“…In contrast, the Trump prophecies examined here are not new interpretations of ancient texts but rather extra-biblical prophetic revelations. They are thus related to the Pentecostal traditions of modern-day divinely inspired prophecies and speaking in tongues with translation (see Holm, 1991: 140, 145; Sánchez Walsh, 2018: 2–6). The Trump prophecies, however, were not received during an ecstatic event or a religious gathering.…”

The Evangelical vote played a major role when Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. Although various factors may explain this result, we should not overlook the influence of the alliance that emerged between Trump and leading Evangelicals during the campaign. In this article, I present four books written before and after the election that illustrate how Trump prophecies and the portrayal of Trump as a national savior were used deliberately to convince conservative Christians that voting for him was their religious duty. With the help of framing theory, I analyze this rhetorical strategy of Trump’s allies, and show how it not only has influenced Christian voters, but also the president himself

“…Salvation in the image of Pentecost is the conscious response to the diverse proclamations of the full gospel. The heart of this response, and thus the core of the transformative moment, is the conversion of the person encountering the presence of God (Milton, 2015;Malogne-Fer, 2013;Wenk, 2000;Holm, 1991). For many Pentecostals, conversion consists of a hearing of the good news of Jesus Christ, a response in faith, and a definitive encounter with God, all typically subsumed in a unique personal testimony (Cartledge, 2010;Asamoah-Gyadu, 2009;Lawless, 1988).…”

The day of Pentecost serves as a central integrative theme for the practices, theological concepts, and biblical narratives nurturing Pentecostal soteriology. The so-called “full gospel” provides the basic contours for ritual reflection among Pentecostals and recognizes salvation as both initial metaphor for Pentecostal theology and principal theological theme. The foundational soteriological plot of Pentecost is appropriated by Pentecostals in diverse contexts through the foundational rite of the altar call and response. A Pentecostal reading of salvation from the biblical account of Pentecost and a subsequent articulation of Pentecostal soteriology cast in the image of Pentecost identifies the Pentecostal contribution to Christian soteriology as a persistent emphasis on salvation as praxis.

“…Glossolalia is a poetic-rhythmic utterance of pseudo-words without constant semantics and syntax. It is regularly produced in a religious and spiritual context with particular reference to charismatic Christian and Pentecostal communities (Goodman, 1972;Mills, 1986;Holm, 1991;Cartledge, 2002). The term glossolalia stems from a Greek phrase used in the Acts and 1 Corinthians in the New Testament [γλωσσoλαλíα, glossa (tongue or language) and laleo (speak or talk), "speaking in tongues"].…”

Attribution of Mental States in Glossolalia: A Direct Comparison With Schizophrenia

Glossolalia ("speaking in tongues") is a rhythmic utterance of pseudo-words without consistent semantic meaning and syntactic regularities. Although glossolalia is a culturally embedded religious activity, its connection with psychopathology (e.g., psychotic thought disorder and altered mental state attribution/mentalization) is still a matter of debate. To elucidate this issue, we investigated 32 glossolalists, 32 matched control participants, and 32 patients with schizophrenia using the Animated Triangle Test (ATT) and the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET). The ATT can detect hypo-and hypermentalization using animations of two moving triangles. Healthy adults describe these as random movements (e.g., bouncing), willed actions (e.g., playing), or they mentalize (e.g., tricking). We found that glossolalists provided more mentalizing descriptions in the ATT random and intentional movement animations relative to the control participants. They also recognized more mental states in the RMET than the controls. None of them had a diagnosis of mental disorders. In contrast, patients with schizophrenia hypermentalized only in the ATT random movement condition, whereas they showed hypomentalization in the ATT intentional movement condition and in the RMET relative the control subjects. Hypermentalization in the ATT positively correlated with intrinsic religiosity in the glossolalia group. In conclusion, our results demonstrated a substantial difference in the mentalizing ability of glossolalists (generalized hypermentalization) and patients with schizophrenia (both hypo-and hypermentalization).
