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?
