Revived
  • While Mason, D. J. Young and J.A. Jeter, were at
    the Azusa Street Revival in LA Mason lead by
    William Seymour and received the gift of the
    Spirit which was demonstrated by him speaking in
    tongues or glossolalia.

  • Jones and Jeter split with Mason over the issue
    of speaking in tongues. Mason thought it was
    necessary as a demonstration of being baptized by
    the Holy Ghost Jones did not.

    Assembly of God.
  • Mason established a national supervisor for women.

    affirmation, dances of praise, testimonies of
    goodness, songs of mercy as worshippers
    unashamedly Praise the Lord.

  • The Church believes in the demonstration of the
    gifts of the Spirit.
