{{see also|List of Christian denominations#Charismatic movement}}While early Pentecostals were often [[marginalized]] within the larger Christian community, Pentecostal beliefs began penetrating the [[mainline Protestant]] denominations from 1960 onward and the [[Catholic Church]] from 1967.<ref name="NIDPCM-CharisMovem">''The New International Dictionary'', "Introduction: The Charismatic Movement".</ref> This adoption of Pentecostal beliefs by those in the historic churches became known as the charismatic movement. Charismatics are defined as Christians who share with Pentecostals an emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit but who remain a part of a mainline church. Also, charismatics are more likely than Pentecostals to believe that [[glossolalia]] is not a necessary evidence of Spirit baptism.<ref name="NIDPCMDifferences2" /> This transition occurred following an increased popularity of use of the gifts of spirit during the [[healing revival]] period of 1946–1958. Massive interdenominational meetings held by the healing revival evangelists, including [[William M. Branham]], [[Oral Roberts]], [[A.A. Allen]] and others, led to increased awareness and acceptance.<ref name="moriarty">{{cite book|last=Moriarty|first=Michael|title=The New Charismatics|publisher=Zondervan|year=1992|isbn=978-0-310-53431-0|pages=118–139}}</ref>

The charismatic movement within the historic Christian churches holds that [[Baptism in the Holy Spirit]] is the "sovereign action of God, which usually occurs when someone with a disposition of surrender and docility, prays for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in his or her life."<ref name="Elwell2001">{{cite book |last1=Elwell |first1=Walter A. |title=Evangelical Dictionary of Theology |date=2001 |publisher=Baker Academic |isbn=978-0-8010-2075-9 |page=220 |language=English |quote=The charismatic movement has affected almost every historic church and has spread to many churches and countries beyond the United States. ... Particular emphases are reflected variously in the charismatic movement. ''Baptism with the Holy Spirit''. There is common recognition of baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinctive Christian experience. It is viewed as an event wherein the believer is "filled with" the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Baptism with the Holy Spirit is understood to result from "the gift of the Holy Spirit," wherein the Spirit is freely "poured out," "falls upon," "comes on," "anoints," "endues" the believer with "power from on high." ... Baptism with the Holy Spirit, accordingly, is not identified with conversion. It is viewed as an experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit that brings about powerful witness to Jesus Christ. Through this Spirit baptism the exalted Christ carries forward his ministry in the church and world.}}</ref><ref name="Cordeiro2017">{{cite web |last1=Cordeiro |first1=Brenton |title=Baptism in the Holy Spirit: Why Every Catholic Should Consider Receiving It |url=https://catholic-link.org/baptism-in-holy-spirit/ |publisher=Catholic Link |access-date=26 May 2021 |language=English |date=29 May 2017 |archive-date=26 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210526034030/https://catholic-link.org/baptism-in-holy-spirit/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Adherents of the Charismatic Movement teach the belief that "baptism in the Holy Spirit unleashes the Holy Spirit that is already present within us, by revitalizing the graces we received in the sacrament of Baptism" and that it "equips and inspires the individual for service, for mission, for discipleship and for life."<ref name="Elwell2001"/><ref name="CCR2021">{{cite web |title=Baptism in the Holy Spirit |url=http://www.ccr.org.uk/about-ccr/about/baptism-in-the-holy-spirit/ |publisher=[[Catholic Charismatic Renewal]] |access-date=26 May 2021 |language=English |archive-date=26 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210526035145/http://www.ccr.org.uk/about-ccr/about/baptism-in-the-holy-spirit/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Cordeiro2017"/> Rev.
