Pentecostal

Pentecostalism is a term used to describe a 20th century Christian movement that emphasizes Spirit-filled worship, including glossolalia or “speaking in tongues,” as is said to have happened on the first day of Pentecost nearly 2000 years ago in Jerusalem. Beginning in the first decade of the 20th century in Los Angeles and Topeka, Kansas, Pentecostalism has become a powerful stream of Christianity, both in the U.S. and worldwide.
