'''Pentecostalism''' is a spiritual [[Christian]] revivalist movement that began within  [[Protestantism]] and was also accepted by the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in the [[Second Vatican Council]]. Pentecostalism is generally not regarded as Protestant, however. The movement consists of a focus on the outpouring of the [[Holy Spirit]] on the [[Apostles]] as described in the [[Acts (of the Apostles)|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 [[speaking in tongues|tongues]].

Supporters of the movement cite as an obstacle to participation a distrust or diffidence towards the [[Holy Spirit]]'s ability to achieve today what was accomplished in the first century A.D. Like [[Methodism|Methodists]], Pentecostals emphisize the neccesity of revival in the church. Their theology is strongly influenced by [[Arminianism]].
