There've been singing and shouting Methodist and Baptist long before there was an Azusa Street. One of them was my grandmother who was a "shouting Methodist" but never heard of Pentecost or Apostolic until around 1930.
If anything, we got it from them.

Apprehended,
Just more and more "tribes" coming up out of the wilderness, (out of dark-
ness into His Marvelous Light, which were not a people, but are now the
people of God.) Those dry bones getting some skin put on them and a new
spirit in them.
Some time back I posted about my paternal grandmother, who was the
first of our family to hear, search out, believe and obey the gospel. They
were devout, Bible reading, praying, shouting Methodists. Because of the
decision she made, after that she heard a message her Methodist pastor
had never preached about, there are five generations of Apostolics of her
family today.
My late father told us that when he was a child, his Methodist mother
shouted the hairpins out of her long hair. Later in the "roaring 20's" she got
the "Bob" and put on bright red lipstick, put on a chemise (popular dress of
that day), and danced the "Charlston".
My dad had not seen his mother looking like this. He said he crawled under
the house (where they kept the potatoes and onions, etc. cool), and cried.

Grandma Lizzie received the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus Name
in 1933. Dad was baptized as a 14 yrs. old boy in 1933, and received the
Holy Ghost 9 months later at 15 yrs.
