The Vitalistic Conception of Salvation has been pointed out as a distinctive character of Japanese new religions. It has not been discussed, however, how this conception would develop in a different cultural context. This article will investigate Brazilian converts to Japanese new religions (Seicho-no-ie, Perfect Liberty and Tenrikyo) and compare them with those to Pentecostalism (Charismatic Renewal Movement and Universal Church of Kingdom of God). Brazilians who converted to the Japanese new religions raise four points of the new religions as different from their former religions: a) novelty of ritual and pray; b) more kindness than Catholic Church; c) change of God’s image; d) liberation from sin. These points can be found in the cases of Pentecostalism as well, although they do not have the Vitalistic Conception of Salvation.
