Holiness-Pentecostal Movement

The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement is a Christian revival movement that emphasizes a personal, direct experience of God, holiness, and the Holy Spirit. It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, rooted in earlier holiness traditions that stressed living a morally pure life. Pentecostalism focuses on the experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit, which often includes speaking in tongues and prophetic gifts. This movement has significantly influenced modern Christianity, fostering vibrant worship, emotional expressions of faith, and a commitment to evangelism, making it one of the fastest-growing segments of Christianity worldwide.
