The Pentecostal revival as we know it today sprung out of the holiness movement that taught the doctrine of "Entire Sanctification." The holiness movement began with the preaching of John Wesley.
It is when men and women begin living lives of holiness, the temple of man is clean, God will move in. With the holiness movement, there came a strong desire for Pentecost though they did not know what they were desiring. The Holy Ghost began to be poured out. Many spoke in tongues within the holiness movemnt, including John Wesley. The outpouring, like a rain began to fall in increasing abundance often centered around various groups like the Irvingites and others for instance.
The rains came in ever increasng abundance but it was not until widespread media circulation of the outpourig by a lady publisher whose name I don't recall at the moment...Flrorence something ? Her paper went world-wide. Missonaries abroad came home to receive their Pentecost.
Evolution of doctrine came as a line upon line, line upon line, precept upon precept, precept upon precept, here a little there a little untill...we have what we have today.
First it was the doctrine of holiness, then it was the doctrine of the evidence of the initial infilling of the Holy Ghost which was received in Topeka, Ks., among the bible school students in charge of Charles Parham. Next came the doctrine of "The finished Work of Calvary," taught by William Durham of Chicago about 1907. Out of that came the doctrine of the Oneness, fully revealed in 1913.
Just one line upon another. It appears that there has been no fresh revelation since 1913, though some claim that there has been...such as the preterist and the Divine Flesh folks.
Yet, God has a fresh Word for all who can receive it. I am waiting for it too.
