Typy pobożności w Kościele Zielonoświątkowym w RP i ich geneza
Types of Piety in the Pentecostal Church of Poland

Summary/Abstract: From its very beginnings the Pentecostal movement in Poland has not been a uniform movement. One of the differences concerns the interpretation of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Must that experience be accompanied by glossolalia or not? Is it necessary to achieve salvation or only for spiritual growth? On the basis of these speculations, two trends were formed: one radical one which attached great importance to the charismata and treated them as necessary for the Church; and one moderate trend which did not underestimate the charismata, but did not pay primary importance to them, preferring to focus more on theological studies. The first trend was anti-ecumenical, the second was more ecumenical, at least with regard to the Protestant denominations. Initially, the radical trend dominated in the Church up until 1956, when it yielded to the moderate trend, before coming to the fore again in 1988.
