The Hidden Origin of the Assemblies of God: Race, Power, and Pentecostal Myth | Podcast Episode 528

Описание: John examines the real origins of the Assemblies of God, tracing its formation back to the 1914 meetings in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and the racial and organizational conflict within the Church of God in Christ. By comparing official denominational history with newspaper records and Pentecostal archives, John explains how white leadership separated to form a new organization while leaving critical context out of the modern narrative.

The episode also follows the doctrinal and relational networks connecting Charles Fox Parham, F.F. Bosworth, John G. Lake, William Branham, and the Latter Rain movement, showing how revival circuits and apostolic networks allowed destructive teachings to spread. The result is a clearer picture of how early Pentecostal power structures shaped later movements, including the New Apostolic Reformation.
