A Christian denomination founded in 1901 on Asuza Street in Los Angeles, California. During a time when racism had made its way through Christian denominations and split the faith by skin color, people of all different ethnicities became entangled in love with the birth of the Pentecostal Movement. Particularly different from other denominations, Pentecostals believe that miracles, signs, and "gifts of the Spirit" are still operational in modern society. The gift that occurs most frequently in Pentecostal churches is glossalalia, also known as "speaking in tongues." Most often manifests itself, not in speaking other human languages, but in speaking in the tongues of angels (1 Corinthians 14:2, 1 Corinthians 13). Pentecostalism is the fastest growing Christian denomination in the world by conversion and arguably makes Christianity the fastest growing religion. (Islam is the fastest growing religion by birth, but Christianity is the fastest growing by converts.) There are many different groups within Pentecostalism itself: some which believe in the Trinity, others which deny it and believe in the Oneness of God; some which baptize solely in Jesus' Name (Acts 2:38), and others which baptize in "the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"; some with very strong standards for women (i.e., not cutting their hair or wearing pants), and others with only standards of modesty. It should be noted that the Charismatic Movement was birth out of the Pentecostal Movement. While all Charismatics are (consequently) Pentecostals, all Pentecostals are not Charismatics. Popular televangelists like Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Creflo Dollar are Charismatics who are teachers in the "Word of Faith Movement." They are not classical Pentecostals. Urban Dictionary

Pentecostals believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. they believe in the manifestation of the Holy Ghost through speaking in tongues(but not required to be saved). Salvation is through accepting Jesus Christ. Your life should reflect your relationship to Christ, but "Good Deeds",wearing long skirts and not wearing make-up DOES NOT make you saved and is according to your own conviction.Pentecostals are not isolated from other denominations but agree on a common ground that they are saved through Jeus Christ only, and are separated only by different ephasis. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast" -Ephesians 2:8,9 Urban Dictionary

Is not a cult is a religion that belives jesus is the messiah believe in the power of anointing oil and believe in speaking in tongues they dont think you will burn in hell if you wear make up or short skirts they only think you should be modest the dont think not wearing makeup makes you an awsome person they could really care less what you dress like and they believe prophets and phrophetess are still out there and get messages from god = Urban Dictionary

A 'Christian' religious sect that meets all neccessary criteria for a cult (though that applies to a number of christian sects). This particular sect of mental patients beleive that females will burn in hell for a cutting their hair, wearing makeup, piercing their ears, or any other destructive, vain activities. All pentecostals are raised to beleive that any non-pentecostal will burn in hell for eternity, as will any pentecostal who has ever drank, smoked, said 'gosh', or missed church. This high level of logical thinking goes a long way in explaining why most pentecostals live in trailer parks and eat fried Spam for dinner (after, of course, they pray). Urban Dictionary

A historical day in the Roman Church Calendar and also for the World. The "Day of Pentecost", referenced in the Holy Bible in the book of Acts, Chapter 2, verses 1-4, is to all true Christians, the exact moment when man and the Holy Spirit of God became intertwined. Pentecost Sunday is celebrated every year by "Spirit-filled" believers throughout the world and has become a huge part of the "Charismatic" Christian belief-system, as well as a specific day of celebration in the Catholic community. Acts 2:1-4 (King James Version) Acts 2 1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Urban Dictionary

One God Apostolic Tongue Talking Church of the Living God. Not a cult.!!. Just b/c women want to present themselves like a real lady, they get called a cult. Urban Dictionary

Pentecostals believe in One God and have many standards. There are rumors that it is a "cult". It is not and they do not believe that because a person cuts their hair or wears pants or make up that they will go to hell. They believe everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit will presumably go to Heaven. Pentecostals welcome anyone and everyone. Also God is the only one who can judge for He has no sins. Only a person with no sin may judge others. Urban Dictionary

1. A (Proper Noun) A Charismatic sect of Conservative Christianity that places Jesus Christ as man's only means of deliverance from the slavery of sin, and that spiritual gifts to Prophecy, Heal, Discern Spiritually, Speak in Other Tongues; and other attributes such as creativity, charity, and compassion are open to all believers who are in Christ. A genuine follower demonstrates through continual actions the prinicples of the above faith through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. They have a history of abiding close to moral dogmas that have proven empirically, emotionally, and extraordinarily concrete in Christian Doctrine as revealed in the Belief of Infallibility (inerrancy) of Scripture in the original tongues. Urban Dictionary

They claim to allow anyone into their church, but they shun or ignore people who do not share their cult beliefs, force women into uniforms, force men to shave or look "god worthy" they home school their children, whom they ignore unless its flop on the ground for god time, and wear skirts and no makeup because they are unworthy of life outside their self abusing religion. It claims the funds and lives of hard working men to fund lazy non working wives who waste money on antiques and the newest home products.....avoid at all costs, execute when legal. Urban Dictionary

A once borderline cult within Christianity that has made its way into the suburban middle-class mainstream. Their doctrine of salvation is rather contradictory, unlike the Baptists, because they believe in accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior AND living righteously to get into heaven., rather than salvation by grace alone.
