The task of this article is to interrogate and reconstruct Fabien Eboussi Boulaga’s theory of the Christic model as a pragmatic response to negative messianisms among African Pentecostals. Taking the hint from the two-natures messianic metaphoricity, the article argues that the messianic structure of Christ as an eternal myth is infinitely culturally demythologized into different historical and cultural contexts. It concludes by demonstrating that the two-natures messianicity captures a dialectic connection between divine infinity and human finitude. A pragmatic reconceptualization of the two-natures messianicity serves as a structuring principle or functional messianic model in the search for a balance of power and accountability in the struggle against menacing dominant hegemonies. It is critical because African Pentecostalism functions with the power-over as a structuring principle which makes congregants vulnerable to abuse of spiritual power and objectification, sexualization, and exploitation of a mystified mass.

本文的任务是质疑和重建法比安·埃布西·布拉加 (Fabien Eboussi Boulaga) 的基督教模式理论，作为对非洲五旬节派消极弥赛亚主义的务实回应。文章从弥赛亚的二性隐喻中得到暗示，认为基督的弥赛亚结构作为一个永恒的神话，在不同的历史和文化背景下被无限地文化去神话化。最后，它证明了两种本性的弥赛亚性抓住了神圣的无限性和人类的有限性之间的辩证联系。对两种性质的弥赛亚性进行务实的重新概念化，可以作为一种结构原则或功能性弥赛亚模型，在与威胁性的主导霸权的斗争中寻求权力和责任的平衡。
