1 in 4 Christians in the world embraces Pentecostalism. By 2025, over 30% of all Christians will be Pentecostal-Charismatics. Some critics scoff Pentecostals as being theologically shallow, and that we are “a mile wide but one-inch thick”. I totally disagree. We embrace the best and soundest of Protestant and Evangelical doctrines–and in much deeper depths–with greater power, experience, illumination, and active obedience, as we live and walk in the Spirit.
The seven distinctives of Classical Pentecostalism are as follows:
(1) Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
(2) Speaking in tongues.
(3) Continuationism.
(4) Worship.
(5) Evangelism and missions.
(6) Arminianism.
(7) Second coming of Christ.
