Searching For The Truth In Pentecostal History | Our Stories | 653

John and Andrew explore the hidden history of Pentecostalism, the Independent Assemblies of God, the PAOC, Myrtle Beall, George Hawtin, and the New Order of the Latter Rain. Andrew shares how family history, church memory, prophecy, and Canadian Pentecostal roots led him to question what was inherited, what was biblical, and what may have quietly continued into modern charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation circles. The discussion examines how movements build entire systems of belief from loaded phrases, prophecy stories, personal experience, and verses taken outside their original setting. From Azusa Street and early Pentecostal splits to Latter Rain influence in local churches, the conversation asks how Christians can separate genuine faith from inherited religious systems, historical gaps, and spiritual authority claims. 00:00 Introduction 01:38 Growing Up in the PAOC 02:42 Independent Assemblies of God Questions 04:40 Researching a Family Church History 06:31 The Problem of Conflicting Pentecostal Histories 09:05 PAOC History, Azusa Street, and Latter Rain 13:14 Pentecostal Origins and Revival Networks 17:15 Doctrine, Seymour, Durham, and Sanctification 21:29 Denominational Splits and Doctrinal Perfection 25:35 Myrtle Beall, Prophecy, and Latter Rain Influence 30:37 William Branham Historical Research Announcement 31:37 Loaded Language and Castles of Doctrine 36:25 Misused Scripture and Pentecostal Preaching 45:13 Scripture, Agendas, and Weaponized Religion 49:23 Family History, Free Methodists, and Myrtle Beall 52:29 Independent Assemblies of God and PAOC Tensions 54:14 Did Latter Rain Influence Really Die Out? ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ – Support the channel:   / branham   – Subscribe to the channel:    / @leavingthemessage   – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org – Follow on Facebook:   / williambranhamorg   – Follow on TikTok:   / william.m.branham   – Follow on Twitter:   / wmbhr   – Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books
