This phenomenon caused great excitement and controversy in the community, and leading Baptist and Methodist leaders soon denounced the revival. Several of the worshiper's homes, as well as a provisional meeting house were burned by mobs opposing the new revival.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESynan199772_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESynan199772-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The worshipers began to meet in the house of William F.

Though the intention was still to avoid the creation of a creed and denomination, the members' consensus on certain endeavors and standards laid the groundwork for the future denomination. The Assembly declared, "We hope and trust that no person or body of people will ever use these minutes, or any part of them, as articles of faith upon which to establish a sect or denomination," and that the General Assembly was not "a legislative or executive body, [but] judicial only."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERoebuck19997_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERoebuck19997-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 1st Assembly decided that <a href="/wiki/Maundy_(foot_washing)" title="Maundy (foot washing)">foot washing</a> was on the same level as the <a href="/wiki/Sacrament" title="Sacrament">sacrament</a> of <a href="/wiki/Eucharist" title="Eucharist">communion</a> and, like other holiness groups, condemned the use of <a href="/wiki/Tobacco" title="Tobacco">tobacco</a>.

After Tomlinson's experience, the Church of God's emphasis changed from being mainly holiness in nature, to being both holiness and Pentecostal, and it has identified that way ever since.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERoebuck19999–10_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERoebuck19999–10-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1910, the official publication, "The Church of God Evangel," was founded, and it remains the oldest continuous Pentecostal publication.
