I remember when the arguments began about who first spoke in tongues at the turn of the century. It began as an on-going debate about where modern Pentecostalism began. Was it in the Cherokee mountains in Carolina/Tennessee or was it at Azusa Street, California?
I never was taken in by the Azusa Street stories. I believed that they were parallel beginnings neither influenced by the other. By 1910 both were movements and then they became connected.
What are your thoughts?
CHEROKEE COUNTY FIRST, AZUZA 2ND! The devil’s real6target was dividing along racial. Barriers was THE DOCTRINE OF INSTANT SANCTIFICATION! THE CHURCH OF THE NAZERENE SPLIT WITG THE METHODISTS IN 1908 ( DURING THE AZUZA REVIVAL) AND THE ASSEMBLUES IF GOD SPLIT ALONG RACIAL LINES FROM CHARLES MASON AND COGIC
(Not saying this is where it began but something I found out recently that was interesting) In my family history, they were Quakers speaking in tongues in the 1700’s. They were targeted and brutally treated due to it. They originally were in NC and TN.
