History

The denomination emerged on November 18, 1974 in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro from a group of members of Presbyterian Church of Brazil claimed to have been baptized by the Holy Spirit, seeking to form a church Pentecostal. As the headquarters church grew, several churches were founded in other locations.[1] [2]

In 1991, the denomination's first church was founded in Belo Horizonte, where the denomination experienced rapid growth.[1] [2]

Other churches were founded in Rio Grande do Norte and São Paulo in the 2000s.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

In the 2010s, the denomination spread to other countries, starting to plant churches in Spain.[1] [2]

Doctrine

The denomination adopts the system known as G12 and believes in the modern apostolate,[13] which is completely rejected by traditional Presbyterian denominations[14] [15] [16] [17] and generally adopted by neo-Pentecostal denominations.[18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]
