I believe that, under the right circumstances, virtually anyone can be sucked into Pentecostalism. I don't care how much education a person has, how sophisticated he or she may be, or how high the IQ - wear them down emotionally or physically through a series of negative events in their lives, separate them from the people, places and things that they love, mix in a liberal dosage of unrelieved pain - either physical, emotional of both - and you have a prime candidate for a Pentecostal or Charismatic emotional catharsis. That event can feel like a cold mountain stream on the parched lips of someone dying in the desert, and like all such pivotal moments, can start someone on a journey that may take years to complete.
