History in the United States
Pentecostalism or Classical Pentecostalism is a Protestant Christian movement. Pentecostalism emerged in the early 20th century among adherents of the Holiness movement who were energized by revivalism and expectation for the imminent Second Coming of Christ. Comprising over 700 denominations and many independent churches, there is no central authority governing Pentecostalism. However, many denominations are affiliated with the Pentecostal World Fellowship. There are over 279 million Pentecostals worldwide, and the movement is growing in many parts of the world, especially the global South. Source: Wikipedia
