Tent revival

[3] As tent revivals are held outdoors, they have attracted people who after hearing the preaching undergo a conversion experience and join a local Christian church.

[4] With radio and television playing an increasingly important part in American culture, some preachers such as Oral Roberts, a very successful tent revivalist, made the transition to these media.

Other evangelists who have been noted for their continued use of tents in crusades include David Terrell,[5] R.W.

[6] In Methodism (inclusive of the holiness movement), tent revivals occur at various parts of the year, especially in the summer, for preaching the doctrines of the New Birth (first work of grace) and Entire Sanctification (second work of grace).

[7] Among Baptists, preachers at tent revivals focus their sermons on the New Birth with those receiving it undergoing baptism.
