Pentecostalism

Most Pentecostals are taught or teach that the history of the Holy Spirit expressed among the Pentecostal tradition began with Charles Parham in Topeka, Kansas and/or at the Azusa revival led by William J. Seymour. However, Pentecostalism itself was actually not without a history before the "breakthrough" in Topeka and the Azusa explosion, but regardless, these two events have become the most glamorous conventions for telling the story.
