Its debateable whether or not 'pentecostalism,' in the modern sense, is ever mentioned in the Bible. Of course, the reason they call it 'pentecostalism' is because the first incident took place on the day of pentecost, described in the opening part of the book of Acts.

The first Pentecostal movement began in 1867, so the movement itself is fairly new to the Christian scene. As with any book, many people means many beliefs at what the words mean.
Most Pentecostal beliefs share the idea that certain strange things happen when overcome by the spirit; speaking in tongues being a very common thing. Having been in Pentecostal Church's before it is usually quite humorous to see certain individuals fighting their way through the masses to get to the pew directly in front of the pastor. It is usually from among these 4-5 people that the first caterwauling begins and it often disrupts the service for quite some time before they are ushered out to the back rooms.
According to the Book of Acts, the experience of the Pentecost was shared by all in the large crowd, causing confusion and inspiring fear.
When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. [...] Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? [...] Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?" Acts 2:6-12

Acts 2
" 1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

The practise of water baptism appears in the Bible first with the appearance of John the Baptist. "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism for the remission of sins. And all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins." (Mark 1:4,5)

Pentacostalism as we know it today started in 1906, and is not in the Bible. What they did in the Bible has no similarity to what Pentacostals do today. Try and find a pentacostal that can speak to someone in a language that the have never learned, It just doesn't happen.
