Are they really big on freeing demons from people through exorcism at their church and speaking in tongues?

yes, my grandparents are penticostal holiness and their sermons are very lively. people sing and dance and talk in tongue and the preacher tries to talk demons out of people. i wouldn't say it was an exorcism, because that is done by the catholic church...it's more of a chant or mantra.

Yes, Pentecostals believe in exorcism and speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is a gift and cannot be taught. It is a coherent language that can be clearly interpreted by the hearers. There is also the tongue of angels that is explicitly between the speaker and God. 1st Corinthians tells you it should be done decently and in order! ..See the biblical accounts of Acts Chapter two for speaking in tongues and 1st Corinthians 13. Exorcism Act 19:1-41. Those conducting an exorcism should be from God! It is a serious task and everybody is not equipped for it.

They are big in living a power filled spirit filled life. The walk of salvation is not easy, we are dressed as soldiers, fighting against principalities and demons.
Christianity is a spiritual walk, that is why I see it so sad that so many fight on here with people. That isn't who we are at war with.
This is what you are asking about, I believe..
Eph 6:12-18
2 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
NIV

I went to one for a while with my wife, It was strange to hear all the talking in tongues, I would have loved for the spirit to have come over me but I am not going to babble gibberish just to show others that I have faith. I believe it is all possible but have never had a personal experience with it.

They're big on being loud, boisterous, irreverent, and clamorous. They're big on faith healers and faith healing. They're big on demons and demon possession. They're big on collections and fund raising. But mostly they're really big....really big on what they call tongue speaking. Don't criticize their so called prayer language, or they'll be on you like stink on a skunk.

Yep, one of the reasons they are called Holy Rollers.

Get the movie, "Cape Fear." the last couple of scenes are terribly accurate as to their beliefs and practices. YBIC
