P'ent'ay
P'ent'ay (from (アムハラ語:ጴንጤ), also transliterated as Pentay or Pente) is an Amharic and Tigrinya language term for a Christian of Protestant denomination, widely used in modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea and among Ethiopians and Eritreans living abroad. It is used to describe Christians who are not members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo, Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo, Roman Catholic or Ethiopian Catholic churches. The term ''P'ent'ay'' is a shortening of the word "Pentecostal", however, it is widely used when referring to all Protestant Christians whether they are actual Pentecostals or not.〔(Pente: name used by Orthodox Christian to label Ethiopian Protestant Christians )〕 The equivalent rendition in many other languages is Evangelicals. The four major Evangelical denominations in Ethiopia are: the Kale Heywet (Word of Life); Mekane Yesus (Place of Jesus) or Lutheran; Mulu Wongel (Full Gospel) and Meserete Kristos (meaning "Christ foundation") or Mennonite. Some P'ent'ay communities - especially Mekane Yesus - have been influenced by the Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which represents mainstream, traditional Ethiopian Christianity. But for the most part they are very Pentecostal in their worship and theology.
The P'ent'ay label may be an indication of the apparent prominence of the Pentecostal denomination at some point in the history of Evangelicalism in Ethiopia, even though many other branches such as Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians and Mennonites also have a similarly wide presence.〔(Current Influences and connections of western and Ethiopian churches )〕
==Beliefs==
Evangelicals in Ethiopia believe that one should be saved by believing in Jesus as Lord and Saviour for the forgiveness of sins. They believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the one essence of the Trinity (Matthew 28:19-20, also Psalms 2:7, Mark 9:7, Luke 22:29, Luke 3:22). Like all other Christian churches that accept the Gospels, P'ent'ays also believe in being "born again" (''dagem meweled''), as it is written numerous times in the Gospel of John, and demonstrated by one's baptism in the Holy Spirit as well as water baptism, speaking in tongues is one of the signs, but not the only sign, of "receiving Christ", which should include a new lifestyle and social behavior.
Although almost all Evangelical branches in Ethiopia have one or two theological differences or different approaches in the interpretation of the Bible, all of the four major branches follow the beliefs common to born-again Christians of the world. The four major denominations also exchange pastors (''megabi'') and allow the preachers to serve in different churches when invited. All of the four main churches and others also share and listen to various gospel singers, ''mezmur'' (gospel music) producers and choirs.
