The Pentecostal movement originated from a revival in Topeka, Kansas in 1901 and is characterized by a belief in the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and healing. Pentecostals also place a strong emphasis on personal experience and encounter with the Holy Spirit, and believe in a "second blessing" of the Holy Spirit that can be received after conversion.
The Charismatic movement, on the other hand, is a broader movement that began in the 1960s and includes both Pentecostal and non-Pentecostal Christians who emphasize the importance of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and healing, in their spiritual lives. Charismatic Christians believe that these gifts are not limited to the early Christian church, but are available to all believers today.
Both movements have had a significant impact on Christianity, particularly in the United States and other Western countries, and continue to be an important part of the global Christian community.
