The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) split from the Assemblies of God (AG) in 1914 due to theological differences, particularly regarding the doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. COGIC adherents believed in the necessity of speaking in tongues as evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit, while AG did not require this as a sign of baptism. This theological discrepancy led to the formation of COGIC as a separate denomination emphasizing Pentecostal practices.
There are more than 200 ecclesiastical jurisdictions (dioceses) in the Church of God in Christ (COGIC). There are more than 170 domestic jurisdictions within the United States and at least 35 foreign jurisdictions. In addition to being located in every state in the Union, COGIC churches are found in more than 57 countries around the world. Each jurisdiction is under the direct administration of a bishop. Most jurisdictions are further divided into districts which are comprised of local COGIC congregations. There are more than 15,000 COGIC congregations around the world.

The Christian religious branch that split from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century was Protestantism. This split was initiated by Martin Luther and led to the Reformation movement, which resulted in the formation of various Protestant denominations.
The forms of worship between the Apostolic and COGIC are similar. The Apostolics believe in baptism in the name of Jesus only (not Father, Son, Holy Ghost like COGIC), and believe the evidence of infilling of the Holy Ghost is only by speaking in tongues (different than COGIC).
