Pentecostalism is an offshoot of the "holiness movement", which was a revival of the teachings of Wesley on sanctification and perfectionism. The first "pentecostals" had been mostly Methodist preachers. In 1900 a few students in The Bible college of Rev. Pahram in Topeka, KS, received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues, and revival spread to Azusa St. in Los Angeles, CA, pastored by Seymour, a student of Pahram's. Pahram had separated himself from all denominations, and the movement at first had no formal denominal structure, but eventually the work at Azusa St. organized and formed the "Assemblies of God" a Trinitarian Pentecostal church. In 1914 some of the preachers in the Assemblies of God began baptizing converts in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and were put out of the Assemblies of God. They, in turn, formed another denomination called the "Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ."

I don't believe in denominations.
