MATTHEW DEL NEVO, Toward the Philosophical Foundations of "Pentecostal" Ecclesiology
There are no translations available.

Abstract: The article presents an already known theory regarding the three ages of Church: the Peterine one, referring to Saint Peter’s Church, in Rome; the Paulinian one, indicating Protestant confessions; and the Johannine age, referring to a hypothetical future Church, of the Holy Spirit. The point of view of this text speaks of the Pentecostalism (i.e. the movement of the Holy Spirit) as the true third age of the Church. This statement is about global dynamics, about a state of mind, and, under no circumstances about any other Christian denomination. This “age” has its own bases, and must be understood accordingly, being different from the Protestant theological views in the past and today. In the author’s opinion, the Johnian age is rather focused on spirituality than on ideological-doctrinaire belief.

Keywords: spirituality, three ages of Church, Pentecostalism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxy
