Final answer:

The Pentecostal Fellowship of North America was established as a result of Assemblies of God membership in the National Association of Evangelicals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The organization established as a result of Assemblies of God membership in the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) was a) The Pentecostal Fellowship of North America. The Assemblies of God, experiencing significant growth and influence during a period of religious fervor, were part of a broader evangelical movement within the United States which included the formation and expansion of various associations and organizations that aimed to promote and consolidate evangelical Christian values.

The formation of such organizations was often a result of the desire to foster unity and cooperative action among different evangelical denominations, while maintaining some doctrinal distinctiveness, characteristic of the Pentecostal movement, linked with the Assemblies of God. Multiple religious associations such as the Virginia Baptist State Convention and the Consolidated American Baptist Missionary Convention exemplify the broader trend of forming national associations to support and strengthen religious communities across the nation.

Additionally, this trend of association and fellowship was echoed in the surge of membership among various denominations, ensuing from intense periods of religious revival and revivalism, paralleled by the rise of influential religious media through televangelists.
