Neo-charismatics include the [[Third Wave of the Holy Spirit|Third Wave]], but are broader. Now more numerous than Pentecostals (first wave) and charismatics (second wave) combined, owing to the remarkable growth of [[postdenominational churches|postdenominational]] and independent charismatic groups.<ref name = NIDPCM>{{Citation | editor1-first = Stanley M | editor1-last = Burgess | editor2-first = Eduard M | editor2-last = van der Maas | title = The New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements | place = Grand Rapids | publisher = Zondervan | year = 2002 | contribution = Neocharismatics| title-link = The New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements}}</ref> Neo-charismatics believe in and stress the post-Biblical availability of [[gifts of the Holy Spirit]], including [[glossolalia]], healing, and prophecy. They practice laying on of hands and seek the "infilling" of the [[Holy Spirit]]. However, a specific experience of [[baptism with the Holy Spirit]] may not be requisite for experiencing such gifts. No single form, governmental structure, or style of church service characterizes all neo-charismatic services and churches. Some nineteen thousand denominations, with approximately 295 million individual adherents, are identified as neo-charismatic.<ref>{{Citation | editor1-first = Stanley M | editor1-last = Burgess | editor2-first = Eduard M | editor2-last = van der Maas | title = The New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements | place = Grand Rapids | publisher = Zondervan | year = 2002 | pages = 286–287}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
