Pentecost: This Story is Our Story

In Why I Am a Pentecostal, Robert Menzies lays out clear, compelling, and concise truths about the relevance of the Pentecostal experience for Christ€s followers today, tomorrow, and the day after that. He does not agonize over whether this experience is right or wrong€¦ he says simply that the story of Pentecost found in the book of Acts is the story of every believer. With a keen intellectual presentation that is both informative and intriguing, he explains that Pentecostalism is Christ-centered and Bible-based. It is the model for the mission of the church. Furthermore, he reiterates, €œIt is impossible to understand Pentecostals apart from this basic, fundamental fact.€

By presenting in depth research in a way that is easily accessible, Menzies succeeds in helping readers understand what it means to be a Pentecostal. €œPentecostals,€ he says, €œare people of the book. While they encourage spiritual experience, they do so with a constant eye to Scripture.€ The book provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for Pentecostalism.
