Trinity

The overwhelming majority of the Charismatic Movement affirms classical Trinitarian doctrine. Because the movement operates within Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant host churches, it inherits their Trinitarian commitments. The baptism of the Holy Spirit that is central to charismatic experience is understood within a Trinitarian framework: the Spirit poured out by the Father through the Son.

Oneness Pentecostals are a distinct movement that rejects the Trinity; they are not typically classified within the broader Charismatic Movement, which remains Trinitarian. Major charismatic figures and ministries — from the Catholic Charismatic Renewal to independent charismatic networks — all affirm the Trinity as a foundational non-negotiable.
