The 2023 CHURCH

Christian America died. And the leaders who kept looking back never moved forward. The pastors who kept looking back imagined a culture governed by Christian values and refused to see the world for what it was increasingly becoming. Over the last decade, Christian America died. As much as some Supreme Court decisions in the early 2020s made religious conservatives think they were winning the culture wars, any sense of victory was short-lived. The overwhelming identification of Generation Z and Generation Alpha as having no religious affiliation transformed America into a thoroughly post-Christian culture. All of this put Christian church leaders into one of ...

Bulgaria in Pentecostal Theology: A Theology of Encounter

REVIVAL MUST GO ON…

March 1, 2023 There is a good reason we signed off our final 2022 newsletter with our slogan of 30+ years: “Revival must go on,” after our Revival Harvest Campaign was extended five times over a four-month period last year. Revival runs deep in our family roots. During the Great Bulgarian Pentecostal Revival in the 1920s, my grandmother was miraculously healed on her death bed from tuberculosis, saved and filled with the Spirit along with our whole family five generations back. Exactly 70 years (one generation) later, I was saved in the post-Communist Revival in Bulgaria prophesied by Danish journalist Johny Noer, who ...

Spiritual Fullness (Fullness in the Spirit) among Early Bulgarian Pentecostals and Today

Bulgaria’s early Pentecostals insisted on a spiritual fullness that included: (1) salvation, (2) water baptism and (3) baptism with the Spirit.[1] As a formula of spiritual experience, it satisfied the witness of blood, water and Spirit (1 Jn. 5:8) on earth; but also corresponded with the triune God in heaven (1 Jn. 5:7), from whom the believer’s spiritual experience originated. Many conservative Pentecostals in Bulgaria today still uphold “the fullness” teaching and would not use Bibles that exclude Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7) for these three “bear record in heaven.”[2] However, even with the already present Trinitarian experience of the believer ...
