What happened on Azusa Street sparked what we know today as the Pentecostal movement. It was built on the Holiness movement which focused on sanctification (being noticeably separated from the habits of the world) and was a repercussion of the Second Great Awakening. On April 9, 1906, the Spirit of God fell and several people begin speaking in tongues. They called it the “second blessing,” or sometimes the “third work of grace”, the first being salvation, and the second, sanctification.

A similar phenomenon is taking place in our world today. In this conversation, we are examining a few key differences.
