Bethel Bible College aka, Bethel Gospel School. Founded by Charles Parham in Topeka, Kansas, October 1900. Forty students (including Agnes Ozman) had gathered to learn the major tenets of the Holiness Movement from Parham. Parham wondered about the New Testament evidence for baptism in the Holy Spirit. He went on a three day trip and asked his students to ponder this question while he was gone. They concluded that glossolalia (speaking in tongues) was proof that the Holy Spirit had fallen upon an individual, and this became the official doctrine of a number of groups that trace their beginnings to Parham's School and Agnes Ozman's experience.
