I don't know what they are, but I see it too often. I grew up in a very Pentecostal household, so I have a large number of facebook friends, from my younger days, that are still heavily involved in the church.

In my experience, Pentecostalism is more extreme than other denominations. I recall being congregations basically being told, riding by riding, whom they should vote for in various elections- of course this was always determined by their stance on abortion and gay rights. This only scratches the surface of the extremism I experienced.
