Among nascent Quakerism and the beginnings of Pentecostalism, performances and speeches emerged from excluded masses against the structures “of this world”. Both Quakers and Pentecostals opposed war, racism as well as gender and class inequalities. In addition to equity, the premise of the Spirit’s power in the individual also inspired a selfless conduct, mystical spirituality, bravery in testimony, honesty and dedication to work, while distrusting the established powers and nurturing a certainty in the imminent return of Christ. Furthermore, the cyclical changes and contact with worlds other than their own have re-signified their political beliefs and positions: on the Quaker side, a posture increasingly engaged in changes coinciding with a decrease in the number of believers; Pentecostalism, in turn, would grow significantly, although neglecting guidelines that marked its initial moment.
