Pentecostal World Fellowship

Is anyone familiar with any membership figures for this body? I’ve heard that it might be somewhere in the realm of 100 million, which might place it as the third largest body of Christians in the world, after the Roman Church and the EOC.

Wikipedia puts pentecostalism at around 250 million followers.

I can say that it’s pretty big. I came from a Pentecostal denomination and it greatly appeals to Americans. Especially youths.

The number of Pentecostals in general would be greater than the number of members of the PWF though, right? I’m assuming there are numerous other Pentecostal denominations separate from this fellowship.

Pentecostal World Fellowship, based on this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecostal_World_Conference

seems to be a meeting of pentecostals from multiple denominations of pentecostal belief, rather than a denomination itself. Makes sense why I hadn’t heard of it before then…LOL
