Gaston B. Cashwell, a minister of the Methodist Church, joined the Pentecostal Holiness Church in 1903. He became a leading figure in the church and the pentecostal movement on the east coast. In 1906, he traveled to Los Angeles to visit the pentecostal revival at the Azusa Street mission. While there he professed having received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the evidence of speaking in tongues. Upon returning to Dunn, North Carolina, in December of 1906, Cashwell preached the Pentecost experience in the local Holiness church. The leader of the church, Abner Crumpler, though willing to accept speaking in tongues, did not accept the idea that it was the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and eventually left the church. At their annual conference in November of 1908, the body added an article to the statement of faith, recognizing tongues as the initial evidence: We believe the pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:1-4; 8:17; 10:44-46; 19:6). This opened the way for the merger of the Pentecostal Holiness Church with the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church (which was already teaching this third blessing). This merger occurred in January 30, 1911 at the Pentecostal Holiness Church building in Falcon, North Carolina. The Tabernacle Pentecostal Church, churches affiliated with Nickes Holmes' Bible College in Greenville, South Carolina, merged with the Pentecostal Holiness Church in 1915. These congregations had Presbyterian roots and were located mostly in South Carolina. After the mergers, the denomination had about 200 churches with approximately 5000 members.

Since the adoption of the article of faith on the baptism of the Holy Ghost in 1908, the Pentecostal Holiness Church has taught the following beliefs as their five cardinal doctrines: justification by faith, entire sanctification, the baptism in the Holy Spirit evidenced by speaking in tongues, Christ's atonement (including divine healing), and the premillennial second coming of Christ. The church holds water baptism and holy communion (open communion observed quarterly) to be divine ordinances. Though not considered an ordinance, some of the churches also engage in the practice of feet washing.
