After Simpson's death in 1919, the C&MA distanced itself from Pentecostalism, rejecting the premise that speaking in tongues is a necessary indicator of being filled with the Holy Spirit, and instead focused on the deeper Christian life.

How to Tell Real Tongue Speaking Gift from the Holy Spirit & Fake by A. B. Simpson
May, 1907
While preaching on Daniel, it came to me, like him, to set apart a time for prayer and fasting that God would specially bless the work 1907 entrusted to me and give me a special anointing of the Holy Ghost. I was the more led to do this in view of the approaching Council, May 29, and the special movement of the Holy Spirit abroad today, that God would show His will about it, and give to me all He has for me - and also for the work. After one week of waiting on God I could not stop, but continued two, three, and up to the Council, and indeed with slight interruptions ever since. I noted first a quiet but real quickening in my own soul, and great blessing in the Council. God kept us united, and at the close manifested Himself in some of the meetings in a very unusual way. There were several cases of the Gift of Tongues and other extraordinary manifestations, some of which were certainly genuine, while others appeared to partake somewhat of the individual peculiarities and eccentricities of the subjects; so that I saw not only the working of the Spirit, but also a very distinct human element, not always edifying or profitable. And God led me to discern and hold quietly to the divine order for the gifts of the Spirit in I Cor. 12-14. At the same time I could not question the reality of the gifts, and I was led to pray much about it and for God’s highest will and glory in connection with it.Additional resources on A B Simpson:
