A fundamental difference between the two Christian groups is that, in the Pentecostal churches, there appears to be a requirement of the visible manifestation of the Holy Spirit, often by "speaking in tongues", or prophesying. The Lutheran church holds to no such need for visible evidence. The Holy Spirit becomes part of a person when that person affirms his/her belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and this affirmation is sealed by Water and the Word, i.e. Baptism. Essentially, Pentecostal churches tend to emphasise the importance of personal and spiritual experiences while the lutheran church emphasises grasping the truths of the Bible, and the promises held within, as the founation of Christianity. These truths remain true and valid regardless of our personal feelings and/or experiences.
