  12. For those unfamiliar with the differences between the two traditions, one
    adheres to an understanding of the fi vefold gospel message, where Jesus
    Christ is believed to be: savior, sanctifi er, baptizer in the Holy Spirit, healer
    and coming king. The fourfold message omits the sanctifi er dimension as a
    distinct dimension and subsumes it under the savior theme. See Allan
    Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism , 2nd ed. (Cambridge:
    Cambridge University Press, 2014), chapter “Bible and ‘full gospel’”,
    222–241, for an explanation.

  13. I tend to use small “p” in “pentecostal” as an adjective, synonymous with
    “charismatic” or “renewalist.” I use capital “P” in “Pentecostal” for
    denominational classical Pentecostal groups that have enshrined pentecos-
    tal spirituality within an ecclesial tradition.
