Paradigm Shift

Tonight, as I was reading a chapter out of "Empowered Evangelicals" by Rich Nathan and Ken Wilson, this thought popped into my head - Can one call him or herself a Pentecostal without holding to the belief that speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? If not, I am suddenly finding myself in an overwhelming identity crisis, for I have always considered myself to be a Pentecostal.

There's nothing quite like the alarming jolt of a paradigm shift...
