Most contemporary Pentecostal missiologies advocate a move away from classical Pentecostalism’s historic emphasis on the priority of evangelization (commonly described as the narrow sense of missions). In many ways this move parallels similar missiological perspectives among Evangelicals through the influence of the Lausanne Congresses between 1974 and 2010. In this essay the author argues that Scripture does not emphasize the church’s call to transform the world but the church’s need to be transformed itself within the world as a testimony of God’s abiding presence. Building especially on the work of Paul Pomerville, Johannes Blauw, and Harry Boer, the author offers a fresh take on an old missiology, one in which the church in the age of the Spirit must especially be understood in light of God’s concern for the nations.

大多数当代五旬节派教义主义主张摆脱经典的五旬节派主义对传福音的优先考虑（通常被认为是狭sense的宣教）的历史性强调。通过1974年至2010年洛桑国会的影响，这一举动在许多方面与福音派信徒之间的相似的错义学观点相似。在本文中，作者认为圣经并未强调教会改变世界的呼吁，而是教会自身需要在内部进行改变。这个世界是上帝永存同在的见证。作者以保罗·波默维尔，约翰·布劳和哈里·布尔的作品为基础，对旧的修道院学提出了新的看法，其中必须特别考虑到圣灵时代的教会，因为上帝对万国的关怀。
