Too bad ole' Noah only had eight folks in his congregation. He musta had 'dead church'. Probably too much of that mean old repentance preaching turned folks off.
I am Pentecostal to my core, mister, the real, old fashioned, apostolic, tongue-talking, singing, shouting, holiness believing, sin hating, evangelistic kind of Pentecostal that has something far beyond a cranked up emotional high once week when the racket is just right! And, I don't think you would know real Pentecost anymore, not even if it bit you in the hinder parts.

Acts 2:37-47
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people.
And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
This sounds pentecostal to me!
