Evangelical Christianity
Evangelicalism (), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide Interdenominationalism, interdenominational movement within Protestantism, Protestant Christianity that affirms the centrality of being "born again", in which an individual experiences personal conversion; the authority of the Bible as God in Christianity, God's revelation to humanity (biblical inerrancy); and evangelism, spreading the Christian message. The word ''evangelical'' comes from the Greek (''euangelion'') word for "the gospel, good news". Its origins are usually traced to 1738, with various theological streams contributing to its foundation, including Pietism and Radical Pietism, Puritanism, Quakerism, Presbyterianism and Moravian Church, Moravianism (in particular its bishop Nicolaus Zinzendorf and his community at Herrnhut).Brian Stiller, ''Evangelicals Around the World: A Global Handbook for the 21st Century'', Thomas Nelson, USA, 2015, pp. 28, 90.

Protestantism In Spain
Protestantism has had a very minor impact on Spanish life since the Reformation of the 16th century, owing to the intolerance of the Spanish government towards any non-Catholic religion and the Spanish Inquisition. However, it has become more prevalent in the 20th and 21st centuries thanks to immigration of Pentecostal Christians from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America/Caribbean. Many Romani people also converted to Pentecostalism in the last decades. Ninety-two percent of Spain's 8,131 villages do not have an evangelical Protestant church. Recent history Francoist persecution Protestantism made a comeback following the Glorious Revolution of 1868, which resulted in the granting of greater religious liberties; this was rescinded again during caudillo Francisco Franco's Spanish State. In Franco's authoritarian Spanish State, Protestantism was deliberately marginalised and persecuted.

Baptist Denominations Established In The 20th Century
Baptists form a major branch of Protestantism distinguished by baptizing professing Christian believers only ( believer's baptism), and doing so by complete immersion. Baptist churches also generally subscribe to the doctrines of soul competency (the responsibility and accountability of every person before God), ''sola fide'' (salvation by just faith alone), ''sola scriptura'' (scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice) and congregationalist church government. Baptists generally recognize two ordinances: baptism and communion. Diverse from their beginning, those identifying as Baptists today differ widely from one another in what they believe, how they worship, their attitudes toward other Christians, and their understanding of what is important in Christian discipleship. For example, Baptist theology may include Arminian or Calvinist beliefs with various sub-groups holding different or competing positions, while others allow for diversity in this matter within t ...

Anglicanism In Spain
Anglicanism in Spain has its roots in the 16th-century . Today it is represented by two Church bodies, namely, the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church and Church of England's Diocese in Europe. Background The Spanish Reformation started in the 16th century, when several Spaniards fully agreed with the approaches of the Protestant Reformation initiated by Martin Luther in Germany. Outstanding groups among these adherents were those of Valladolid (related to Lutheranism) and Seville (initially favourable to Calvinism). The Sevillian group included the Hieronymite monks from the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo. In the beginning, Spanish Protestantism spread mainly amongst the noble and educated class, due to its close ties with Christian humanism and the reading of the Bible. As testimony to this period, there were distinguished names such as Juan de Valdés, Francisco de Enzinas, Casiodoro de Reina, Cipriano de Valera and Antonio del Corro. Casiodoro and Cipriano made the firs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
