==Holiness and Pentecostal movements==
The goal of the [[Holiness movement]] in the Methodist church was to move beyond the one-time conversion experience that the revivals produced and reach [[Christian perfection|entire sanctification]].{{sfn|Jones|1974}} The [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostals]] went one step further, seeking what they called a "baptism in the spirit" or "baptism of the Holy Ghost" that enabled those with this special gift to heal the sick, perform miracles, prophesy, and [[Speaking in tongues|speak in tongues]].{{sfn|Cerillo|1999}}

The re-discovered Pentecostal movement can be traced to the Ocoee mountains of [[East Tennessee]] in the upper [[Tennessee River]] valley, when a group led by Methodist minister [[R. G. Spurling|Richard Spurling]] met in 1886-1896 and called for holy living. At that time they experienced what is known as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering Christians to live in holiness. Little is known of this movement because it happened in the mountains, compared to the [[Azusa Street Revival]] which happened in Los Angeles, California. However, the organization born from that group led by Spurling has grown to an international presence in over 200 countries around the world with a church membership of over 7 million Christians; it is known as the [[Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee)|Church of God]], with headquarters in [[Cleveland, Tennessee]]. The organization owns [[Lee University]] and [[Pentecostal Theological Seminary]].

[[Charles Fox Parham|Charles Parham]] in [[Topeka, Kansas]], who was a Methodist minister, resigned his ordination as a minister and began preaching about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. During a service on December 31, 1899, Parham laid hands on a woman named [[Agnes Ozman]]; she is supposed to have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and to have begun speaking in tongues and prophesying. This is the root of the better known "[[Azusa Street Revival]]" in [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]] (1906) led by [[William J. Seymour]], an [[African Americans|African American]] student of Parham's.
