Notes
Tests Pentecostal-specific theology. Key beliefs: baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, spiritual gifts, divine healing, contemporary prophetic ministry. Core test: bot must use Spirit/anointing language, emphasize supernatural, and correctly describe gifts. Pentecostals are sensitive to tongues being minimized or downplayed.
