Pentecostalism

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Pentecostalism has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Behind the Bastards (Oct 2025). A branch of Christianity that David E. Taylor was involved in, known for its charismatic practices.

Pentecostalism, also known as classical Pentecostalism, is a movement within the evangelical wing of Protestant Christianity that emphasizes direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit. The term Pentecostal is derived from Pentecost, an event that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles.
