摘要

五旬節／靈恩運動在台灣已成為被普遍接受的基督教運動，它為台灣教會帶來靈性的更新和活力；然而，其所帶來的反智效應也是顯而易見，相關的神學反思亦付之闕如。另一方面，若干非五旬節／靈恩教牧及學者則嘗試從自身的神學背景予以評論，有時卻未能充分掌握該運動的神學意義，尤有甚者更將之視為當代教會問題處理。然而，筆者認為五旬節／靈恩運動蘊含著尚待挖掘的神學資源，五旬宗和靈恩派本身也應培養神學反思的習慣，使該運動更為成熟。本文擬從國內五旬節／靈恩教會現況著手，從五旬節運動的原初精神以及晚近五旬宗學界的神學議題提出神學和信仰的反思。

As an ongoing Christian movement, the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement has generally been accepted into Taiwanese Christianity. This movement has brought with it a spiritual renewal and a focus on virtue, yet also an anti-intellectual tendency. There is a notable lack of relevant theological reflection within the movement. There have been attempts by non-Pentecostal/non-Charismatic ministers and scholars to critique the movement, but they have done so using their own theological traditions. In some cases, these critiques have failed to sufficiently understand the theological significance of this movement. These groups view the movement as a problem for the contemporary church. However, this paper argues that the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement is filled with as-yet undiscovered theological resources. Pentecostals and Charismatics must develop their skills in theological reflection, which will help the movement mature. This paper will examine the present context of the Taiwanese Pentecostal/Charismatic movement and argue for increased theological reflection using the concept of the Pentecostal spirit, and making reference to recent theological issues in Pentecostal scholarship in Taiwan.
