The following list of Pentecostals and Non-denominationalEvangelicals is a catalogue of those who were members of Pentecostal churches or profess or professed adherence to pentecostalism. It is not intended to imply that all those who appear on the list were or remained Pentecostals for their entire lives. Given that Pentecostalism largely eschews the more formal aspects of communication and membership, the presence or absence of a person on this list should not be taken as authoritative, and further clarification should be obtained from biographical sources.
Numbering 169 million adherents worldwide, Pentecostals and non-denominational evangelicals comprise a significant part of the Christian church, outnumbering more widely recognised groups such as the Baptists (105 million), Lutherans (87 million), Anglicans (77 million), Reformed Churches, i.e. Calvinists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists (75 million), but a smaller proportion than those adhering to Eastern Orthodoxy (260 million). Cf. the Wikipedia page on denomination sizes for sources and further detail.
