English term

although not without qualification

English Art/Literary Religion Pentecostalism
I think that the term 'Pentecostal' is appropriate for describing globally all churches and movements that emphasize the working of the gifts of the Spirit, both on phnomenological and on theological grounds - ***although not without qualification***. A broader definition should emphasize Pentecostalism's ability to 'incarnate' the gospel in different cultural forms.

subject to a precise definition of Pentecostalism which may be narrower than the one genrally accepted.

Thank you.
agree JaneTranslates : The author offers the definition because s/he considers it to be very useful, but wants to add some caveats. Very well said, Jack.

Thank you.
agree Ken Cox : On further consideration, I take back my criticism, but I'd say 'The term (actually the concept) 'Pentecostal' can be used to refer to all xxx, but with some restrictions' (i.e., it includes more than just xxx). Then 'A broader definition...' makes sense.
