Pentecostalism
Pentecostalism
or
Classical Pentecostalism
is a renewal movement within
Protestant
Christianity
that places special emphasis on a direct personal experience of
God
through the
baptism with the Holy Spirit
. The term
Pentecostal
is derived from
Pentecost
, the
Greek
name for the Jewish
Feast of Weeks
. For Christians, this event commemorates the descent of the
Holy Spirit
upon the followers of
Jesus Christ
, as described in the second chapter of the
Book of Acts
.
