Actually, I think that we could come up with an objective criteria of who a Renewal theologian is. Those I deleted may have belonged on some list, but not on the same list with those named. It does not take a great deal of checking to determine the identity of a named individual. If you would like to discuss, please discuss on the Renewal theolgians discussion page.

Thanks for the invitation to dialog about it. We should think about about the article. Yes, the initial list here is good, but it's also somewhat arbitrary. There are now several hundred Pentecostal scholars. All of whom could loosely be termed "Renewal Theologians" In addition, there are many many charismatic Bible teachers. So the question is how does someone make this list, and should there in fact be two different lists. Or should the Bible teachers really go in the article pertaining to their sphere of influence. It's really a tough call, which is probably why not a lot has happened with this article. Maybe the trick should be that we require an annotation. In other words, each theologian needs a sentence explaining their significance. Theologian is also a bad term. Maybe we can rename to pentecostal scholars. This would be a more technically accurate term for the apparent original purpose of the article. What do you think? Theriddles 04:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I think we should move the discussion over to the discussion page for the article, so that when we make the changes, everyone else is aware of the reasoning. Theriddles 03:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
