		Pentecostals historically have tended to focus on individual spiritual conversions and experiences rather than on social causes, but as you will hear today, that is beginning to change, especially in the developing world.

	The Pentecostalism Controversy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is clear that the Pentecost experience of the Apostles gave them a supernatural fortitude in the face of dangers and threats, peace in the midst of turmoil, and joy amidst pain and persecution.
		Curiously, Pentecostal literature admits of errors, misunderstandings, mistakes and disorders accompanying the spiritual flights of their enthusiasts — not the least of which is a pronounced anti-hierarchical and anti-Institutional Church bias which permeates the attitudes of adherents, e.g., pro-Pentecostalist Father Robert Wild is constrained to admit:
		Pentecostalism is not a mere movement; it is, as the ending "ism" indicates, an ideology.

	The Gospel According to Oneness Pentecostalism
		Oneness Pentecostals also cannot believe that any non-Oneness Christian is really saved, because they haven't been baptized "correctly." In Oneness thinking, to be baptized "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" is the equivalent of not being baptized at all.
		The modern Oneness movement began at a Pentecostal camp meeting in April 1913 with one man's "revelation" that baptism "in the name of Jesus Christ" (Acts 2:38) was the correct fulfillment of Jesus' command to baptize "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19).
		Oneness Pentecostals see themselves as the only ones who teach the "full truth of God." Other Christians, who may have been truly transformed by the Spirit of God, and love and serve the God of the Bible, are seen as "on the way" to the full truth, but not quite there.

	Harvard Gazette: African-American Pentecostalism can renew nation, says Emory's Robert Franklin
		Among the contributions of the African-American Pentecostal movement Franklin mentioned was its historical influence in "re-Africanizing Black Christianity," thereby challenging conventional mainline fl churches to assert their distinctive African identities.
		Franklin also pointed to the willingness of fl Pentecostals to confront personal and social sin in the nation's toughest urban centers, providing an "in-your-face ministry" that brought "Southern patterns of care and discipline into Northern cities" and provided sites of resistance against the status quo.
		"Pentecostals," he said, "must engage or assist in developing new ecumenical venues" for interfaith dialogue though it will necessarily mean "risking our own comfort zone." Pentecostals must also address the "emergence of an international underclass" brought on by ever-increasing levels of urbanization throughout the world.

	Pentecostalism
		The Pentecostal church of which I had become a member told me that we know tongues are the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit because that is what the historical record in Acts proves.
		The reason I left was because I was deathly tired of the strangeness, superficiality, and instability of the Pentecostal churches.
		The thing that is in my opinion the most unscriptural and, not by coincidence, most responsible for the damaging looniness of Pentecostalism is the notion that tongues usher one into the spiritual realm, the realm one cannot enter until one bypasses the mind and speaks in tongues.
