Kajian Biblika Rightly Dividing dan Penafsiran Dispensasional Berdasarkan Kajian Teks 2 Timotius 2:15
Dispensational Theology is a way to understand God's relationship with humans in the provisions that have been set (dispensations) where God has stated it to be done in the course of history. The purpose of this writing is that Timothy is required to carefully teach the Word of God that he has received from Paul to distinguish between true teachings and false teachings that entered the Ephesian church at that time. Classical dispensationalism uses the basic meaning of rightly dividing from 2 Timothy 2:15 as a method of interpretation to divide the Bible according to dispensations or periods. The writing uses the method of literature and exegetical analysis to find the true meaning of the phrase rightly dividing to see if its meaning is to divide the periods in the Bible. Exegesis follows the flow of John D. Grassmick which includes five principles of interpretation which are areas that focus on contextual and textual. Each of the above points will explain the true meaning of rightly dividing in the text of 2 Timothy 2:15 and provide validity to the claims of some Dispensationalists regarding the Dispensational method of interpretation of dividing the Bible into periods or dispensations. From the exegesis of the text of 2 Timothy 2:15, it turns out that the word oikonomia or dispensation is not found. The results of the analysis with five principles of interpretation found that the meaning of rightly dividing is not in accordance with dividing the Bible into periods or dispensations but how to teach the Word of God correctly according to the teachings passed down by Paul to Timothy to ward off false teachings circulating in the Ephesian congregation at that time. The emphasis of one word oikonomia or pretext (proof verse) cannot describe the whole of a complex theological system. A theology should pay attention to the whole Bible and the history and development of human culture. A proper interpretation technique is needed and the existence of the Christian community throughout the centuries needs to be considered.

Fasting in the biblical view is a form of sacrifice and self-restraint undertaken to draw closer to God, show contrition, and prepare oneself to receive divine guidance. This is reflected in the example of Jesus who fasted for 40 days in the wilderness before beginning His ministry (Matthew 4:1-2). This fast not only demonstrated surrender to God's will but also emphasised the physical and spiritual endurance required. By refraining from food, including carbohydrates, sugar, and fruit, fasting helps control bodily desires and strengthens spiritual desires. It is a call to shift the focus from physical gratification to seeking a deeper relationship with God, as revealed in Joel 2:12-13.

Integrasi Roh Kudus dan Injil dalam Efesus 1:13 serta Implikasinya dalam Kehidupan Rohani Jemaat
This article is composed to explore the integration of the Holy Spirit and the Gospel in Ephesians 1:13 and its implications for the spiritual life of the congregation. The Holy Spirit is an important theological theme in the New Testament, particularly in the letter to the Ephesians. The Gospel is also a significant theological theme found in the letter to the Ephesians. Paul describes the synergy between the Holy Spirit and the Gospel in Ephesians 1:13. The Holy Spirit is depicted as a seal that legitimizes the Ephesians congregation as belonging to God. The Gospel proclaims God's salvation accomplished in Jesus Christ. When the Ephesians congregation believed upon hearing the Gospel, the Holy Spirit sealed them as God's own. This synergy has a positive impact on the life of the Ephesians congregation. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, the author attempts to elucidate the integration of the Holy Spirit and the Gospel as found in Ephesians 1:13. The author concludes that the spiritual life of the congregation can experience significant improvement due to the integration of the Holy Spirit and the Gospel.

Analyzing The Trinity In The Corinthian Church
The horizon of understanding the Trinity from the beginning of the church until now is still a subject of discussion that causes resistance. It takes place and is discussed among theologians and teachers of God's people. This cannot be separated from historical ignorance regarding the development of Christian doctrine. So it is deemed necessary to re-examine this noble subject by considering the methodology and history of its development. For later application in the Corinthian church. The hope is that this article can provide actual and contemporary understanding, even though it is not something new, through the presence of a thought that touches the depth of the problem. And giving birth to a conclusion focused on reconstructing the crucial point (the existence and existence of God in Christ). He approaches it with caution before expressing a theological opinion about the existence of God and His way of life. The findings show that the Corinthian congregation's understanding of God was only limited to a path to wisdom without knowing that Jesus was the God who saved humans throughout history. Applying it to the contemporary congregation, God's people must experience Jesus and accept Him personally in their faith. So that the understanding of Christ is rooted in the way God saves humans and can be accounted for historically.

Menguak Kisah Runtuhnya Tembok Yerikho dalam Bingkai Pemaknaan Kaum Pentakostal
Abstract The invasion carried out by the Israelites through Joshua's leadership to seize the land of Canaan was part of the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, where God had promised to give this land to his descendants. In fact, if you look at the geographical location of the land of Canaan in the context of a war strategy, the conquest of the city of Jericho apart from having the maximum impact on making it easier to control other territories, also gave a stern warning to all the enemies of the Israelites at that time. The selection of narrative qualitative methods as well as support from literature studies seeks to be able to provide a strong and structure picture regarding the reconstruction of the various events that preceded the fall of the Jericho wall, the story of the fall of the Jericho wall in Joshua 6, and the meaning of the Pentecostals from this story. In conclusion, for Pentecostals the story of the fall of the walls of Jericho is interpreted as the importance of believers having an understanding that God has a divine strategy in resolving every problem in life, praise is a divine tool that has power and is still very relevant for believers today, this story also teaches believers to always choose to live in obedience to God, as well as the importance of taking action as a step of faith.
