Thanks.
Used to be an assumption that Pentecostalism was only a religion of the poor, low IQ, and uneducated etc.
My dissertation research literature review documented research which proved that was quite untrue on all counts.
My parents' families came from the rural southeast...They ranged from dirt poor (preachers) to middle-class (farmers, small business owners), and that was the background of most of their church membership. While I wouldn't say any of them were necessarily uneducated or of a low IQ, they were simple, God-fearing believers. They relied on the spiritual gifts to evangelize and basically help them survive (I could tell you some stories).
