Así, el alumno saca provecho de la integración de la disciplina académica y la aplicación práctica a través de todos sus estudios. Global University está compuesta de cuatro escuelas que proveen un enfoque curricular fluido que comienza con planes de estudios no académicos y procede a través de varios niveles, para culminar con títulos de pregrado y postgrado. Las cuatro escuelas son: Escuela de Evangelismo y Discipulado, Escuela de la Biblia Berea (ofrece programas de continuación educativa para adultos, para capacitar a personas para el liderazgo), Facultad de Estudios de Pregrado de Biblia y Teología (ofrece programas conducentes a un asociado universitario o una licenciatura), y Facultad de Postgrado de Biblia y Teología (ofrece programas, sólo en inglés, conducentes a los títulos de Master of Arts, Master of Divinity, y Doctor of Ministry).

    The Pentecostal Movement © 2010 Rodney Shaw Charles Parham, Topeka, Kansas, 1901 1. Holiness preacher • Holiness preachers equated "baptism in the Spirit" in Acts with their doc- trine of sanctification. • “Pentecostal" began to be used a lot. “Back to Pentecost" became a rally- ing cry. • Some (a minority) began to seek a third experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost (and fire), though they did not expect tongues. 2.

Received the baptism of the Spirit at Azusa Street in 1907. 3. Durham's conclusions (See David K. Bernard, History of Christian Doctrine, Vol. III): • The baptism of the Spirit was a different kind of experience. Notes "I saw clearly, for the first time, the difference between having the influ- ence and presence of the Spirit with us, and having Him dwell within us in person." • He could not simply "claim" the baptism of the Spirit. "I could not kneel at the altar, and claim the Holy Ghost and go away. This was a real experience.

Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 40 (Winter 2017–2018): 244–261 244 Kansas History Dixie’s Disciples: The Southern Diaspora and Religion in Wichita, Kansas by Jay M. Price n the eve of Armistice Day in November 1926, the Defenders of the Christian Faith hosted a series of lectures in Wichita, Kansas, about the dangers of modernism, evolution, and textbooks that they asserted replaced sound religion with “the philosophy of evolutionary doctrine.” Founded just a year earlier, the Defenders hoped to use a series of daytime lectures at South Lawrence Baptist Church, followed by evening sessions at the city’s Arcadia Theater, to expose a dangerous secularism that was undermining American society. Local papers Ofound that the daytime events seemed to involve internecine conflicts among clergy, as when Rev. Morton Miller, chairman of the convention, railed against modernist bishops in his Methodist Episcopal denomination.1 The evening events, however, were dominated by the event’s star speaker, Minnesota Baptist preacher W. B. Riley. Wichita had seen its share of traveling evangelists, most notably Billy Sunday, who had conducted a six-week revival event in 1911. Now the arrival of someone of Riley’s stature connected Wichita to a profound shift that was taking place in American religion. Riley had been a major figure in the emerging fundamentalist movement. He was the key orga- nizer of the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association and was instrumental in promoting the term “fundamental- ist.”2 Riley was a friend of William Jennings Bryan, the charismatic antievolution icon who had conducted the legal defense for the state of Tennessee in the Scopes trial, and also of J.

  • Pentecostal Contributions to Contemporary Christological Thought: a Synthesis with Ecumenical Views
    PENTECOSTAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO CONTEMPORARY CHRISTOLOGICAL THOUGHT: A SYNTHESIS WITH ECUMENICAL VIEWS by SEAN DAVID HOUSE submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF THEOLOGY in the subject SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF E VAN NIEKERK NOVEMBER 2006 Student Number: 3600-206-2 I declare that PENTECOSTAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO CONTEMPORARY CHRISTOLOGICAL THOUGHT: A SYNTHESIS WITH ECUMENICAL VIEWS is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. November 20, 2006 SEAN DAVID HOUSE DATE i SUMMARY Pentecostalism, which developed its essential character during the classical period of 1901–1916, has many significant contributions to make to modern theology. Often viewed as a type of fundamentalism, it is actually a theological tradition in its own right that deserves consideration along with the other two major streams of protestantism, conservative evangelicalism and more liberal ecumenical-mainline thought. Although it emphasizes the experience of the Holy Spirit, pentecostalism is highly Christocentric as is evidenced by its foundational symbol of faith, the fourfold gospel of Jesus as savior, healer, baptizer, and coming king. This work examines how the pentecostal fourfold gospel, as a functional, from below Spirit Christology, anticipates and intersects with trends in twentieth century ecumenical theological thought. The result of the study is the articulation of a fuller, more holistic understanding of the work of Christ in salvation in the world today. KEYWORDS Pentecostal movement; fourfold gospel; functional Christology; Spirit Christology; work of Christ; perichoresis; soteriology; ecumenical theology; liberation theology; neo-orthodox theology; salvation; healing; Holy Spirit baptism; sanctification; delay of the parousia ii Dedicated to the memory of Rt.

    [AJPS 8:1 (2005), pp. 67-94] CRITIQUE OF PENTECOSTAL MISSION BY A FRIENDLY EVANGELICAL Roger E. Hedlund 1. Introduction In the conclusion of his 1997 revision of his study of the Pentecostal-Charismatic movements, Vinson Synan states, “Christian affairs of the twenty-first century may be largely in the hands of surging Pentecostal churches in the Third World and a Roman Catholicism inspired and revivified by the charismatic renewal.” 1 Hollenweger likewise indicates that Pentecostalism today is centered outside the West in a growing Third World movement.2 Indeed Pentecostalism during the twentieth century has emerged from the status of a marginalized sect to become a major tradition of Christianity. With 193 million (19.3 crores) members in 1990, the Pentecostals were the largest Protestant group of churches in the world.3 In addition to these denominational Pentecostals, if one includes mainline Charismatic Protestants and Catholics, the total is more than 372 million (37 crores) which is 21.4 percent of the world’s Christians.4 Also in 1990, out of an estimated 4 million (40 lakh) full-time Christian workers, 1.1 million (11 lakh) were Pentecostal-Charismatics.5 “Fully 1 Vinson Synan, The Holiness-Pentecostal Tradition: Charismatic Movements in the Twentieth Century (Grand Rapids/Cambridge: Eerdmans, 1997), p. 298. 2 Walter J.
