Summary

There are three broad types of Pentecostalism: first, Classical Pentecostalism, which emerged from the overflow of the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles (1906-1909) and led to the founding of denominations like the Assemblies of God, the Church of God, and the Church of God in Christ; second, the Charismatic Movement, which arose in the early 1960s and took shape within long-established Christian traditions, both Catholic and Protestant; and third, Neo-Pentecostalism or the Neo-Charismatic Movement, which constitutes the post-denominational and largely indigenous “Third Wave” of renewal. Pentecostals coalesce around a focus on Jesus; a flow of praise; a thirst for the Scriptures; an expectation of God’s present-day speaking and acting; an urgency in mission; an awareness of the powers of evil; the use of charismatic gifts, including tongues, healing, and prophecy; a fervent expectation of the Parousia; and a commitment to the renewal of the churches through the life-giving power of the Spirit.

Glossolalia is a phenomenon that has perplexed biblical scholars for generations. This paper challenges the majority view that glossolalia in the New Testament refers to ecstatic utterances and argues that the only independent New Testament testimony of the phenomenon is found in 1 Corinthians.
