As the UK becomes more diverse, so do our churches. That includes those from a Pentecostal church background joining our churches, and Pentecostal churches starting and growing near us.
It is commonly held that Pentecostals believe in health and wealth as a sign of God's love for his people, otherwise known as "the prosperity gospel". But is it fair to assume this?
Either way, can FIEC churches partner with Pentecostal churches? How can they do so for the sake of the gospel?
In this episode, Adrian Reynolds (Associate National Director) is joined by Eben Adu (Christ Theological College) and Efrem Buckle (London City Mission) to discuss the Pentecostal movement, the prosperity gospel, and how we can get to know Pentecostal church leaders.
