Denominations part 14 - The History of Pentecostalism part 2

In Part 2 of our Pentecostalism series, we follow the family tree after Azusa Street. This episode traces the postwar healing revival, Oral Roberts, William Branham, Kathryn Kuhlman, the New Order of the Latter Rain, the Charismatic Movement, the Third Wave, Vineyard, the Toronto Blessing, televangelism, prosperity preaching, Bethel, IHOPKC, and the modern apostolic-prophetic world. This is not a straight line. It is a family tree. Not every Pentecostal is Bethel, not every Charismatic is Word of Faith, and not every branch belongs in the same category. But if we want to understand modern evangelicalism, worship culture, healing ministries, prophetic networks, and the way millions of Christians talk about the Holy Spirit, we have to understand how this movement spread, mutated, and reshaped the modern church.
