English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Art/Literary - Religion / Pentecostalism
English term or phrase: although not without qualification
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.

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.

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.
