Abstract:
Pentecostal Christianity is a Protestant sect created at the beginning of the twentieth century on the basis of believing in a direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit. Pentecostals believe that all the classes of society have the ability to receive the Holy Spirit. Therefore, from the perspective of the Pentecostals, freedom in the Holy Spirit is a doctrine that has led to the extreme flexibility of this movement in adopting evangelical and devotional strategies, receiving gifts and etc., but the Pentecostals’ selective viewpoint about this teaching and their innovations in this doctrine, along with serious criticisms leveled at the Bible over the principle of a direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit are among the criticisms directed at this doctrine. Therefore, this research aims to carry out an extensive study on this subject through a scientific investigation of this doctrine.

Title :«آزادی در روح‌القدس» از نگاه مسیحیت پنطیکاستی؛ آموزه‌ای اصیل یا ابزاری تبشیری؟
Abstract:
مسیحیت پنطیکاستی فرقه ای پروتستانی است که در ابتدای قرن بیستم و بر پایه‌ی روح القدس محوری به وجود آمده است. پنطیکاستی ها معتقدند که همه‌ی اقشار جامعه توانایی دریافت روح القدس را دارند. از این رو، از نگاه پنطیکاستی ها، آزادی در روح القدس آموزه ای است که به انعطاف بالای این جنبش در اتخاذ استراتژی های تبشیری و عبادی، دریافت عطایا و اموری از این دست منجر شده است؛ لیکن نگاه گزینشی پنطیکاستی ها به این آموزه و ابداعات آنها در این آموزه، به همراه نقد جدی کتاب مقدس بر اصل روح القدس محوری، از جمله اشکالاتی است که بر این آموزه وارد شده است. از این رو این پژوهش درصدد است تا با بررسی و تحلیل علمی این آموزه، تحقیقی مبسوط در این باره ارائه دهد.
