Abstract

The coming third millennium of the church is likely to find the majority of its adherents living in the two-thirds world in the Southern Hemisphere and practicing a Pentecostal spirituality. Pentecostal missionizing efforts reflect a spirituality that is characterized by (1) a high value placed on religious experience; (2) a preference for oral communication; (3) spontaneity in personal conduct as well as in corporate worship; (4) otherworldliness as the root of cultural pessimisim, ecclesiastical separateness, belief in spirits and demons, and the eschatological urgency of the return of Christ; and (5) biiblical authority, often expressed in a hermeneutic of biblical precedent. In the final analysis, Pentecostal spirituality is a lifestyle no longer limited to the Pentecostal churches.
