Abstract

The aim of this article is to study evangelical discipline as a mean of control and power within the Protestant churches. Through a phenomenological qualitative study, we intended to approach the reality of six young evangelicals, members of a Venezuelan Pentecostal Evangelical Church. A focused interview was used to collect information, applying a Critical Discourse Analysis for the analysis of results. The final reflections were as follows: the young evangelical has as principle of life and faith, the Lord Jesus plan of salvation. Ecclesiastical discipline, unlike the biblical, is a mechanism of control and power that seeks to exercise dominion over the members of the church, and forces them to keep and establish a docility-utility relation with disciplinary authorities, using the speech as a mean for the exercise of such technologies.
