Some modern writers have suggested that some of its emphasis on direct, ecstatic personal presence of the Holy Spirit bears resemblance to all forms of Pentecostalism. It [Montanism] claimed to be a religion of the Holy Spirit and was marked by ecstatic outbursts which it regarded as the only true form of Christianity,[4] While there may be some similarities between Montanism and modern Pentecostalism, there does not appear to be any historical link between the two, as most Pentecostals claim authenticity based on the New Testament Book of Acts (chapter 2). There is also a similarity to spiritualism.
Cheers!

If the Montanist shoe fits the modern Pentecostal so be it.
I’ll pass! My salvation is secure and I don’t need to jump and holler or say glorygloryglory as fast as I can to convince myself of it.
