The representations of the youth in the Chilean pentecostalism are linked to three dimensions. The first one refers to the institutional construction of the youth where three aspects appear: the youth as a stage of fleeting beauty; the emphasis and recreation of spaces of participation for the young persons who imply rituals of effort and physical resistance as form of social preparation; and a sexual differentiation on the youth in which the requirements direct the men to the domain of his character and the women the control of their bodies. In the second level we find a social reinvention of the young «pentecostales» persons. In this dimension the young pentecostales persons represent their youth as symbolic times where two temporalities appear: golden time and contingent time. Finally, both the models and the goals proposed to the youth of this epoch were recounted to three types of religious work: shepherd; preacher; and teacher of Biblical education. Works that were within reach of men and women. This one is the Generation P, proposals as resources of social mobility that were appearing to these young persons, who were not finding in another part, they generated spaces of participation and the leaders' appearance that they played the role of the Chilean pentecostalismo, one of them more successful of Latin America.
