Abstract

A biblical analysis of the role of women in ministry based on the Acts of the Apostles aims to examine the role of women in ministry from a biblical perspective grounded in the Acts of the Apostles. The method used in this study is hermeneutics, employing the principles of textual and historical exegesis. This study identifies several female figures in Acts, such as Mary the mother of Jesus, Tabitha/Dorcas, Mary (the mother of John Mark), Lydia, Priscilla, and Philip’s four daughters, all of whom played important roles in the ministry of the early church. The results of the exegesis show that, although Acts was written within the context of the patriarchal Jewish culture of its time, it nevertheless records the significant contributions of women to the development of the early church. These contributions included participation in prayer ministry, social ministry, hospitality ministry, church planting, teaching, and prophetic ministry. The implications of this study affirm that women today are also called to actively participate in various forms of ministry, both within the church and in the broader community, following the biblical model demonstrated in the Acts of the Apostles.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the Apostle Paul's teaching on the gift of the Spirit based on 1 Corinthians 12–14:1-25 and apply it to believers today. The research method used was hermeneutics with a grammatical exegesis approach, which includes the analysis of historical and logical contexts, as well as literature studies from various primary and secondary sources. The results of the research show that there are twelve gifts of the Spirit that Paul mentioned, namely: the gifts of speaking with wisdom, speaking with knowledge, faith, healing, performing miracles, prophesying, discerning spirits, speaking in tongues, interpreting in tongues, apostles, prophets, and teachers. The gift of the Spirit is given by the Holy Spirit to every believer for the common good and edification of the body of Christ, not as a measure of personal righteousness. The implementation of the gift of the Spirit for believers today includes: a correct understanding of the meaning of the gift of the Spirit, the application of biblical principles in its use, and the use of the gift to build, counsel, and comfort the congregation. This study recommends that every believer use the gift of the Spirit responsibly, in love, and in accordance with biblical principles, and be able to distinguish between the gift of the Spirit and the deviations that occur in church practice today.
