THE PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENT IS one of the most rapidly growing religious
movements in the world.1 It is the largest and most important religious
movement that originated in the United States.2 Beginning in 1901 with
a handful of students in a Bible school in Topeka, Kansas, the number
of Pentecostals has increased exponentially through the world. By 1995
they had become the largest family of Protestants in the world.3 This
explosive growth has forced the world to pay increasing attention to
the entire movement.
