Resumo: This article aims to understand and interpret the meaning two different protestant groups, located in Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brazil, attribute to death. One is the International Church of the Grace of God, a neopentecostal church and a traditional one, presbyterian. Ethnography was employed during the services and meetings of both churches in addition to open-ended interviews with participant observation. Collected data were compared. Results revealed that the presbyterians' concept of hope is linked to meeting again in heaven and victory over death through eternal life and the second coming of Jesus Christ. Death for them is denaturalized and ritualistic. In contrast, neopentecostals view death as a natural rupture of life and do not ritualize it in the sacred space. In their view, death is opposed to the endless search for divine blessings, especially material ones and those related to healing the body.

Este trabajo trata del sentido de la muerte para dos grupos evangélicos distintos, uno neopentecostal de la Iglesia Internacional de la Gracia de Dios y el otro protestante histórico de vertiente presbiteriana, ambos localizados en la ciudad de Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brasil. Fue realizada etnografía en cultos y reuniones de las denominaciones, entrevistas abiertas con fieles y observación participante. Los datos recolectados fueron analizados comparativamente. La investigación demostró que la noción de esperanza de los presbiterianos está sujeta al reencuentro en el cielo y a la victoria sobre la muerte por medio de la vida eterna y del segundo retorno de Jesucristo. La muerte, entre ellos, es desnaturalizada y ritualizada. En contraposición, los neopentecostales ven la muerte como una ruptura natural de la vida, sin ritualizarla en el espacio sagrado. Para ellos la muerte se opone a la busca incesante, en el presente, de las bendiciones divinas, en especial las materiales y las relacionadas con la curación del cuerpo.
