How many Pentecostal people are in the world?

Answer 1

The number of Pentecostals in the world is difficult to determine. According to one source written in 2004, the number is 250 to 500 million. If only traditional churches, like Assemblies of God or those with the Pentecostal name, are considered, the number is lower. If the term Pentecostal refers to all churches and movements that emphasize the Holy Spirit (such as Charismatics and Full Gospel), the number is higher.

According to another source, the number is 279 million, but those who consider themselves "Charismatic, Full Gospel, etc. are not included in that number. The source also states that the movement is growing worldwide.
