Extractions: Christian ecumenism The Pentecostal movement within protestant Christianity places special emphasis on the gifts of the Holy Spirit . Pentecostalism is similar to the Charismatic movement, but developed earlier and separated from the mainstream church. Charismatic Christians, at least in the early days of the movement, tended to remain in their respective denominations. edit Theologically, most Pentecostal denominations are aligned with Evangelicalism in that they emphasize the reliability of the Bible and the need for conversion to faith in Jesus . Most Pentecostals also adhere to the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy . Pentecostals differ from Fundamentalists by placing more emphasis on personal spiritual experience and, in most cases, by allowing women in ministry.

http://www.bible.ca/cr-PAOC.htm

Extractions: The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada stands firmly in the mainstream of historical Christianity. It takes the Bible as its all-sufficient source of faith and practice, and subscribes to the historic creeds of the universal church. In common with historical, evangelical Christianity, it emphasizes Christ as Saviour and coming King. It also presents Christ as Healer and it adopts the distinctive position that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence when Christ baptizes in the Holy Sprit (See Section VI. 3). All scripture is given by inspiration of God 2 Tim. 3:16,17 by which we understand the whole Bible to be inspired in the sense that holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. 2 Pet. 1:20,21 Divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the original writings. The whole Bible in the original is, therefore, without error and, as such, is infallible, absolutely supreme and sufficient in authority in all matters of faith and practice. Psa. 119: 160a; Matt. 5:17,18 The Bible does not simply contain the Word of God, but is, in reality, the complete revelation and very Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. Christian believers today receive spiritual illumination to enable them to understand the Scriptures, 1 Cor. 2:12-14 but God does not grant new revelations which are contrary or additional to inspired biblical truth. Prov. 30:5,6

Extractions: None of the Old Testament prophets, looking into the future, gave utterance to a prediction of greater consequence and impact than Joel when he said, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit" (Joel 2:28,29) God has always been sensitive to the passionate longing in human hearts for some truly satisfying experience in life. "If any man thirst," Jesus invited, "let him come unto me and drink." This He said in reference to the receiving of the Holy Spirit. Outpourings of the Spirit have occurred at intervals across the entire two millenniums since the initial effusion at Pentecost. Church historians relate this, but such outpourings were generally limited to a restricted local or regional area. The nineteenth century ended in an atmosphere of spiritual contrasts; the rise and spread of rationalistic philosophies on the one hand, and a rising crescendo of prayer to God for His power to be out poured upon devout and concerned Christians on the other. Reports from those days indicate that God did answer in a number of instances by pouring out His Holy Spirit upon believers. This was accompanied by supernatural phenomena, including speaking in tongues. So far as we can learn, the recipients regarded such utterance of primary importance.

Table of Contents Description 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. He began instructing his students to pray, fast and read the Scriptures. One of his students was the first to speak in tongues, signifying that she had been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Through evangelism and Parhams use of faith healing, the number of Pentecostals increased over the years to become one of the largest Protestant denominations in the world. Pentecostal congregations in Canada are affiliated with one of two international organizations, the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada or the United Pentecostal Church International. The charter of the former is dated 1919. The latter traces its organizational roots to 1916. Pentecostal theology is derived from earlier British perfectionist and charismatic movements, including the Methodist movement, the Catholic Apostolic movement and Britains Keswick Higher Life movement. Pentecostal doctrine was particularly influenced by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, who developed the doctrine 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.

Extractions: Adherents.com presents: The religious fellowship known as the Assemblies of God is the principle organized heir to the Pentecostal movement. Modern Pentecostalism began in Topeka, Kansas, in January 1901, and soon spread to Los Angeles and other parts of the United States. Participants of the early Pentecostal movement were usually not welcomed back into their churches and they formed separate, independent congregations throughout the country. Despite their sincerity, Pentecostalists were frequently derided as heretical and non-Christian by ministers of older Protestant denominations. In 1913 a Pentecostal publication, the Word and Witness , called for the various Pentecostal churches to band together for fellowship, doctrinal unity, and to share resources for missionary work, religious training, etc. A national meeting of representatives from independent Pentecostal churches was held in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in April 1914, at which the name "Assemblies of God" was adopted. In this meeting, a somewhat loose organizational structure was conceived in which most aspects of church life are controlled by the local church, yet many key doctrines and practices are standardized throughout the fellowship. (For example, all assemblies are required to adhere to the "Statement of Fundamental Truths" Most of the earlier anti-Pentecostal fervor died down in the latter half of the 1900s, as Pentecostal Christians grew in numbers and gained respect for the strength of their movement, and as certain elements of the movement were integrated into some older churches.

Cashwell returned from Azusa Street to greatly influence the Church of God, Pentecostal Holiness Church and the forerunners of the Assemblies of God. In 1907, he founded The Bridegrooms Messenger, now considered the oldest Pentecostal periodical in the world. Through The Bridegrooms Messenger, Cashwell became known as the apostle of Pentecost in the South. A church was started in 1907 by Paul and Hattie Barth. In 1918, the Barths, then editors of The Bridegrooms Messenger, began Beulah Heights Bible School and in 1921 they organized as an association, later called the International Pentecostal Assemblies. On August 25, 1936 the Association of Pentecostal Assemblies and the International Pentecostal Church met in joint council meeting at the Radio Church, Lombard and Park Streets in Baltimore, Maryland. The action of the joint council resulted in the formation of the International Pentecostal Assemblies. John W. Pitcher of Baltimore, Maryland was elected as the first chairman. The Bridegrooms Messenger is now considered the oldest Pentecostal Magazine in the world and was once the adopted magazine of both the Church of God and the Pentecostal Holiness Church. The International Pentecostal Assemblies continued to publish and circulate The Bridegrooms Messenger, operate the Bible school in Atlanta, Georgia, engage in extensive missionary work abroad and oversee its stateside churches until August 10, 1976.

http://www.oru.edu/university/library/holyspirit/pentorg1.html

Extractions: Introduction 19th Century Holiness Movement Origins of Pentecostalism American Pentecostal Pioneers ... Neo-Pentecostals and Charismatics Although the Pentecostal movement had its beginnings in the United States, it owed much of its basic theology to earlier British perfectionistic and charismatic movements. At least three of these, the Methodist/Holiness movement, the Catholic Apostolic movement of Edward Irving, and the British Keswick "Higher Life" movement prepared the way for what appeared to be a spontaneous outpouring of the Holy Spirit in America. In the following century, Edward Irving and his friends in London suggested the possibility of a restoration of the charisms in the modern church. A popular Presbyterian pastor in London, Irving led the first attempt at "charismatic renewal" in his Regents Square Presbyterian Church in 1831. Although tongues and prophecies were experienced in his church, Irving was not successful in his quest for a restoration of New Testament Christianity. In the end, the "Catholic Apostolic Church " which was founded by his followers, attempted to restore the "five-fold ministries" (of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) in addition to the charisms. While his movement failed in England, Irving did succeed in pointing to glossolalia as the "standing sign" of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, a major facet in the future theology of the Pentecostals.

Philip Hogan, executive director of the Division of Foreign Missions, the Assemblies of God, USA, invited general superintendents from 40 nations to gather in Springfield, Missouri, USA. They discussed the possibility of active cooperation in world evangelism with a special focus on the harvest decade for the 1990s. A Provisional Committee composed of Assemblies of God representatives from each continent was chosen to propose means for implementing a worldwide Fellowship. The delegates at this Decade of Harvest Conference unanimously adopted and signed the document, the "Declaration of a Decade of Harvest." In August 1989, the International Decade of Harvest Conference convened at Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Upon the recommendation of the Provisional Committee, the delegates adopted the documents known as the "World Pentecostal Assemblies of God Fellowship Constitution and Bylaws." Dr. Hogan was elected the first chairman of the Fellowship and served until 1992. Dr. David Yonggi Cho was elected chairman in 1992 and is the current chairman. In 1993, the name of the Fellowship was changed to World Assemblies of God Fellowship.

Extractions: FOUNDER The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) was formed in 1919 in response to a revival of the ministry of the Holy Spirit that spread across Canada. At this time twenty new congregations formed in the nucleus of the movement. Pentecostalism arose from Holiness roots, but embraced a distinctive doctrine that the spirit's fullness is physically manifested by speaking in a new, spirit given language. The Biblical basis for this teaching is taken from a number of texts primarily found in Acts chapter 2, 8, 10 and 19, but also includes Old Testament prophecies such as Joel 2:28ff. Other New testament references include I Corinthians 12-14 and Ep0hesians 5:18ff. Thus, the founder of the PAOC is the Spirit of God himself and the church seeks to follow New Testament teaching in a very devout and persona way. NATURE OF RELIGION Monotheistic, Christian Pentecostals look upon the word "religion" with some contempt. We prefer to speak of "relationship". Thus, "spirituality" more accurately describes how we see ourselves as opposed to "a religion".
