The Pentecostal Movement

The Pentecostal Movement is a Christian movement that emphasizes a direct, personal experience of God's presence through the Holy Spirit. Originating in the early 20th century, it teaches that believers can receive spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues, healing, and prophecy, as signs of the Holy Spirit's empowerment. These practices aim to foster a vibrant, experiential faith and a sense of divine guidance. Pentecostalism is diverse, but unity is found in its focus on passionate worship, spiritual gifts, and the belief that the Holy Spirit actively works in believers’ lives today.
