International Pentecostal Holiness<br />
Church<br />
This body grew out <strong>of</strong> the National Holiness<br />
Association movement <strong>of</strong> the nineteenth century,<br />
with roots in Methodism. Beginning in the South<br />
<strong>and</strong> Midwest, the church represents the merger <strong>of</strong><br />
the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church founded by<br />
B. H. Irwin in Iowa in 1895; the Pentecostal<br />
Holiness Church founded by A. B. Crumpler in<br />
Goldsboro, North Carolina, in 1898; <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Tabernacle Pentecostal Church founded by N. J.<br />
Holmes in 1898.<br />
All three bodies joined the ranks <strong>of</strong> the pentecostal<br />
movement as a result <strong>of</strong> the Azusa Street<br />
revival in Los Angeles in 1906 <strong>and</strong> a 1907 pentecostal<br />
revival in Dunn, N.C., conducted by G. B.<br />
Cashwell, who had visited Azusa Street. In 1911,<br />
the Fire-Baptized <strong>and</strong> Pentecostal Holiness bodies<br />
merged in Falcon, N.C., to form the present<br />
church; the Tabernacle Pentecostal Church was<br />
added in 1915 in Canon, Georgia.<br />
The church stresses the new birth, the Wesleyan<br />
experience <strong>of</strong> sanctification, the pentecostal baptism<br />
in the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in<br />
tongues, divine healing <strong>and</strong> the premillennial second<br />
coming <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />
