Charismatic Christianity

Rare card · No. 74524

Charismatic Christianity is a form of Christianity that emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts as an everyday part of a believer's life. It has a global presence in the Christian community. Practitioners are often called charismatic Christians or renewalists. Although there is considerable overlap, charismatic Christianity is often categorized into three separate groups: Pentecostalism, the charismatic movement (which is spread across historical Christian denominations), and the neo-charismatic movement. Charismatic Christianity grew out of Protestantism and is distinguished from Pentecostalism in that it is a movement within traditional and not Pentecostal denominations. According to the Pew Research Center, Pentecostals and Charismatic Christians numbered over 584 million worldwide as of 2011.
