Salah satu ciri unik dari gereja atau insan Pentakostal adalah bagaimana kita memandang dan menjadikan pola kehidupan komunitas orang percaya dalam Kisah Para Rasul sebagai acuan menjalani kehidupan rohani dan sosial kita.
Robert P. Menzies, seorang teolog Pentakosta, memberikan suatu definisi yang komprehensif akan definisi seorang Pentakostal:
- “a Christian who believes that the book of Acts provides a model for contemporary church and, on this basis, encourages every believer to experience a baptism in the spirit (Acts 2:4), understood as an empowering for mission, distinct from regeneration, that is marked by speaking in tongues, and affirms that “signs and wonders,” including all the gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, are to characterize the life of the church today.”[1]
