Since the mid-nineteenth century, the term has been used to describe Protestants in English-speaking contexts who identify with four main characteristics: crucicentrism (the centrality of Christ's work on the cross), conversionism (personal regeneration), biblicism (the supreme role of the Bible in Christian living), and activism (the notion of spreading the Good News). |

| Orthodoxy | A term used in a number of senses, of which the following are the most important: orthodoxy in the sense of ''right belief,'' as opposed to heresy; Orthodoxy in the sense of the forms of Christianity which are dominant in Russia and Greece; Orthodoxy in the sense of a movement within Protestantism, especially in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, which laid emphasis upon the need for doctrinal definition. |

| Pneumatology | The section of Christian theology dealing with the doctrine of the Holy Spirit (Greek: pneuma). |
| Revelation | an unveiling or making known of what is otherwise unknown. In Jesus Christ and the Scriptures, God graciously makes himself known to humanity.

Special revelation is God's particular revelation of Himself through specific events, especially His revelation in Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. |
