The beginning of the modern classical Pentecostal movement is important to consider in the context of the general development of the Reformation process in Protestantism and its serious influence on Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Organizationally, the Pentecostal movement grew out of the so-called "holiness movement", which gained momentum in the late nineteenth century in Britain and the United States, and emphasized the importance of charismatic manifestations (or actions of the Holy Spirit) in the lives of churches and every believer. , logically developing a general vector of focus on the return to the early Christian ideal of doctrine and practice of church life, which was a prominent feature of Protestant movements, especially Baptism and Methodism.
The main reason for the incredible explosive rapid spread of the Pentecostal movement was that throughout the history of Christianity, since the time of the apostles, in different countries and in different churches (and in Orthodoxy - including!) To some extent traced such charismatic manifestations, such as visions and supernatural revelations, the phenomenon of speaking in other languages, prophecies and predictions of the future, the ability of non-medical healing of the sick, and others. These phenomena in the Christian world have always been regarded as the action of the gifts (charisma) of the Holy Spirit.
The Pentecostal movement brought these phenomena to the theological basis of the New Testament, declaring them normative for the liturgical practice of any church. Thus, the denominational boundaries were broken before the lightning spread of the universal universal Christian idea in its new reading.
