Summary/Abstract: This article discusses Pentecostal faith experiences and their meaning in enriching the lives of believers. The article points to two levels of cognition, or so called “experiences of faith”: the religious experience of faith and great self-commitment. Experiences of faith can differ not only experientially, but also by their intensity and depth. This article first discusses what faith is, then what an experience of faith is, and finally what we consider to be an experience of faith. In the first part, general experiences of faith are discussed, especially the difference between religious experience and the experience of, as we called it, great self-commitment. The second part of the article provides an overview of the meaning of great self-commitment, actually experiences of Holy Spirit activity in a believer.
