“Missionaries traveled to remote countries to preach the Fourfold Gospel: Jesus is Savior, Sanctifier (Baptizer in the Holy Spirit), Healer, and soon-coming King.” (Page 12)

“Word and Witness published the following reasons for the convention: (1) unity among the churches, (2) conservation of the work at home and on foreign fields, (3) better support for missionaries, (4) chartering with a legal name, and (5) Bible school training for ministers.” (Page 27)

“During the Protestant Reformation, the leaders of the Reformation denounced any such claims because they believed the work of the Holy Spirit centered on salvation.” (Page 11)

“On January 1, 1901, Agnes N. Ozman became the first student to speak in tongues.” (Page 16)

“Pentecostals differed in certain areas of doctrine as well. Early Pentecostals disagreed on tongues as the required evidence of Spirit baptism. They also quarreled about the nature of sanctification. The view of God as a Trinity (one God in three persons) versus God as one Person, Jesus only, caused great division.” (Page 14)
