The Pentecostal Church began in 1901 at a Bethel Bible College in Topeka, Kansas, when preacher Charles Fox Parham decided to take a new approach to religion. He felt that the Church needed revival through the Holy Spirit... Through evangelism and Parham's use of faith healing, the number of Pentecostals increased over the years to become one of the largest Protestant denominations in the world. Pentecostal congregation sin Canada are affiliated with one of two international organizations, the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada or the United Pentecostal Church International... Pentecostal theology is derived from earlier British perfectionist and charismatic movements, including the Methodist movement, the Catholic Apostolic movement and Britain's Keswick Higher Life movement. Pentecostal doctrine was particularly influenced by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism who developed the doctorine of the second blessing, or baptism in which the Holy Spirit brings spiritual power and inner cleansing to the recipient. In Pentecostal belief, baptism in the Holy Spirit is evident when a person begins to speak in tongues. 1, record 3, English, - Pentecostal%20Church

L'Église pentecôtiste a vu le jour en 1901, à un collège biblique Béthel à Topeka, au Kansas, lorsque le pasteur Charles Fox Parham a décidé d'adopter une nouvelle approche en matière de religion. Selon lui, l'Église avait besoin d'un renouveau inspiré par le Saint-Esprit [...] Au moyen de l'évangélisation et du fidéisme thérapeutique utilisé par Parham, le nombre de membres a augmenté au cours des années pour faire du pentecôtisme l'une des plus importantes confessions protestantes au monde. Les congrégations pentecôtistes du Canada sont affiliées à l'un des deux organismes internationaux, les Assemblées de la Pentecôte du Canada ou l'Église pentecôtiste unie internationale. [...] La théologie pentecôtiste vient des mouvements britanniques perfectionniste et charismatique, y compris le mouvement méthodiste, le mouvement apostolique catholique et le mouvement britannique de Keswick «Higher Life». La doctrine pentecôtiste a été particulièrement influencée par John Wesley, le fondateur du méthodisme, qui a élaboré la doctrine de la «deuxième bénédiction» ou le baptême par lequel le Saint-Esprit apporte des pouvoirs spirituels à la personne baptisée ainsi qu'une purification intérieure. Selon la croyance pentecôtiste, le baptême dans le Saint-Esprit est évident lorsqu'une personne commence à parler en langues. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%89glise%20pentec%C3%B4tiste
