Abstract

Abstract. Currently the issue of Holy Communion for children is still being debated in several churches. Meanwhile, the Javanese Christian Church (GKJ) has implemented Holy Communion for children through a synod decision. Therefore, this study is intended to examine theologically the Holy Communion for children. This study will examine the issue from a Calvinist theological perspective. The results of this study showed that the GKJ's decision to hold Holy Communion for children is not a form of rebellion against Calvinist theology, but rather an effort to contextualize and be open to theological reform.Abstrak.

Abstract

Occultism is a belief in dark powers, spiritual forces outside of God's power. Some members of the community practice occultism, such as belief in the spirits of the dead, talismans believed to protect the body, and immunity skills passed down by ancestors, which cause their descendants to suffer from frequent manifestations and possessions by evil spirits. Some STT Abdi Sabda Medan students are still bound by occultism, affecting them physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Therefore, there is a need for counseling for healing and recovery from their occultism attachment. This paper examines the need for counseling through pastoral counseling theories. The author conducted qualitative research and gathered data by interviewing seven students who were previously bound by occultism and experienced manifestations. They were also served by the Abdi Sabda Medan deliverance ministry team. Of the seven students, five recovered completely, three of whom joined the deliverance team, two did not join, and one is not yet fully recovered, while another refused to release their occult attachment. The author also interviewed Jaharianson Saragih, the deliverance ministry team's mentor, to strengthen the field data. This study aimed to explore how pastoral counseling is conducted on STT Abdi Sabda Medan students bound by occultism.

Abstract

This article explores the Second Coming of Christ from a Reformed theological perspective, emphasizing its significance as a source of hope rather than fear for believers. Rooted in the authority of Scripture, Reformed theology understands eschatology as the culmination of God’s redemptive work, integrally connected to the doctrines summarized in TULIP. The study highlights the biblical meaning of Parousia as the visible, glorious return of Christ to judge humanity and inaugurate the new creation. While Scripture affirms that the exact time of Christ's return is unknown, it calls believers to live in vigilance, holiness, and obedience. Drawing from key passages such as Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 5, Titus 2, and Romans 13, the article underscores the practical implications of eschatological hope namely, moral readiness, spiritual sobriety, and active participation in God’s calling. Reformed churches teach that preparedness does not involve speculative predictions but faithful living grounded in grace. The study rejects sensationalist or fear-based eschatology and instead promotes a balanced understanding that motivates believers toward sanctification, perseverance, and joyful expectation. Ultimately, the Second Coming is presented as the fulfillment of God’s promise, inviting Christians to respond with faith, love, and steadfast commitment as they await Christ’s return with confidence and joy.
