Durham's greatest accolade is the enduring influence of his theological work. The Finished Work doctrine, which he championed starting in 1910, became a defining position for a significant segment of Pentecostalism. His North Avenue Mission nurtured a generation of leaders, and his writings continue to be studied by historians of the movement. Though he received no formal honours, his impact on Pentecostal theology is widely acknowledged.
