Charismatic Christianity (also known as Spirit-filled Christianity) is an umbrella term that describes a form of Christianity that emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts and modern day miracles. "Charismatic Christian" and "renewalist" are sometimes used to describe Christians who practice this version of Christianity. It is often categorized into three separate groups (though there is much overlap): Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Movement, and neocharismatic movements. In 2011, Pentecostals and charismatic Christians numbered over 500 million, a quarter of the world's 2 billion Christians.

Famous quotes containing the word christianity:
“There are many definite methods, honest and dishonest, which make people rich; the only “instinct” I know of which does it is that instinct which theological Christianity crudely describes as “the sin of avarice.””
