American Pentecostalism is the direct result of Azusa Street.

You do realize that the term 'Apostolics' means those who follow the teachings of the Apostles, right? Ergo, I don't see how you can possibly claim that's "unsubstantiated".

The Azusa Street revival was the result of people earnestly, sincerely seeking to be filled with the Spirit. We need more of that instead of people seeking to criticize.

So your stance on the Azusa St Revival?

The Azusa Street outpouring forever changed Christianity worldwide. It had a profound impact on Pentecostalism in the USA.

Right. No disputing that.

I read somewhere (link I posted) that Azusa had strange things going on, similar to what took place in Toronto and Pensacola. The writer stated that THAT has always been the fruit of Azusa.

So, when someone claims that there has always been an apostolic church (Oneness, acts 238) I wonder if it can be substantiated through recent history. If it can be shown that there was an apostolic church during the time of the Azusa revival I then would agree that Azusa had some strange fire burning.
If there wasn't an apostolic church then I'd ask why the Trinitarian Pentecostals began to offer strange fire while the apostolic did not, being "birthed" from the same movement.
