Antara Inspirasi dan Otomasi: Mencari Epistemologi Pentakostal di Era Kecerdasan Buatan
type: item
description: 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 d…

Artificial Intelligence sebagai Sarana bukan Sumber Utama: Perspektif Pentakosta Tentang Teknologi Dan Otoritas Firman
type: item
description: The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly reshaped theological education, biblical interpretation, and church ministry. On the one hand, AI supports biblical research, sermon preparation, and digital ministry; on the other hand, it raises critical questions about the authority of the Word of God and the role of the Holy Spirit. This study examines AI from a Pentecostal theological perspective, which regards AI as an instrument rather than the primary source of truth. The research employs a qualitative approach, combining a literature review with theological analysis of scholarly works on artificial intelligence, digital theology, and Pentecostal theology. The findings indicate that AI is beneficial as a supportive tool for ministry; however, it lacks spirit, moral consciousness, and the capacity to receive divine revelation. Consequently, AI cannot replace the authority of the Word of God or the work of the Holy Spirit. This study proposes the concept of Spirit-Guided Artificial Intelligence, advocating the responsible use of AI under the authority of Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit as an ethical foundation for church ministry in the digital age. Abstrak Perkembangan Artificial Intelligence (AI) telah membawa perubahan dalam pendidikan teologi, penafsiran Alkitab, dan pelayanan gereja. Di satu sisi, AI mendukung penelitian Alkitab, penyusunan materi khotbah, dan pelayanan digital, tetapi di sisi lain menimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai otoritas Firman Allah dan peran Roh Kudus. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji AI dari perspektif teologi Pentakosta yang menempatkannya sebagai sarana, bukan sumber utama kebenaran. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui studi pustaka dan analisis teologis terhadap literatur tentang AI, teologi digital, dan teologi Pentakosta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa AI bermanfaat sebagai alat bantu dalam pelayanan, tetapi tidak memiliki roh, kesadaran moral, atau kemampuan menerima wahyu ila…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) dan Pembentukan Pemimpin di Era Digital: Kajian Teologis dalam Perspektif Pentakostalisme
type: item
description: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the digitalization of education have created both opportunities and challenges for faith formation among children in Christian education, particularly within Pentecostal contexts. Amidst the rise of automated technology, there is a growing need to reaffirm the role of the Holy Spirit as the center of spiritual formation, character development, and divine wisdom. This article reflects on digital pneumatology as a theological framework guiding churches and Christian educators in living out the principle of Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go” within the age of AI. Using a qualitative approach based on theological and pedagogical literature review, this study examines the integration of Pentecostal faith, digital ethics, and early childhood Christian education. The findings reveal that the work of the Holy Spirit is not constrained by technology but acts as a transformative power that sanctifies the digital realm and directs the use of AI wisely, contextually, and Christ-centeredly. Consequently, Pentecostal education for children in the digital age must integrate divine wisdom and technological innovation to nurture a generation that is spiritually, ethically, and digitally intelligent. Abstrak Perkembangan Artificial Intelligence (AI) telah mengubah cara manusia belajar, berkomunikasi, dan memimpin, termasuk dalam konteks gereja dan pembentukan pemimpin rohani. Fenomena ini menimbulkan pertanyaan teologis yang mendalam: bagaimana AI dapat digunakan untuk mendukung formasi rohani tanpa menggeser peran Roh Kudus sebagai pusat kehidupan spiritual? Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji secara teologis peran AI dalam pembentukan pemimpin rohani di era digital berdasarkan perspektif Pentakostalisme, yang menekankan relasi personal dengan Roh Kudus, karunia rohani, dan transformasi batiniah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka dengan menganalisis literatur t…

Pemanfaatan Artificial Intelligence (AI) Sebagai Media Ajar dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen (Pak)
type: item
description: Christian Religious Education (CRE) occupies a unique position in both formal and non-formal education due to its holistic nature. The process and outcomes of CRE learning demand comprehensive transformation across three interconnected domains, namely the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor, which together shape Christian character. The primary challenge in teaching CRE lies in its abstract and transcendental character, compounded by cultural and geographical diversity, making it difficult to explain concretely within the classroom setting. Through a qualitative approach grounded in literature review, this article asserts that the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in CRE is not merely a technological innovation, but also an opportunity to expand the space for reflective and participatory faith experience. Within the context of advancing AI technology, new possibilities emerge for enriching pedagogical methods. AI can assist CRE teachers in illustrating abstract faith concepts through simulation, visualization, and interactive digital reflection. This article addresses two primary concerns: first, the complexity of CRE as a subject that demands transformation across all dimensions of human existence; and second, the utilization of AI as a pedagogical tool capable of clarifying, contextualizing, and bringing to life faith values within a more adaptive learning process. Abstrak Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran yang menempati posisi unik dalam pendidikan formal dan non formal karena sifatnya holistik. Proses dan hasil pembelajaran PAK menuntut transformasi menyeluruh pada tiga ranah utama yaitu afektif, kognitif, dan psikomotorik yang saling berkaitan dalam membentuk karakter Kristiani. Kesulitan utama dalam mengajarkan PAK terletak pada sifatnya yang abstrak, transendental, perbedaan budaya dan geografi sehingga sulit dijelaskan secara konkret di ruang kelas. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif berbasis kajian pustaka, tulisan in…

Keselamatan Kekal atau Keselamatan Bersyarat? Sintesis Biblis-Teologis terhadap Perdebatan Soteriologi Kristen Kontemporer
type: item
description: Abstract The doctrine of salvation occupies a central place in Christian theology, yet the question of whether salvation can be lost remains an unresolved debate between the Calvinist and Arminian traditions. The eternal security view emphasizes divine sovereignty and the certainty of grace, while the conditional salvation view stresses the responsibility of faith and the genuine possibility of apostasy. Contemporary scholarship tends to align with one camp and rarely brings both positions into constructive dialogue, particularly within the context of Indonesian evangelical theology. This article aims to construct a biblical-theological synthesis of the debate through a literature review using a descriptive-analytical approach. The sources include biblical texts, systematic theological works, and recent Scopus-indexed journal articles. The findings demonstrate that both views rest on solid biblical foundations and highlight different yet complementary dimensions of salvation. Salvation is best understood as the sovereign work of divine grace that calls for the continuous response of faith, making the theological tension between the two positions constructive rather than contradictory. Abstrak Doktrin keselamatan menempati posisi sentral dalam teologi Kristen, namun pertanyaan apakah keselamatan dapat hilang atau tidak masih menjadi perdebatan terbuka antara tradisi Calvinis dan Arminian. Pandangan keselamatan kekal menekankan kedaulatan Allah dan kepastian anugerah, sedangkan pandangan keselamatan bersyarat menekankan tanggung jawab iman dan kemungkinan kemurtadan. Kajian-kajian kontemporer cenderung berdiri dalam salah satu kubu dan jarang mempertemukan kedua pandangan secara dialogis, khususnya dalam konteks teologi evangelikal Indonesia. Artikel ini bertujuan menyusun sintesis biblis-teologis terhadap perdebatan tersebut melalui kajian pustaka dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis. Sumber yang digunakan mencakup teks Alkitab, literatur teologi sistematika, dan ar…

Spiritualitas Anak Digital: Integrasi Pneumatologi dan Pendidikan Kristen Anak Usia Dini di Era 4.0
type: item
description: Young children today are growing up as digital natives who are increasingly exposed to digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), including various forms of AI spiritual meaning that may influence their faith development. This study aims to integrate Pentecostal pneumatology with early childhood Christian education in order to cultivate a contextual spirituality within the digital era. Employing a qualitative theological-literature approach, the study analyzes relevant works in pneumatology, digital theology, and Christian education. The findings indicate that the Holy Spirit should be understood not as a source of spiritual data or algorithmic guidance, but as a living and active divine Person who nurtures children through authentic experiences of faith, such as prayer, worship, and loving relationships. Meanwhile, digital technology functions as a supportive pedagogical tool rather than a substitute for divine activity. This study concludes that Christian education should promote a holistic model of faith formation by positioning the Holy Spirit at the center of children's spiritual growth while engaging digital technology in a responsible and constructive manner. Abstrak Anak-anak usia dini saat ini tumbuh sebagai digital natives yang akrab dengan teknologi digital dan kecerdasan buatan (AI), termasuk berbagai bentuk AI spiritual meaning yang dapat memengaruhi pembentukan iman mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengintegrasikan teologi pneumatologi Pentakosta dengan pendidikan Kristen anak usia dini untuk membangun spiritualitas yang kontekstual di era digital. Metode yang digunakan adalah kajian teologis-literatur terhadap sumber-sumber pneumatologi, teologi digital, dan pendidikan Kristen anak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Roh Kudus harus dipahami sebagai Pribadi yang hidup dan aktif membimbing anak melalui pengalaman iman yang nyata, sementara teknologi berfungsi sebagai sarana pendukung, bukan pengganti karya ilahi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan…

Disrupsi Epistemologis AI dan Rekonstruksi Onto-Epistemologi Pentakostal dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen
type: item
description: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education is no longer limited to technical functions but has increasingly influenced how students access, process, and construct knowledge, including within the context of Christian Religious Education (CRE). For the Pentecostal tradition, this development raises important epistemological questions concerning the relationship between the use of AI and the formation of faith, which is grounded in the work of the Holy Spirit and the life of the faith community. This study employs a qualitative library research approach that integrates educational philosophy, Pentecostal theology, and the philosophy of technology to examine the epistemological implications of AI for CRE. The findings indicate that the use of AI has the potential to influence how learners construct epistemic authority, engage in educational relationships, and develop theological reflection when employed without an adequate theological framework. In response, this study proposes the Spirit-Revelation Community-Based Education (SRCBE) model, which positions AI as a pedagogical support tool within the framework of Pentecostal pneumatology and ecclesiology. Within this model, AI functions as an instrument that facilitates learning without replacing the authority of Scripture, the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit, or the formative role of the faith community in shaping theological knowledge. The primary contribution of this study is the development of an alternative onto-epistemological framework that enables the critical integration of AI into Christian Religious Education while preserving the distinctive epistemological foundations of the Pentecostal tradition.

Artificial Intelligence sebagai Hermeneutical Partner: Rekonstruksi Hermeneutika Pentakostal dalam Studi Alkitab Digital
type: item
description: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on Large Language Models has fundamentally transformed the practice of biblical studies. AI can now perform linguistic analysis of Greek and Hebrew, compare manuscript variants, synthesize exegetical literature, and map intertextual relationships within seconds. These capabilities raise an urgent hermeneutical question: how should the Pentecostal tradition, which places the illumination of the Holy Spirit at the center of biblical interpretation, position this technology within the interpretive process? This study employs a qualitative library research method combining content analysis and theological hermeneutics to reconstruct the Pentecostal hermeneutical paradigm in response to AI. The findings demonstrate that AI cannot be positioned as a biblical interpreter since it lacks spiritual consciousness, faith experience, and the capacity for theological discernment. However, AI is also inadequately understood as a merely passive technical tool, given its active involvement in data processing and knowledge synthesis. This study proposes the concept of hermeneutical partner as the theological position of AI in biblical studies, defined as an analytical partner that supports the exegetical process at the linguistic, historical, and comparative levels, while interpretive authority remains with Scripture, the church community, and the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit. This concept is formulated within the framework of Digital Biblical Theology, which integrates Pentecostal hermeneutical principles with AI's computational capacity without displacing the supremacy of divine revelation. Abstrak Perkembangan Artificial Intelligence (AI) berbasis Large Language Models telah mengubah praktik studi Alkitab secara fundamental. AI kini mampu melakukan analisis linguistik bahasa Yunani dan Ibrani, membandingkan varian manuskrip, menyintesis literatur tafsiran, dan memetakan hubungan intertekstual dalam hitungan detik. Kemam…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) dalam Dunia Pentakosta dan Misi
type: item
description: The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant impact across various domains, including ecclesiastical ministry, theological education, and evangelistic strategy. Within the context of Pentecostalism, the integration of AI raises distinctive theological questions, as this tradition places the work of the Holy Spirit at the center of faith and church practice. This article examines the role of AI in Pentecostal life and mission through theological, ethical, and missiological approaches. The study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with two main components: a literature review of theological, digital ethics, and contemporary missiological sources, and a critical analysis of two case studies the BlessU-2 blessing robot developed by the Evangelical Church in Germany and the use of chatbots in Christian campuses and modern churches. The analysis demonstrates that AI can function as an instrument that extends the reach of mission in accordance with the mandate of Acts 1:8, yet it lacks a pneumatic dimension and therefore cannot replace the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding, transforming, and equipping the faithful. This article argues that Pentecostal pneumatology provides a distinctive evaluative framework for assessing the limits and potential of AI in ministry, namely the principle that the role of AI is instrumental rather than substitutive of the Holy Spirit's work. Strategic recommendations are proposed for churches and theological institutions to develop digital literacy grounded in theological accountability and Christian ethics. Abstrak Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan (Artificial Intelligence atau AI) membawa perubahan yang signifikan dalam berbagai bidang kehidupan, termasuk pelayanan gereja, pendidikan teologi, dan strategi penginjilan.

Pemanfaatan Artificial Intelligence yang Bertanggung Jawab dalam Pelayanan Rohani: Kerangka Etis bagi Kepemimpinan Kristen di Era Digital
type: item
description: The rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed various dimensions of Christian ministry, ranging from church administration to theological research and digital communication. While these advances create new opportunities for ministry, they also raise important ethical questions regarding the appropriate use of AI in spiritual leadership. This article examines the ethical challenges, moral risks, and opportunities associated with the responsible adoption of AI within the context of Christian ministry. The study employs a descriptive-analytical literature review complemented by theological reflection on recent scholarship concerning AI, digital ethics, and Christian leadership. The findings indicate that AI can enhance ministry effectiveness through administrative support, theological research, congregational data management, and digital communication. At the same time, uncritical reliance on AI may weaken spiritual disciplines, diminish the authenticity of the pastoral voice, and increase the risk of disseminating inaccurate theological information. The study also identifies shadow AI the unauthorized or non-transparent use of AI outside institutional oversight as an emerging ethical concern that threatens ministerial accountability and the security of pastoral data. This article argues that AI should be understood as a tool that supports ministry rather than a substitute for a living relationship with God or the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Its primary contribution is the development of an ethical framework for the responsible use of AI, grounded in transparency, moral accountability, digital literacy, spiritual discipline, and wisdom as essential virtues for Christian leaders in the digital age.

AI dan Pohon Pengetahuan: Pembacaan Teologis-Pentakostal tentang Discernment di Era Digital
type: item
description: The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has not only transformed the ways people process information but has also raised new theological questions concerning the nature of knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual discernment. Within the Pentecostal tradition, these developments are closely related to the capacity to discern the will of God, remain attentive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and interpret reality through the lens of faith. This study employs a constructive theological approach that integrates narrative hermeneutics, theology of technology, and Pentecostal pneumatology to interpret AI through the symbolism of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in Genesis 2–3. The Eden narrative is understood not as a literal identification of AI with the forbidden tree, but as a theological pattern that reveals humanity’s tendency to pursue autonomous knowledge apart from dependence on God. The study advances three principal arguments. First, AI represents a form of calculative knowledge that differs fundamentally from biblical wisdom because it is detached from relationship, character, and obedience to God. Second, the modern worldview, with its emphasis on empirical rationality, tends to diminish the two-realm worldview that underlies Pentecostal spirituality, thereby obscuring awareness of the spiritual dimensions of technological development. Third, the digital environment shaped by algorithmic logic can become a sphere of spiritual contestation that influences moral orientation, human affections, and patterns of spiritual dependence. The primary contribution of this article is the development of a Pentecostal theological framework that brings together the Eden narrative, spiritual discernment, and spiritual warfare as an interpretive lens for understanding AI. This framework offers a perspective that remains largely absent from the existing literature on the theology of technology while proposing *prophetic discernment* as a constructive Pentecost…
