1. A Protestant movement stressing personal conversion and faith as the means of salvation.C1formal

   A dynamic, trans-denominational movement within Protestant Christianity that holds four core convictions: the need for a deliberate, transformative personal conversion experience (being 'born again'); the centrality of Christ's atoning death and resurrection as the exclusive basis for forgiveness; the Bible as the ultimate and authoritative rule of faith and practice; and the duty of all believers to actively share the Gospel through evangelism, missions, and social engagement. Originating in the 18th-century revivals in Britain and America, it now encompasses a wide spectrum of denominations, churches, and parachurch organisations globally.
