Abstract:
This work intends to study the so-called neo-Pentecostal religious phenomenon,
specifically the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. The delimitacional cut falls within
the Protestant religious reality of Brazil, It aims to search bibliographically the
phenomenon of Brazilian neo-Pentecostal growth and social circumstances in which
it occurs. We seek to understand the process of expansion and acceptance of their
proposals to the population by the population. As a result, the research expected to
raise positive points or perceptions that may be indicators which are contributing to
the churches considered historical. The study was accomplished based on a
neopentecostal referral, here in case the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus, and a
historic Baptist Church, specifically the Convenção Batista Brasileira.
