In this lecture I would like to discuss how we Pentecostals can articulate our theology in a way that makes it easier for our non-Pentecostal Evangelical brothers and sisters to hear our message and absorb it. One of the issues this raises has to do with basic communication theory: For whom is our theologizing intended? If it is intended only for ourselves, then we can feel free to use whatever language is most convenient or meaningful for us. If, however, our theologizing is intended for others, then we ought to think about how outsiders process whatever we are saying. My contention is that we ought to be apologists for Pentecostalism and make our theology as winsome as possible to the larger Evangelical community. However, to this point in time we have largely been speaking language that we find familiar and comfortable, even though it sometimes introduces unnecessary barriers for Evangelicals who have the potential to embrace Pentecostal theology."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderidentityPentecostalEvangelicaltheologyHoly SpiritChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticEvangelicalDogmaticsHoly SpiritArticle
