Is the Apostolic Faith Church, formerly the Apostolic Faith Mission, founded by Florence L. Crawford affiliated with this church? Ltwin ( talk) 00:40, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Later research has revealed that this is not affiliated with the Apostolic Faith Church. Ltwin ( talk) 03:42, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
The orginal reference had the Doornfontein venue as a Zionist hall before the services moved on to Bree Street. The AFM 1908-2008 reference had it they rented a Doornfontein hall and then moved on to the Bree street venue which was a Zionist venue. It would be good if we can have a third reference unrelated to these two to verify the facts. My guess is the AFM 1908-2008 reference should carry slightly more weight as it is an AFM publication.

I've had a quick look at this nomination, but I've not checked any references, etc, on this basis the article appears to be at or about GA-level.
I'm now undertaking a more detailed review: starting at the History section, working down to the end and then doing the WP:Lead last. This process may take a day or so. Pyrotec ( talk) 10:13, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
...stopping for now. To be continued. Pyrotec ( talk) 10:54, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
At this point, I'm putting the review On Hold for these points to be addressed. Pyrotec ( talk) 21:40, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
The nominator has been inactive on Wikepedia since 7th April 2012, but did respond to an email on 11th June 2012. There are still outstanding comments above, but these are not sufficient to cause me to withhold GA. I'm therefore closing this review and awarding the article GA-status.

This article claims the AFM has 1.2 million members, but the 2001 census only counted 246,000 members. The article's claim is cited to the AFM website; I am more inclined to follow statistics from an outside organization than those produced by the AFM itself. Thoughts? - htonl ( talk) 16:07, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Today (19 Oct '14) I restored this passage: "New scientific analysis of John Lake's life and work at the Apostolic Faith Mission is critical about his motives. Barry Morton states: "An analysis of the missionary career of John G. Lake shows that the initial spread of Pentecostalism and Zionism in southern Africa was facilitated by the systematic use of fraud and deception."[19] " The reason for the earlier removal by User:Ltwin was: "While this source may be very interesting and have valuable information, all we are told is that Pentecostalism is based on fraud and deception" I disagree. Ltwins words are a clear misconception of my (sourced) information, namely Barry Morton: '‘The Devil Who Heals’: Fraud and Falsification in the Evangelical Career of John G Lake, Missionary to South Africa 1908–1913'. In: African Historical Review, 44:2 (2012), pag.98-118. Morton is not saying that Pentacostalism is based on fraud and deception, but he proves that John G. Lake, one of the founders of the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa, was using fraud and deception. Among Morton's examples are misappropriating the AFM's funds and staging miraculous healings. If sources are available that contradict this sourced information, do not hesitate to add the information. Vysotsky ( talk) 15:57, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

I have got no real evidence, but [1], [2] and [3] suggest that the schism to Latter Rain Mission in South Africa ocurred one year earlier (1927). Uliraush Uliraush ( talk) 10:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
