The first church I remember using this was "the Pentecostals of Alexandria"...pastored by Anthony Mangun.
It seemed that it became popular in the Apostolic movement after that...
The church in Alexandria was well established when they started calling themselves by this name...interesting enough is that the "real" name of the curch is First UPC....so "The Pentecostals..." is like thier nickname.
