced by evangelical nothingness and political porn Covid and the riots are just part of it
Joe Absher
Exactly
