Pentecostal movement

The Pentecostal movement is a branch of Christianity that emphasizes a direct, personal experience of God through the Holy Spirit. It began in the early 20th century, highlighting practices like speaking in tongues, divine healing, and prophetic insights as signs of spiritual blessing. Pentecostals believe that the Holy Spirit actively works in believers' lives today, empowering them for worship, service, and everyday challenges. The movement is diverse, with many churches worldwide, and focuses on passionate worship, revival, and a living faith marked by spiritual gifts.
