    Defining Pentecostal Doctrine

    I went from GARBC Baptist to a Pentecostal Holiness church that was in revival. It was easy to experience the things of God in those days. And you could tell the sanctification was something that took root within the heart. I worry these days that the sanctification is no longer emphasized.

    Most churches today only have one service a week. I would challenge them that they are in need of revival.
