Throughout the early 20th century, week-long [[Christian revival|revival]] campaigns with local churches (and revival elements brought into the worship service) carried on the tradition of camp meetings.

Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movement competed for the loyalties of Holiness advocates (see related section below), and a separate '''[[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal-Holiness movement]]''' was born. This new dichotomy gradually dwindled the population of the mainstream of the Holiness movement.

Some Holiness advocates found themselves at home with [[Fundamentalist Christianity|Fundamentalism]] and later the [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical movement]]. It was during this time (1939) that the Methodist Episcopal Church (North and South) and the [[Methodist Protestant Church]] merged to form The Methodist Church. This merger created a Mainline Christian organization which made remaining Holiness elements within U.S. Methodism less influential.
