The Pentecost is approximately 50 days after Easter. In the Bible a miracle happened at that time that included the Apostles becoming so filled with the Spirit that many people from many lands were able to understand the message that was being given.
Some attribute the miracle to a speaking in "tongues" while others attribute it to a miracle of hearing.
Many denominations seek the blessing of glossolalia or speaking in tongues as evidence of a second blessing.
Yes they do.
The Pentecostal belief of the baptism of the Holy Ghost is speaking in tongues as the spirit of God gives the utterance.
The movement is called Pentecostal because it is rooted in the events of Pentecost, as described in the New Testament book of Acts, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, empowering them to speak in tongues and spread the gospel. This experience of spiritual empowerment and the belief in the ongoing presence and work of the Holy Spirit are central to Pentecostal theology and practice. The term reflects the emphasis on personal experience of God, particularly through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which is a hallmark of Pentecostal worship and belief.

Pentecostal is Christian.
There are sects considered to be pentecostal that are not orthodox due to the fact of their doctrine about God. The orthodox view of God is that of absolute uniqueness, or 'the only true God' and that God is triune, or is three persons simultaneously. The sect called United Pentecostal Church denies that doctrine. The Assemblies of God sect affirms a belief in the triunity of God.
Generally speaking, Episcopalians are not Pentecostal.
