Charismatic elements were suppressed among colonial Australian Churches of Christ (Disciples) only to re-emerge a century later. Understandings of the work of the Holy Spirit were contested in Churches of Christ in Australia, Britain, and America, as the denomination struggled to account for the work of the Holy Spirit in contemporary times due to its foundational opposition to creeds, distrust of experientialism, and insistence on a rational common sense reading of the New Testament. This article examines Australian Churches of Christ responses to charismatic phenomena via several previously unexamined texts against the background of nineteenth-century revivalism, twentieth-century Pentecostalism, and the charismatic movement of the 1960s and ’70s. It finds that a church that once suppressed the story of an advocate of Holy Spirit baptism came to accommodate the language of renewal.

五旬节过去或现在

魅力元素在殖民地澳大利亚基督教会（门徒）中受到压制，仅在一个世纪后重新出现。澳大利亚、英国和美国的基督教会对圣灵工作的理解存在争议，因为该教派由于其根本反对信条、不信任经验主义、并坚持理性的常识阅读新约。本文以 19 世纪复兴主义、20 世纪五旬节主义和 1960 年代和 70 年代的灵恩运动为背景，通过几篇先前未经审查的文本，研究了澳大利亚基督教会对灵恩现象的反应。
