Abstract

This project researched the similarities and differences between Pentecostal and non-Pentecostal leaders in understanding the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The literature search examined biblical, theological, and historical foundations. The field research was conducted using a basic questionnaire with twenty questions to conduct open-ended, guided interviews. The sample consisted of key Pentecostal leaders from the Assemblies of God and key non-Pentecostal evangelical leaders serving in strategic positions with ministry experience of over twenty-five years. The literature search revealed that theologians and practitioners of church history who overemphasized either the Word or the Spirit fell into error, portrayed a lack of balance, and caused division in the church. The field research revealed that despite the differences in theologies and labels, the work of the Spirit was pretty similar. By distinguishing too sharply between the Word and the Spirit, the church has lost an important biblical perspective and fractured the Body of Christ. Building bridges across denominational boundaries will help to unite and strengthen the church, which must be grounded in the Word and empowered by the Spirit.
