Repentance and baptism in Jesus name predate 1913 as does receiving the Spirit and speaking in tongues. I just don't know of any instance where it was preached as a necessity for salvation but that does not mean it was not experienced.
Until Luther Christians were taught to believe it was their works or faith + works that saved them.
