Pentecostalism is a spiritual Christian revivalist movement that began with Protestants and was also accepted by the Roman Catholic Church in the [[Second Vatican Council]].  The movement consists of a focus on the outpouring of the [[Holy Spirit]] on the [[Apostles]] as described in the [[Acts of the Apostles]] and embrace that same spirituality on a weekly or daily basis today.  In sum, Pentecostalism consists of becoming a messenger for the [[Holy Spirit]] in modern times.  Adherents seek gifts of prophecy and healing, and sometimes speak in different or unrecognized tongues.
