The book of ACTS when 3000 where filled with Holy Spirit, and each spoke in tongues, STILL AVAILABLE TO REAL CHRISTIANS.
However some are CINOs, Christians in name only...not really believers in Holy Spirit and his power.
In 1967 the second large group of infilling of the Holy Spirit was in NOTRE DAME University conference...3000 (note the number) were Baptised in Holy Ghost (Spirit)..it was the beginning of that second great awakening and impacted America for more than twenty years, in fact some are still being impacted.
I believe a third wave is coming to those who aren’t HERETICS and have open hearts. The Catholic Charismatic movement hit the Protestant churches and there were MILLIONS who are now part of that movement.
Around 1900 in San Francisco there was the first movement at a meeting where AMY MCPHERSON was ministering and that was the beginning of the Charismatic movement for the Pentecostals in America.
PENTECOST...REMEMBER THE BOOK OF ACTS.
The Holy Spirit is the third part of the trinity, and if you read the Bible you will find JESUS SAID that he had to go the Father so that the COMFORTER (Holy Spirit) could come. WEll just what part of that don’t you get?
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

Let's not make stuff up...We all know you do not have scripture to back that up...
Okay so you quoted my comment from the Notre Dame 1967 comment....where 3000 were filled with the Holy Spirit, just as the 120 had in the Upper Room.
Referring to the Book Of Acts is about what happened, and if I missed a comma? noting that it was the same experience in ACTS..my apologies.
SO LET ME BE CLEAR for all my posts:
Book of ACTS:
1. 120 were Baptized in Holy Spirit w/ speaking in tongues in Upper Room.
2. 3000 were added to the Church on Day of Pentecost, but not in the Upper Room.
Notre Dame 1967:
3000 were Baptized in Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues while on Campus of Notre Dame.
Sometimes my mind goes faster than I can type, so I skipped the number 120 and got to the number 3000 added to the church without clear clarification. My apologies
OKAY, THAT CONFUSION OF THE 3000 NUMBER SHOULD BE CLEAR TO ALL NOW....
However, my mistake does not contradict nor negate the fact, that the Holy Spirit and the infilling is a real Christian experience, if desired. And the Pope was wise to acknowledge the Pentecostals. In fact, the Charismatic movement in the Catholic Church is alive and well...Thank God!
