The 1902 and 1908 PHC disciplines carry a ceremony for the baptism of infants. The 1911 constitution (reflecting the merger of PHC and FBHC) is void of any theological reflection on this deviation from the North American Pentecostal norm. The 1989 (PHC) minutes and 1989 (PHC) manual do not make reference to such a practice.. Support for the baptism of infant was particularly acute during successful (PHC) affiliation talks with the Methodist Pentecostal Church in Chile.

Crumpled resists the pentecostal experience; attacks A.H. Butler in his publication.
