B. CONTRIBUTIONS AND CHALLENGES\u000AThe conclusions discuss the more relevant discoveries of Neo-Pentecostalism with regard to the role and presence in society. In the course of the study the researcher observed some changes as far as emphases and projects that are extending the initial perspectives of these churches. In spite of a short time since their foundation they have obtained significant advances about some social issues. The NPCs need to change or delve deeper into some key issues of their theology and praxis, and some questions are raised for future investigations, as this phenomenon is recent and it is still developing.\u000A1. Social thought of Neo-Pentecostals\u000AThe analysis shows that pastors and laity have some ways of expressing their ideas about their social role and presence. Although it may seem obvious, this fact is noteworthy, for some scholars attribute no thinking to them in terms of their social concern. As shown in chapters four and five, both groups expressed their understanding of their social role in the world, based on their Neo-Pentecostal beliefs. They essentially weave these ideas on society in religious language.\u000AThey do not use sociological terms to express or to elaborate their ideas on the topic. Terms such as \u2018restoring the government institutions\u2019, \u2018reconciling Guatemala to God\u2019, or \u2018to seek the salvation of souls so that society follows the ways of righteousness\u2019, among others, refer to the mission and social roles of believers in the world. In general, they base their ideas on a literal reading of the bible, which they believe in and embrace as a manual for life.\u000ATheir vision, handling of society\u2019s problems and involvement depend on their social position, which determines how they read, interpret, and apply the bible or their Evangelical heritage. For example, while middle and high class NPSs pay more attention to the social heritage of Calvin of the social presence in the world, lower middle and working class NPSs emphasize the soteriological dimension that salvation cannot be lost.\u000A326\u000A
