Washed in the Spirit

: Toward a Pentecostal Theology of Water Baptism

Abstract

Pentecostal theologians recently have begun ‘revisioning’ the relationship between Pentecostal theology/spirituality and the sacraments. In the last few years, emerging and established voices have made significant contributions to this developing movement. Still, relatively little attention has been committed to exploring the relationship between Pentecostal theology/spirituality and water baptism. In sum, this project seeks to do just that by converging the theological contributions of early Pentecostal periodical literature, contemporary lay Pentecostal ‘field study’ perspectives, scholarly Pentecostal and ecumenical voices, and key biblical texts to construct a Pentecostal theology of water baptism concerned with deepening Pentecostal teaching, renewing Pentecostal practice, and interacting with the larger ecumenical conversation
