Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the Church of God in Christ is a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry, hence the lower tier, though reliable for the standard account of its founding, 1907 split and current membership figures. NotesUsed for the Church of God in Christ's founding dispute with the Baptist tradition, the 1907 Pentecostal split, doctrine, polity and current statistics; not used for any claim needing a peer reviewed source.
