| Rank | Pentecostal founder / Apostle of the Azusa Street Revival |
| Domain | Pentecostal renewal, Spirit baptism, multiracial worship, the global Pentecostal movement |
| Alignment | Holy / Pentecostal |
| Weakness | Largely written out of Pentecostal historiography by white-led successor denominations until the late 20th century; betrayed by white associates who reasserted segregation as Azusa cooled |
| Key Act | Son of formerly enslaved Louisianans (born 1870). Blind in one eye from smallpox. Studied the Spirit-baptism doctrine through a curtain because Charles Parham would not let a Black man sit in his classroom. Led the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, April 1906 - 1909, which birthed modern global Pentecostalism. The revival was multiracial in an era of hardening segregation -- "the color line was washed away in the blood" |
