  • Finished Work is a doctrine within Pentecostal Christianity which holds that sanctification is not a necessary prerequisite to the baptism in the Holy Spirit. It was one of the New Issues that arose in the early Pentecostal revivals in the North-Western region of the United States, and the dispute surrounding it was called the Finished Work Controversy. It was a polarizing influence that lead to bitter schisms in the second decade of the 20th century, primarily in the Apostolic Faith Mission, a satellite work in the Pacific Northwest lead by Florence L. Crawford a staunch proponent of entire sanctification. The term Finished Work arises from the aphorism “It's a Finished Work at Calvary” referring to salvation and deemphasizing sanctification.
