Back when I studied Linguistics, I read a little about adjective order. 'Black large car' sounds weird to native speakers, but 'large black car' sounds better. I forget how they argued what the innate grammatical rule was, but I think this is something similar. Maybe the author used 'Pentecostal Christian denomination' because it just feels better to add 'Pentecostal' to the concept of 'Christian denomination' than the word order you suggest. You are assuming that being mentioned first makes 'Christian' appear more important. Also, the idea of being a 'Pentecostal Christian' makes more sense than being a 'Christian Pentecostal' because the latter might be taken to imply that there are Pentecostals who are not Christian.What I think of is the fact that I Corinthians teaches against divisions

I accept that as ya'll's opinion, and here on ACTS, you certainly are welcome to have an opinion. However, we differ on this one. My thinking is that without Christ there are no Pentecostals. Nothing precedes or supersedes Christ. Anything else we experience, regardless how wonderful or special to us, comes as a result of His preeminence in our life.Doyl
