Pentecostalism
Spirit-baptism religious movement
Pentecostalism is a branch of Protestant Christianity emphasizing direct personal experience of God through baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Adherents believe in spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues, prophecy, and faith healing.
Services tend toward emotional expressiveness—spontaneous prayer, energetic music, and congregational participation.
Pentecostalism has grown rapidly in Latin America and Africa.
The name derives from Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles.
