It was developments in the doctrine of assurance that differentiated Evangelicalism from what went before. Bebbington says, "The dynamism of the Evangelical movement was possible only because its adherents were assured in their faith."[218] He goes on:
There was a change in patterns of piety, affecting devotional and practical life in all its departments. The shift, in fact, was responsible for creating in Evangelicalism a new movement and not merely a variation on themes heard since the Reformation.[219]
The emphasis on historic Protestant orthodoxy among confessional evangelicals stands in direct contrast to an anticreedal outlook that has exerted its own influence on evangelicalism, particularly among churches strongly affected by revivalism and by pietism. Revivalist evangelicals are represented by some quarters of Methodism, the Wesleyan Holiness churches, the Pentecostal and charismatic churches, some Anabaptist churches, and some Baptists and Presbyterians.
Con el valer del tiempo y con el surgimiento de un cuadro pastoral Circunscrito, algunas de estas corrientes evolucionaron cerca de una especie de pensamiento social que pudo conectar con las preocupaciones más progresistas de los protestantes históricos. En otros casos, quizás la mayoría, estas corrientes transformaron sus posiciones sociales y políticas en otro sentido con la llegada, el crecimiento y la adaptación cultural de los distintos pentecostalismos latinoamericanos.

. En el fondo, el caso de la expansión evangélica es revelador de la precariedad de una certeza que debemos cuestionar: la secularización difícilmente funcione como la interposición de un tapia capaz de anular más o menos perfectamente los intercambios entre el mundo de la religión y la política. Lo que sucede más perfectamente es que la moderna capacidad de comprender la contingencia radical del mundo histórico social debe aplicarse al caso de las religiones para entender que la modernidad, allí de significar el fin de las religiones, es un mecanismo que, al mismo tiempo que instituye separadamente el dominio de la religión, articula transformaciones, porosidades e intercambios que hacen que las religiones estén en constante cambio y siempre «retornando».
Se pluralizaron y ganaron fuerza las expresiones relativas a la presencia del Espíritu Santo (se incrementó y sistematizó la puesta por los milagros) y a la figura de los pastores como sujetos privilegiados capaces de viabilizar esa bendición.

Chesnut argues that Pentecostalism has become "one of the principal organizations of the poor", for these churches provide the sort of social network that teach members the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly developing meritocratic society.[304]
Some open evangelicals aim to take a middle position between conservative and charismatic evangelicals, while others would combine conservative theological emphases with more progresista social positions.
Many evangelical traditions adhere to the doctrine of the believers' Church, which teaches that one becomes a member of the Church by the new birth and profession of faith.[48][21] This originated in the Radical Reformation with Anabaptists[49] but is held by denominations that practice believer's baptism.
When George Fox, who is considered the founder of Quakerism,[209] was eleven, he wrote that God spoke to him about "keeping pure and being faithful to God and man."[11] After being troubled when his friends asked him to drink bebida with them at the age of nineteen, Fox spent the night in prayer and soon afterwards he left his home in a four year search for spiritual satisfaction.[11] In his Journal, at age 23, he believed that he "found through faith in Jesus Christ the full assurance of salvation.
The charismatic iglesia movement began in the 1960s and resulted in the introduction of Pentecostal theology and practice into many mainline denominations.
