This paper presents the discursive thinking of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20. A correct understanding of the Great Commission is needed so that the implementation of the preaching of the gospel in society is not arbitrary, let alone cause conflict. This study in exploring the discursiveness of the Great Commission was conducted using a qualitative approach. Retrieval of data in the literature related to the topic in this paper. This research concludes that the discursive Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ is one of the culmination of all the biblical foundations for evangelism to develop faith that comes from the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles with different emphases. The results of the study conclude that the Gospel of Matthew 28: 18-20 emphasizes that disciples who are weak in faith are empowered to evangelize with the promise of God's participation until the end of time. Abstrak Tulisan ini menyajikan pemikiran diskursif Amanat Agung Matius 28:18-20.

Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa Injil Matius 28: 18-20 menekankan, para murid yang dalam keadaan lemah iman diberi kuasa untuk melakukan penginjilan dengan janji penyertaan Tuhan sampai akhir zaman.

Gospel preaching is the duty of every believer to be carried out not a mandate for certain people, such as pastors, pastors or evangelists. But this preaching of the gospel is a direct mandate from God for believers. But some of the believers do not have a correct understanding of this noble task and thus ignore it. Based on the above problem, Matthew 28: 16-20 is discussed so that every believer is able to understand and apply the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ. The biblical text is one part that teaches about missionary service for this world, which is to make all nations disciples of Jesus Christ. This study uses a qualitative study of biblical literature with a literal-grammatical-historical-contextual interpretation approach and considers highly correlated Bible texts, and describes them so as to be able to provide an understanding of Jesus' commands to make disciples. Every believer needs to grow in faith and his knowledge of God. Thus believers will be enabled to do His commandments. The Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a choice but a necessity to do. The message that must be conveyed is that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and on the third day He rose and ascended into heaven.Pemberitaan Injil adalah tugas setiap orang percaya yang harus dilaksanakan bukan mandat bagi orang-orang tertentu saja, seperti para gembala, para pendeta atau penginjil. Tetapi pemberitaan Injil ini merupakan mandat langsung dari Allah bagi setiap orang percaya. Namun sebagian dari orang-orang percaya tidak memiliki pemahaman yang benar mengenai tugas mulia ini sehingga mengabaikannya. Berdasarkan masalah di atas, maka Matius 28:16-20 dibahas supaya setiap orang percaya mampu memahami dan mengaplikasikan Amanat Agung Tuhan Yesus Kristus. Teks Alkiktab tersebut adalah salah satu bagian yang mengajarkan tentang pelayanan misi bagi dunia ini, yaitu menjadikan segala bangsa murid Yesus Kristus. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kualitatif literatur biblika dengan pendekatan teori tafsir literal-gramatikal-historikal-kontektual dan mempertimbangkan teks-teks Alkitab yang sangat berhubungan, dan mendeskripsikannya sehingga mampu memberi pemahaman tentang prinsip-perintah Yesus untuk menjadikan murid. Setiap orang percaya perlu bertumbuh dalam iman serta pengenalannya akan Allah. Dengan demikian orang-orang percaya akan dimampukan untuk mengerjakan perintah-perintah-Nya. Amanat Agung Tuhan Yesus Kristus bukan suatu pilihan tetapi keharusan untuk dilaksanakan. Berita yang harus disampaikan adalah bahwa Yesus Kristus telah mati, dikuburkan, dan pada hari ketiga Ia bangkit dan naik ke sorga.

In attempting to make the case that the defining reason the books of the New Testament are considered sacred is because of their focus on the unique identity of Jesus Christ, we have explored the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and writings of Paul. We turn now, with the same conviction, to some of the remaining New Testament books. Our goal here is not to consider every book of the New Testament but to make the case that in the vast majority of them, their proclamation of Christ is central and defining. The books we will focus on in this chapter include Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 1 John, and Revelation, taken in the order in which they appear in the canon. Despite the evident literary diversity of these texts, there is a commanding unity—a unity grounded in their focus on the figure of Jesus Christ. It is that varied but unifying portrayal found in these books which will command our attention in this chapter.

This project explores how the Evangelical Pentecostal Church (EPC) in Croatia is making disciples of Jesus Christ today. The goal is to demonstrate that despite the worldwide and local deficit in effective disciple making, the EPC has the resources and potential to live in obedience to the Great Commission. This has been shown by looking at the historical definition of a disciple, exegeting Matthew 28:16-20, exploring the proper context of disciple-making, and interviewing several members of the EPC. Upon examination, while there are multiple causes for the lack of disciples in Croatia, the primary problem is that of what will be called naive disobedience. It will be argued that local churches in the EPC have not been taught how to properly make disciples. By presenting the importance of teaching, relationships and practicing the spiritual disciplines, it will be demonstrated that a solution to the lack of disciple-making exists within the EPC.

This research discusses the pastoral leadership of Jesus Christ as written in the Bible to be applied in the Pelita Dunia Theological Seminary. So that every graduate produced can understand and practice correct pastoral leadership in accordance with the teachings and actions of Jesus Christ. This study uses a qualitative approach that combines a literature review with the results of interviews with several alumni. Through this research, information was obtained that Jesus' pastoral leadership based on the explanations in the Gospels is clearly visible in three ways, as Jesus' pastoral leadership carries out God's vision and that means that every pastor also carries out God's vision, Jesus' pastoral leadership reaches out to the lost and improves relationships and that means every pastor also reaches out to the lost congregation and mends broken relationship with God, and pastoral leadership Jesus disciplines and sends and that means every pastor disciplines and sends the congregation to preach the gospel. In addition, this study also concluded that Pelita Dunia Theological Seminary should include and teach Pastoral Leadership to every student in order to produce graduates who can serve like Jesus.

Kristologi adalah merupakan pokok terpenting dalam ajaran iman Kristen. Kristologi juga bisa disebut sebagai pusat kekristenan itu sendiri, dengan itu kristologi adalah pusat dari ilmu theologia. Karenanya mempelajari Pribadi dan karya Kristus, berarti sedang berada pada pusat theologi Kristen. Yesus Kristuslah yang memberikan identitas kepada kekristenan, yang sekaligus membedakannya dari agama atau kepercayaan yang lain. Keistimewaan doktrin ini terletak dalam pribadi dan karya Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhan yang menjadi finalitas jalan menuju kepada keselamatan yang kekal. Pemahaman yang benar terhadap doktrin kristologi tidak lepas dari pengetahuan yang sehat terhadap Alkitab, sebab Alkitablah satu-satunya sumber utama yang dengan jujur dan terbuka memberikan kesaksian mengenai pribadi Yesus sebagai juruselamat dunia. Memang realita historis tulisan-tulisan di dalam Alkitab itu ditulis oleh manusia, akan tetapi proses penulisannya diilhami oleh Allah melalui pimpinan Roh Kudus sehingga apa yang diucapkan atau ditulis sesuai dengan kehendak Tuhan (bnd. 2Tim 3:16). Alkitab secara keseluruhan dipercaya dengan akurat dalam mengambarkan Yesus Kristus. Akan tetapi dalam prosesnya banyak ditemukan bahwa kristologi yang dihasilkan bertentangan dengan Alkitab. Sejarah membuktikan bahwa gereja selalu berhadapan dengan pengajaran-pengajaran sesat yang menyerang gereja dari dalam. Dalam hal ini berbentuk ajaran-ajaran (doktrin) yang menyesatkan atau bidat-bidat yang menyelewengkan ajaran murni Alkitab. Bahaya ajaran-ajaran sesat ini tidak saja timbul pada abad-abad belakangan ini, melainkan sudah ada sejak gereja didirikan. Karenanya penulis hendak menguraikan kristologi yang akan menjadi dasar apologetika di era postmodern sekarang ini.   Christology is the most important point in the teachings of the Christian faith. Christology can also be called the center of Christianity itself, so that Christology is the center of theological science. Therefore studying the Person and work of Christ, means being at the center of Christian theology. It is Jesus Christ who gives identity to Christianity, which also distinguishes it from other religions or beliefs. The specialty of this doctrine lies in the person and work of Jesus Christ as Lord who becomes the finality of the path to eternal salvation. A correct understanding of the doctrine of Christology is inseparable from a healthy knowledge of the Bible, because the Bible is the only major source that honestly and openly testifies about the person of Jesus as the savior of the world. Indeed the historical reality of the writings in the Bible was written by humans, but the process of writing was inspired by God through the leadership of the Holy Spirit so that what was said or written was according to God's will (cf. 2Tim 3:16). The Bible as a whole is believed to be accurate in describing Jesus Christ. However, in the process it was found that the resulting christology was in conflict with the Bible. History proves that the church is always dealing with false teachings that attack the church from within. In this case the form of teachings (doctrines) are misleading or heretics who distort the pure teachings of the Bible. The danger of these heresies has not only arisen in recent centuries, but has existed since the church was founded. Therefore the author wants to elaborate on the Christology that will be the basis of apologetics in the current postmodern era.

Abstract: This research is a qualitative study on abortion from the perspective of Christian faith. This research was conducted to provide academic arguments and scientific references for the Church against the rampant abortion practices and practices, especially in big cities including Jakarta. Using a qualitative approach, it is found that from a Christian ethical perspective, the act of abortion cannot be justified and chosen as an ethical decision because it contradicts or is contrary to the teachings of the Bible. Because God so loves human life and is even willing to send His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem humans from sin. So that humans are not justified in ending the life of an innocent and wronged baby just for practical reasons. Abstrak: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif terhadap aborsi ditinjau dari perspektif iman Kristen. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memberikan argumentasi akademis dan referensi ilmiah bagi Gereja terhadap maraknya tindakan dan praktik aborsi terutama di kota-kota besar termasuk Jakarta. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dijumpai bahwa dari perspektif etika Kristen, maka tindakan aborsi tidak dapat dibenarkan dan dipilih sebagai keputusan etis karena bertolakbelakang atau berlawanan dengan ajaran Alkitab. Karena Allah begitu mencintai kehidupan manusia bahkan rela mengutus Anak-Nya yang tunggal, yaitu Yesus Kristus untuk menebus manusia dari dosa. Sehingga manusia tidak dibenarkan mengakhiri kehidupan bayi yang tidak berdosa dan besalah hanya karena alasan-alasan yang praktis.

“Komparasi Eskatologi Injil Lukas dengan Injil Sinoptik Lainnya,” adalah subyek penelitian memberikan eksplanatori mengenai pemikiran-pemikiran teologis dari Lukas selaku penulis Injil Lukas dan Kisah Para Rasul, khususnya yang membahas tentang pemikiran-pemikiran atau pengajaran mengenai doktrin akhir zaman (eskatologi) yang dikomparasikan dengan Injil Matius dan Injil Markus, sebagai serangkaian kelompok dari Injil Sinoptik. Adanya kemiripan kata-kata, dan urutan bahkan isi/peristiwa yang hampir sama di antara ketiganya, serta kepentingan daripada doktrin akhir zaman, memberikan keunikan bagi masing-masing Injil, secara khusus bagi Injil Lukas itu sendiri. Disamping bermaksud untuk menyatakan keunikan dan perbedaan dari Injil Lukas dibandingkan dengan Injil Sinoptik lainnya, penelitian ini juga bermaksud memberikan informasi atau penjelasan mengenai hal-hal yang memiliki koherensi dan relevansi dengan doktrin akhir zaman yang dimaksud dalam subyek penelitian ini, di antaranya seperti perlunya menyentuh tulisan Lukas dalam Kisah Para Rasul, dan pembahasan mengenai Kerajaan Allah dan Kerajaan Sorga serta hal-hal lainnya. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengejawantahkan maksud di atas, maka penulis melaksanakan kajian terhadap beberapa ayat Alkitab dan pandangan para pakar dalam mengadakan pendekatan terhadap ayat-ayat eskatologi yang terdapat dalam ketiga Injil Sinoptik tersebut. Dengan pendekatan tersebut, maka hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan, di antaranya adalah bahwa Lukas menyusun Injilnya serupa dengan Markus, hanya saja terdapat penambahan pemahaman Lukas secara pribadi untuk menekankan nuansa yang berbeda dari tulisannya tersebut. Adapun mengenai istilah Kerajaan Allah dan Kerajaan Sorga, jika Markus dan Lukas konsisten menggunakan frase Kerajaan Allah, sebaliknya Matius menggantinya dengan istilah “Kerajaan Sorga,” meskipun memiliki pengertian yang sama, dengan maksud untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mudah bagi para pembaca asli kitab-kitab tersebut. Di samping itu, ketiga penulis juga menuliskan kedatangan Yesus pada masa yang akan datang sebagai bagian penting dalam pemenuhan janji berkat Kerajaan Allah secara sempurna, sehingga tidak ada keraguan akan masa yang akan datang mengenai kedatangan Kristus kali kedua. "Comparative Luke's Gospel Eschatology with Other Synoptic Gospels," is the subject of an explanatory study of the theological thoughts of Luke as the writer of the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles, especially those which deal with thoughts or teachings about the end-time doctrine (eschatology) which are compared with the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, as a series of groups from the Synoptic Gospels. The similarity of words, and the order and even the contents / events that are almost the same between the three, as well as the interests of the end-time doctrine, provide uniqueness for each of the Gospels, specifically for the Gospel of Luke itself. Besides intending to express the uniqueness and difference of Luke's Gospel compared to other Synoptic Gospels, this study also intends to provide information or explanations about things that have coherence and relevance to the end-time doctrine referred to in this research subject, including the need to touch writing Luke in the Acts of the Apostles, and a discussion of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven and other things. Therefore, to embody the above purpose, the author carries out a study of several Bible verses and the views of experts in approaching eschatological verses contained in the three Synoptic Gospels. With this approach, the results of this study explain, among them is that Luke composes his Gospel similar to Mark, only there is an addition to Luke's personal understanding to emphasize the different nuances of his writing. As for the terms of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, if Mark and Luke consistently use the phrase Kingdom of God, instead Matthew replaces it with the term "Kingdom of Heaven," even though it has the same meaning, with the intention to provide an easier understanding for the original readers of the books that. In addition, the three authors also write about the coming of Jesus in the future as an important part of fulfilling the promise of God's perfect blessing, so that there is no doubt about the future about the second coming of Christ.
