Is pentecostal a religious affiliation

Answer 1

Christian. Pentecostal has come to describe and identify those believers of Christ who have receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost as described in Acts 2. These believers can again be segregated into further groups such as Trinitarian Pentecostal and Oneness Pentecostal. These two groups hold fundamentally the same general belief, only differing on the way to Baptise and the definition of the Godhead. Oneness Pentecostals are often refered to as Jesus Only Pentecostals due to their strict belief and adherence to Jesus Name Baptism and that the FULLNESS of the Godhead is in Christ Jesus, who is the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. See UPCI, ALJC, PAW etc for further declarations by each.... These Jesus Only Pentecostals refer to themselves as Apostolic because the book of Acts and the Apostles demonstrated Christ's church in operation.
