PPG view of 2nd Peter.

The book of 2nd Peter in the Bible, while mostly overlooked, contains valuable insight concerning the beliefs of Primitive Pentecostalism. In fact, one of the primary goals of Primitive Pentecostalism is to return to the early church teachings and traditions, making this book of the Bible incredibly important and relevant to the tradition. 

In essence, Primitive Pentecostalism emphasizes the importance of having a strong faith in Jesus. Even when the world around us is facing suffering and pain, we should place our faith in him and remain faithful. This message is seen throughout the book of 2nd Peter, with the first and second chapters making it particularly clear. In the first chapter, Peter calls on each and every one of us to work hard in deepen our relationship with God and make our calling and election sure through faith in Jesus Christ. He also explains how by doing this and growing our faith, we are more likely to endure trials and temptations.

Primitive Pentecostalism also puts an emphasis on the power of the Holy Spirit and its ability to empower us. This is another concept which is highlighted throughout the book of 2nd Peter. Particularly in the third chapter, where Peter reminds believers of the power of the Holy Spirit and how great and mighty it is. In this chapter, Peter is encouraging believers to use their faith in the promise of Jesus, who will return one day in glory — a concept that is fundamental to Primitive Pentecostalism. 

Overall, the book of 2nd Peter is an important source of information for Primitive Pentecostals. From reminding believers of the importance of faith and the power of the Holy Spirit, to the promise of Jesus’ return, it allows further insight into the core teachings and beliefs of this Christian tradition.
