I really don't have a viewpoint on this. Here are the facts as I know them.

The Pentecostal religion was started in the Topeka, Kansas in 1901 by Charles F. Parkham
Assemblies of God, which has similor beliefs, grew out of Pentecostalism in 1914 in Hot Springs, Az.
Another similar group, Four-square Gospel, was started by Aimee Semple McPherson in L.A. in 1917.

That's about all I know of them.

The Montanists in the second century had many similarities to modern Pentecostals.

Yet they also had many differences.

I think Wesley and later the 19th century holiness movenment are the roots Pentecostalism grew from.
