RESUMO

The imolantation of the Protestantism, particularly of the Presbyterianism, in Brazil began in 1859, with the work of the Presbyterian missionary Rev. Ashbel Green Simonton. At that time, even though the Roman Catholicism was disorganized and almost abandoned by the Roman Catholicism, it was powerful. The Presbyterian Mission started to be an option for the natives in Brazil. The Presbyterianism, in its long implantation process, development and structuring, was marked by successes and internal schisms. In 1888, the Presbyterianism became administratively independent, giving origin to the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. However, the Presbyterianism did not remain as a homogeneous Protestant movement. In 1903 the first schism appears in the Brazilian national environment, giving rise to the Independent Presbyterian Church of Brazil. Some years later, more precisely thirty seven years, a theological debate arouse inside of that church, which represented tendencies already existent. The essential issue that starts the rupture is The Doctrine of the Endless Punishment. Besides the above essential issue, this paper will present other aspects that indirectly contributed for the organization of the Conservative Presbyterian Church of Brazil; and as that Church consolidated herself in the national Protestantism environment.
