This article argues for the necessity of continuing discourse between established Christianity and African Neopentecostalism to benefit both. The seeming popularity of the African Neopentecostal prosperity gospel is attributed to its ability to contextualise the gospel to Africans regarding the highly appreciated material, physical, and spiritual wellness values. It consists of being hopeful that a positive future will realise because of an entrepreneurial attitude that provides a handle on bettering the future and consistent tithing that guarantees God’s blessings. Strong preacher-prophets proclaim the message with great authority. Its soteriology is described in terms of the Deuteronomist concept of guaranteed blessings that emphasises the material and immediate providence. It challenges established churches to reconsider how they view the relationship between faith and materiality, the doctrine of divine providence, contextualisation of the gospel and denial of the supranatural. The dialogue will also benefit Neopentecostalists when it confronts some abuses, eschatological expectations, understanding of time, understanding of evil in God’s sovereignty and involvement in ecological challenges.

五旬节对非洲新五旬节派所采用的救恩概念的参与

本文认为有必要在已建立的基督教和非洲新五旬节派之间继续进行对话,以使两者都受益。非洲新五旬节派繁荣福音的表面流行归因于它能够将福音与非洲人高度赞赏的物质、身体和精神健康价值观相关联。它包括希望一个积极的未来会实现,因为企业家的态度提供了改善未来的方法和保证上帝祝福的一致什一奉献。强有力的传道人先知以极大的权威宣讲信息。它的救赎论是根据申命记的保证祝福的概念来描述的,该概念强调物质和直接的天意。它挑战老牌教会重新考虑他们如何看待信仰与物质之间的关系、天意的教义、福音的情境化和对超自然的否认。当新五旬节派信徒面临一些虐待、末世期望、对时间的理解、对上帝主权中的邪恶的理解以及参与生态挑战时,对话也将使新五旬节派信徒受益。
