Green Church

Abstract

The Full Gospel doctrine and the experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit play a significant role in the construction of Pentecostal ecclesiology. In this study, the author proposes the Green Church, a concept he developed within the deep ecclesiology of Pentecostalism, to broaden the implications of the Full Gospel doctrine and experience of Spirit baptism within an ecological framework. The Green Church invites Pentecostals to participate in the salvation of the whole creation. Based on this argument, the Pentecostals should rethink their church ministry holistically, rather than being solely focused on human salvation. This argument is meant to invite the Pentecostals to reject an anthropocentric view of salvation and instead recognize the rest of creation as the recipients of God’s salvific work. This research will be informed by literature from the disciplines of ecology, ecclesiology, eco-pneumatology, and deep incarnation, explored through library research.
