The Formative Stage of the Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C) (Nigeria), 1917-1943
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The outbreak of influenza epidemic in Nigeria as from the second decade of the 20th century coupled with the worldwide economic recession within the same period forced the missionary agents of the mainline churches to abandon their mission stations.With their departure to their native countries, Christians in Southern-Western Nigeria became stranded due to lack of spiritual leadership.This scenario forced them to form prayer groups that could assist in their spiritual needs at that critical period in their historical experience.Prominent among the prayer groups was Egbe Okuta Olowo Iyebiye (The Precious Stone Society).The group led by J.S. Sadare of Our Saviour's Anglican Church, Ijebu-Ode became the catalyst for the emergence of Pentecostalism in Nigeria, from 1917-1943.This paper traces the series of stages and events that led to the formation of the Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C). it expounds the impact of the Faith Tabernacle Movement (Philadelphia, USA), the magazines called: Sword of The Spirit and Riches of Grace.It notes the roles of the Apostolic Church (Britain) in shaping the spiritual directions of the progenitors of the C.A.C.The paper which makes use of the descriptive historical method acknowledges the contributions of Apostle Ayo Babalola vis-à-vis the Oke-Oye revival in the events that culminated in the formation of the C.A.C.The paper concludes that the C.A.C. could be regarded as the leadinglight of Pentecostalism in Nigeria.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
