In this article we argue that the spread of Pentecostalism in Romania can be interpreted as a relative success of a particular form of this religious movement which in contrast to the culturally sensitive and ethnically defined approach of the 'historical' churches proposes a more culturally neutral form of Christianity. The article presents a short history of the emergence of the religious pluralism in Romania, and a general view on the present religious demography. We argue that a more culturally neutral approach attracts certain social groups (for example rural population in some areas, urban lower classes, Roma in both urban and rural context) and we propose an interpretation based on two ethnographic case studies.
