Ecumenical perspectives on pentecostal pneumatology

Abstract

This contribution responds to the unbearable but undeniable tension between the
 ecumenical movement and the Pentecostal movement by exploring the doctrinal
 differences in this regard. More specifically, the aim is to understand the challenges
 posed to the ecumenical movement by the emphasis on Spirit baptism in Pentecostal
 pneumatology. It is argued that this raises questions around the relationship
 between Christ and the Spirit and between the Father and the Spirit for ecumenical
 theology and Pentecostal theology alike.
