Charismatic Christianity (also known as
Spirit-filled Christianity) is a form of
Christianity that emphasizes the work of the
Holy Spirit,
spiritual gifts, and modern-day
miracles. Practitioners are often called
Charismatic Christians or
renewalists. Although there is considerable overlap, Charismatic Christianity is often categorized into three separate groups:
Pentecostalism, the
Charismatic Movement, and
Neo-charismatic movement. According to the Pew Research Center, Pentecostals and Charismatic Christians numbered over 584 million or a quarter of the world's 2 billion Christians in 2011.
