A reflection on Pentecostalism and montanism from the perspective of the indigenous religion of Cybele or the great mother of the gods

Abstract

This study comes under two main sections; the first part gives a brief summary of the indigenous religion of Montanus before his conversion to the Christian faith. The second section draws out five beliefs of the modern-day Pentecostalism that are found in the Montanist movement led by Montanus. We shall then conclude that indigenous religions have some beliefs and practices that are shadows of the reality that are now fully realized in the Lord Jesus Christ.
