The Third Pentecostal Phenomenon in Indonesia

Abstract

This article examines the Holy Spirit’s outpouring phenomenon in Indonesia, named as the ‘third Pentecost’ by Indonesian Pastor Niko Njotorahardjo from Gereja Bethel Church. Njotorahardjo suggests that the first Pentecost was reported in Acts 2, the second Pentecost occurred at the Azusa Street revival, and the third Pentecost is being poured out now. This research uses discourse analysis to study discourse collected from literature, sermons, conferences, and media recordings. While the analysis of the data used in this research is descriptive, this article is expected to provide constructive input to the global church in general and to the Pentecostal–Charismatic movement in particular.
