| Summary: | According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, as early as 1980, the classic Pentecost was transformed into the world's largest union of Protestants. At that time, the number of his faithful was about 51 million. persons other than 11 million Pentecostal charisma. Thus, 75 years after its inception, there have already been 62 million Pentecostals worldwide in more than 100 countries.
Given the dynamics of the Pentecostal period, it can be argued that neophytes attract some attractive elements of the doctrine into its ranks. This is what actualizes the identified problem and will be the subject of our research. In the light of this, the subject of our study is an analysis of the development of the cornerstone doctrine of the Pentecostal doctrine - the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" and its essential eschatological characteristics. The main objectives of the study include: 1) determining the causes and timing of the Pentecostal "awakening movement"; 2) exploring the main stages of the Pentecostal movement and the doctrinalisation of the Pentecostal doctrine; 3) summarizing the basic typological characteristics of Pentecostal eschatology and defining its essential characteristics.
