So are you saying that Calvary Chapel is in essence the same as Pentecostals?

Calvary Chapel believes in the perpetuity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. However, there is not the emphasis on those gifts at Calvary Chapel that you would see in a Pentecostal Church.

Personally, I have not seen a public display of tongues in a Calvary Chapel service for probably 20 years. It is neither encouraged nor discouraged and AFAIK, each Calvary Chapel is free to determine the emphasis which they place upon those gifts.

Does that help?
