Good point, depending upon what exactly you mean by "originating." Given a strict definition of "originating," seems Apostolic Pentecostalism also originated in America in the 20th Century. Of course, OPs will disagree, just like JWs will disagree about where and when Abiding Now says they really first came from.
Considering the Long Dark Era where the most powerful winner (ie, Catholics) wrote the history books, then basically anything is unprovable and unfalsifiable regarding any sectarian claims about their origin. (That is, regarding various sects' plausible claims about what was really "original.")
So, why did an Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omniloving and Omnibenovolent God allow, no rather, demonstrably intend the Long Dark Era of Catholic rule, not to mention its literary dominance?
So, in the end, the Gates of Hell really did not prevail against the true gospel, at least not prevailing in consideration of the Azuza Street revivals and Oneness Revelations circa 1906? (Yeah, right!)
