According to historian [[Vinson Synan]], "for the next decade, Chicago served as the de facto worldwide missions and theological center for the fast-growing movement".{{Sfn|Synan|1997|pp=132β133}} The two most important Pentecostal congregations were the Stone Church and the North Avenue Mission. Both churches had contacts with the Apostolic Faith Movement.{{Sfn|Creech|1996|p=416}} The Stone Church was established in 1906 by William Hamner Piper, a former follower of Dowie who had joined the Pentecostal movement. Due to its strategic location in Chicago, the church often hosted large conventions and rallies.{{Sfn|Blumhofer|1993|pp=79β80}} The North Avenue Mission was pastored by [[William Howard Durham]], who received Spirit baptism at Azusa Street in 1907.{{Sfn|Synan|1997|p=132}} Unlike other early Pentecostal leaders, Durham did not believe in entire sanctification as a second work of grace. He believed in the [[finished work]] doctrine, teaching that "when God saves a man, He makes him clean".{{Sfn|Blumhofer|1993|p=81}} Durham had a direct influence on many of the founders of Pentecostal movements around the world. A. H. Argue of Winnipeg, Canada, received Spirit baptism under Durham's ministry. Argue returned to Canada, and his preaching led to the founding of the [[Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada]], the Assemblies of God's sister denomination.{{Sfn|Synan|1997|p=133}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
