I couldn't tell you. I've never attended any pentecostal church regularly though I went with my former wife to a single service to hear a friend of hers sing or something like that. I don't know what denomination it was, but the congregation was predominantly African American, one gentleman was bouncing around a bit during the service speaking "tongues", and they had a time for sharing testimony.Do people usually carry a Bible to those sermons where people "get in the spirit", and fall down, or those faith healing tele-evangelist sessions? I don't usually see that, but I personally know of many services where many people flood there without a Bible, and do quite a lot of singing, and listen to the pastor say "the Bible says" even though he never opens a Bible.
I was a little uncomfortable at first because this wasn't my normal experience and my wife and I were the only Caucasian faces, but I was moved to speak and greeted with Amens and affirmations of the Spirit, so accepted it for what it was. I didn't notice if anyone was carrying Bibles, but His Spirit was evident.
