=== Modern Christianity ===
[[Charles Parham]], one of the central figures in the development and early spread of American [[Pentecostalism]], is recorded to have baptised new believers in Jesus name during the [[Azusa Street Revival]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Johnston |first1=Robin |title=Howard A.

McAlister]] preached just prior to a baptismal service to be conducted at the World-Wide Apostolic Faith Camp Meeting held in [[Arroyo Seco (Los Angeles County)|Arroyo Seco, California]]. He preached that pastors should stop baptising in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and only baptize in Jesus’ name because that was what the [[Early Christianity|early Church]] did; this became known as [[R.E. McAlister#"The New Issue"|"The New Issue"]]. In 1914, a year after McAlister gave his sermon over baptism, [[Frank Ewart]] and Glenn Cook rebaptised each other in the name of Jesus. This led a number of adherents to a reexamination of the doctrine of the Trinity, birthing the [[Oneness Pentecostalism|Oneness Pentecostal movement]].
