Abstract

This study aims to show the aesthetics of women in the IEAD and its statutory prescriptions in the daily, party of the Pentecostal movement throughout its existence. In order to reach the proposed goal, it is necessary to seek the historical origin of this movement, concepts and meanings, showing its specific characteristics, what it shares, and how the social origin of this group and its organization influence religious practice and women's daily life. Frequents. The expression "Pentecostalism" comes from the term "Pentecost." Pentecost was a Jewish feast mentioned in the Bible in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, Pentecost gains a new meaning by treating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Church, according to the biblical account of the Acts of the Apostles. There is no direct relationship between the Jewish feast of Pentecost and Pentecostalism. Souza (2004), shows that this new connotation for Pentecost, which occurred at the beginning of Christianity, was something accidental for the following reasons: First, because Pentecostal doctrine is directly related to the descent of the Holy Spirit and not necessarily to the feast of Pentecost. Second, because the manifestation of the gifts of speaking in tongues and prophecy, which are the signs of the unprecedented manifestation of the descent of the Espírito Santo, does not allude to this Jewish feast, but depicts the occurrence of a phenomenon that happened coincidentally on the feast day. This study seeks, as a matter of priority, to know the way the assembly women present within the current Pentecostal Movement, taking as reference the Assembly of God in Goiânia, since it is considered the largest Pentecostal Church, according to documentary data presented in the chapter, I of this work. This theme was chosen because of the Church Assembly of God in being a significant phenomenon in the socio-cultural development of the country, which has still been little researched within academies in master's and doctoral programs.
