Acts 2:1–4: What Pentecost Means

Acts 2:1–4 describes God acting on the day of Pentecost: a sound from the sky, fire-like tongues resting on each person, and the whole gathered company filled with the Spirit and speaking in other languages. A Pentecostal Christian, at root, is someone who takes that outpouring seriously and expects the Spirit to be active in the church today.
