F. F. Bosworth

===Contact with other ministries===
Bosworth had contact with many of the Pentecostal and holiness ministers of his generation, and was both influenced by them and influenced them.  Prior to coming to his Pentecostal experience, Bosworth spent several years under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie, where he would have heard many of Dowie's ideas on divine healing.  From Zion City he knew John G. Lake, Charles Parham, and a number of other Pentecostal pioneers.  In mid-1907, Bosworth, Lake, and [[Tom Hezmalhalch]] were visited by [[William J. Seymour|William Seymour]] and Glenn Cook from Los Angeles, thus leading to close contacts with the [[Azusa Street Revival]].<ref>Morton, "John G Lake's Formative Years," 23-4. https://www.academia.edu/7005594/John_G_Lakes_Formative_Years_1870-1908_The_Making_of_A_Con_Man</ref> He was associated with many of the early Pentecostal ministers, had [[Maria Woodworth-Etter]] hold several months of services for him in 1912,<ref name="Pent.

Bosworth also knew many of the ministers associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance church, including A.B. Simpson and both Paul and Luke Rader.  While in the Chicago area, Bosworth also met [[E. W. Kenyon]].  It is unclear whether his meeting with Kenyon was before his move to Texas, since he had returned to the Chicago area by 1924.<ref name="bosworthbio"/><ref name="ThinkingInTheSpirit">{{cite book

One researcher, who looked at Bosworth's other works to determine if any were influenced by Kenyon could find no other link, and the 1924 edition of "Christ the Healer" does not contain the chapter that is in the 1948 edition.
