Pentecostalism: Spirit Baptism
built 199 days ago
[B]ecause this is its teaching, this is what Pentecostalism tells its followers to seek. They are really taught not to be content with "ordinary" salvation. "Seek this, pray for this, do all you can to obtain this baptism of the Holy Spirit! Get to the next level of blessing and experience! If you truly want to have it all, go after this!"

The Australian Forum believes that, essentially, O'Connor of Notre Dame is correct in affirming the essentially non-Reformational character of Pentecostalism and its deep affinities with the medieval spirituality of Rome. The forum ... believes that Louis Bouyer is correct, not so much in his optimism concerning "the inevitable return of the separated brethren," but in his aligning of much of revivalistic-type Christianity with the "most authentic elements of the Catholic tradition."
The primary postulate ... gives Pentecostalism its name. Just as on the first Pentecost in Jerusalem there was an extraordinary descent of the Holy Spirit and a marvelous effusion of spiritual gifts, so at different ages in the Church’s history a similar phenomenon occurs.
