This is that Volume Two: When Pentecost Broke Out Again and the Modern Pentecostal Movement Was Born

What if the book of Acts was never meant to describe a Christianity that disappeared?At the beginning of the twentieth century, ordinary believers opened Acts and began asking a question that would help reshape Christianity around the world: What if this is still for us?This Is That traces the remarkable story of the modern Pentecostal awakening from the small Bible school in Topeka to Agnes Ozman, William Seymour, Bonnie Brae Street, the Azusa Street Revival, and the spread of Pentecostal experience across the nations.But this is more than revival history.These believers rediscovered a Christianity in which the Holy Spirit was not merely a doctrine to believe but a living Presence to experience. They expected the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, divine healing, spiritual gifts, supernatural guidance, Spirit-led prayer, and power to witness.Along the way, you will discover: - Why believers began looking again at the supernatural experiences recorded in Acts- What happened at Topeka and Azusa Street- How ordinary men and women became participants in Spirit-filled ministry- Why prayer and hunger were so central to the Pentecostal awakening- How healing, spiritual gifts, missions, holiness, and joy became part of the movement- Why biblical discernment must accompany supernatural expectation- How Pentecost moved beyond meetings into everyday fellowship with the Holy SpiritThe pioneers were imperfect people, and their movement was not without mistakes. Yet beneath their story was a powerful conviction: The Holy Spirit had never ceased being the Holy Spirit.On the Day of Pentecost, Peter looked at what was happening and declared, "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel" (Acts 2:16).The promise did not belong only to the apostles. About 120 believers had gathered, including women, and when Pentecost came, "they were all filled with the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2:4).Their story raises the question again for our generation.Are we merely preserving the history of Pentecost, or do we still expect the Holy Spirit to move?The promise has not expired.This is still that.
