In 1923, a young school teacher from Mulakuzha, K. E. Abraham, experienced the in filling of the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. His contemporaries P.M. Samuel (Keekozhoor), K.C. Cherian (Kidanganoor), P.T. Chacko, K.C. Oommen (Kodumthara), P T Mathew, V.V Thomas, T.K Mathew, and a few others received the same experience in different prayer fellowships.

The Chief architect of IPC was Pastor K.E. Abraham, who broke from the Jacobites tradition over theological differences and turned to be a charismatic speaker and writer K.E. Abraham and  likeminded co-workers formed a Pentecostal fellowship and started calling their churches as South India Pentecostal Church of God. Later as the churches began to grow in other states of India, it was renamed as the Indian Pentecostal Church of God in 1935. Pastor P M Samuel became the first President of Indian Pentecostal Church of God (IPC) in 1935.
