Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Pentecostal Assemblies of the World - History

Its origin can be traced to the Azusa Street Revival (1906-1909) under the leadership of William Joseph Seymour. During this time it was a loose fellowship of churches that were united by the infilling of the believer with the Holy Ghost, and holiness. Some would later refer to this experience as "the latter rain". For the next few years, the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World focused upon general meetings and the development of its organizational structure. The late Bishop Morris E. Golder wrote: "The original organization bearing t ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Pentecostal Mission - Distinguishing features

Several distinguishing features are to be noted. Fulltime CPM workers were expected to practice an ascetic life-style including celibacy, obedience to the chief pastor, communal living (including disposal of private possessions) in faith homes, corporate prayers beginning at 4.00 a.m., and the wearing of white dress as a biblical principle. From the beginning, indigenous forms of worship were incorporated. Worshippers were seated on mats on the floor. Domestic musical instruments for worship, singing of indigeno ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Christian theological controversy - Present-day distinctions

Most present day controversy revolves around the Pentecostal/Charismatic movements, largely a product of the 20th century. Conservative Evangelical/Reformed theology typically teaches that the charismata, or "sign gifts" of the Holy Spirit, were only given to the early church, and died out permanently after that. These views are in opposition to many Pentecostal denominations and churches that are a growing feature of modern Christianity, as well as to charismatic movements in mainline Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic C ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - United Pentecostal Church - History

When the Assemblies of God formally adopted the doctrine of the Trinity at its Fourth General Council in October 1916, the Oneness Pentecostals chose to withdraw from the organization. Two months later, in late December and early January, Oneness ministers met in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and on January 2, 1917, they formed a Oneness Pentecostal organization called The General Assembly of the Apostolic Assemblies. In late 1917 or early 1918 The General Assemblies of the Apostolic Assemblies merged with the Pentecostal Assemblies of th ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Charismatic authority - Characteristics

Charismatic authority is 'power legitimized on the basis of a leader's exceptional personal qualities or the demonstration of extraordinary insight and accomplishment, which inspire loyalty and obedience from followers' [1]. As such, it rests almost entirely on the leader; the absence of that leader for any reason can lead to the authority's power dissolving. Weber defined charisma as "a certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of w ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Charismatic authority - Characteristics

In his writings about charismatic authority, Weber applies the term charisma to "a certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of which he is set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities. These are such as are not accessible to the ordinary person, but are regarded as of divine origin or as exemplary, and on the basis of them the individual concerned is treated as a leader [...] How the quality in question would be ultimately judged from ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Catholic Charismatic Renewal - Reaction from the Church hierarchy

Reaction to the movement by the church hierarchy has been wildly mixed. Some had initially supported it as being a harbinger of ecumenism (a unity among the religions). It was thought that these practices would draw the Catholic and Protestant churches together. This support has been tempered however more recently, as it is thought that fundamentalist tendencies amongst the charismatics would eventually hurt the cause of ecumenism between Catholics and non-Catholics. In the United States, the decline of church attendance among Catholi ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - United Pentecostal Church - UPCI Doctrinal Beliefs

Most of the UPCI's doctrinal views are reflective of the Holiness-Pentecostal movement, with the exception of the "second work of grace," the historic doctrine of the Trinity, and the traditional Trinitarian formula in water baptism, instead choosing to adhere to a strict literal interpretation of the baptismal accounts in the book of the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible which were recorded as having been performed "in the name of Jesus Christ," "in the name of the Lord Jesus," or "in the name of the Lord." The UPCI teaching interprets Jesu ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Glossolalia - Christian view of speaking in tongues

Certain Christians (see below) regard the act of speaking in tongues, as a gift of God through the Holy Spirit. As described in the Book of Acts and 1 Corinthians, it is one of holy Gifts of the Spirit given by God to the faithful on the Day of Pentecost. Other religious faiths also incorporate glossolalia as a component of worship traditions. From the Christian point of view, "glossolalia" is an incorrect term from contemporary language of empirical classification (or neologism) to describe an experience in which human ...

A Bible-centred discussion of the question would pick up on the glossolalia (speaking with tongues) of the New Testament Pentecost story, where in the Book of Acts [1]. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house"..."And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire"..."they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues"..."devout men, ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Christianity - Worship and practices

Orthodox and Catholic believers describe Christian worship in terms of the seven sacraments or "mysteries." These include baptism, the Eucharist (communion), matrimony, Holy Orders, confirmation or Chrismation, penance and reconciliation, and the Anointing of the Sick. Many Protestant groups, following Martin Luther, recognize the sacramental nature of baptism and communion, but not usually the other five. Anabaptist and Brethren groups would add feet washing. Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Holiness Churches emphasize "gifts of the Spi ...

Charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Charismatic authority - Application of Weber's theories

Weber’s model of charismatic leadership giving way to institutionalization is endorsed by several academic sociologists, such as Eileen Barker. Barker discusses that in new religious movements there is often a founder or leader who wields charismatic authority and who is believed to have some special powers or knowledge. She asserts that almost by definition, charismatic leaders are unpredictable, for they are not bound tradition or rules. Such leaders may be accorded by the followers the right to pronounce on all aspects of their lifes. I ...

While William Joseph Seymour is considered the initial founder, D.C.O. Opperman, E.W. Doak, and Garfield Thomas Haywood were the initial incorporators. J. J. Frazee (occasionally incorrectly reported as 'Frazier') was elected the first general superintendent. The head of the organization held the title of General Elder or General Overseer until 1925, when it was changed to Presiding Bishop.
