Abstract

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) opens new spaces for the Pentecostal church to reexamine the nature of knowledge and spiritual experience amid the currents of digital automation. The Pentecostal tradition, which emphasizes the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, personal experience, and charismatic worship, now faces the challenge of algorithmic rationality that shapes human ways of thinking and acting. The central question that arises is how the Pentecostal community can respond to AI technology while maintaining its spiritual identity, and what implications this has for their understanding of spiritual truth. This study employs a qualitative-explorative approach through literature review and theological-hermeneutical analysis of Pentecostal writings and contemporary studies on AI. The novelty of this research lies in its effort to formulate a Pentecostal epistemology capable of both distinguishing and integrating divine inspiration and algorithmic operation as two interpretive domains of knowledge. The findings indicate that the Pentecostal tradition possesses a unique potential to enrich the discourse of digital theology by emphasizing communal experience, morality, and spiritual wisdom amid the progress of automation.

Abstrak

Kemajuan kecerdasan buatan (AI) membuka ruang baru bagi gereja Pentakostal untuk merefleksikan kembali hakikat pengetahuan dan pengalaman rohani di tengah arus otomasi digital. Tradisi Pentakostal yang menekankan inspirasi Roh Kudus, pengalaman personal, dan ibadah karismatik kini berhadapan dengan rasionalitas algoritmik yang menstruktur cara berpikir dan bertindak manusia. Pertanyaan utama yang muncul adalah bagaimana komunitas Pentakostal dapat menanggapi teknologi AI sambil mempertahankan identitas spiritualnya, serta apa implikasinya bagi cara mereka memahami kebenaran rohani. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif eksploratif melalui studi pustaka dan analisis teologis-hermeneutis terhadap literatur Pentakostal dan kajian mutakhir tentang AI. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada upaya merumuskan epistemologi Pentakostal yang mampu membedakan dan sekaligus mengintegrasikan antara inspirasi ilahi dan operasi algoritmik sebagai dua medan pengetahuan yang saling menafsir. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa tradisi Pentakostal memiliki potensi unik untuk memperkaya diskursus teologi digital melalui penekanan pada pengalaman komunitas, moralitas, dan kebijaksanaan spiritual di tengah kemajuan otomasi.
