Tradition, to put it succinctly, is a concern not for the past but for the future of Pentecostalism.

The quest for answers follows the five essential patterns of tradition proposed by Anthony Giddens: collective memory, ritual expression, a formulaic conception of truth, guardians of the tradition, and its normative content.
