Pentecostal
Pentecostalism emerged from the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 and is defined by its emphasis on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues, and the continuation of spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, miracles). It is one of the fastest-growing Christian movements worldwide. Major bodies include the Assemblies of God, Church of God in Christ, and many independent congregations.
