QUESTION: When did the Pentecostal movement start? Did it start in the USA as some say?
ANSWER: The modern Pentecostal movement had it’s beginning in the USA in the early 1800’s with a man by the name of Charles Finney. That it had it’s beginning more than 1800 years after Christ’s church was established (on Pentecost Day of Acts, chapter two) is clear evidence that (1) it is not the church of the Bible; (2) since people were saved before it’s establishment, it follows that being a Pentecostal is not necessary to salvation; and (3) since salvation is only in the church of the Bible, there can be no salvation in the Pentecostal church! Further, the false teaching that Holy Spirit baptism and the “gifts” are for today are without scriptural support, proving their falsity!
