Encounter of The Pentecostal Kind
Duane Bemis
First and foremost I do not want you to get to excited about the word, Pentecost, this word comes from the Old Testament feast found in Exodus 23:16.

About that time I saw a small five-year-old boy dancing in the space between the pews. I was a visitor at this church and in my church kids where not allowed ...
