Conformed to the Image of Christ
Pentecostal Spirituality, Sacramental Practices and Daily Living
Abstract
Many Pentecostals have been hesitant to refer to Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as sacraments and have preferred to call them ordinances. However, many elements of Pentecostal spirituality are in fact sacramental in nature and build the foundation for Christian formation. After a clarification of terminology, Pentecostals sacramentals are considered, illustrating a conveyance of divine grace. The focus is then given to the fivefold gospel and the altar call as pivotal elements of Pentecostal Christian formation in the life of the church and its calling to the world.
