Tupamahu challenges mainstream pentecostal interpretations that regard missionaries as pivotal characters in the Acts narrative. Alternatively, he suggests an interpretation focusing on migrants as the primary characters in the Acts narrative. In this article, these two opposing views are framed using an approach known as contrapuntal reading. The goal is not harmonization to reduce the tension between the two but to expand the horizon of the readers of Acts through the uniqueness of each reading.","PeriodicalId":43699,"journal":{"name":"Pneuma","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of this subsection shows that Barth conceives of this “baptism” as a person’s conversion, the beginning of human faithfulness toward God. As such, it is very different from typical pentecostal construals of the doctrine, which perhaps accounts for the surprising paucity of pentecostal engagement with this subsection. This essay presents a detailed analysis of Barth’s doctrine and shows that it includes significant resonances with pentecostal doctrine, despite obvious differences. It argues that Barth’s doctrine might help Pentecostals retain the charismatic and missional emphases of their doctrine within a broader theology of the Spirit’s work in the Christian life. The essay suggests several points of dialogue between Barth and Pentecostals in which both parties might benefit from the other’s insights, illustrating this possibility with a larger discussion of the issue of subsequence.","PeriodicalId":43699,"journal":{"name":"Pneuma","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reference coheres with other primitive (pre-Pauline) references such as Rom 1:3–4 and with Paul’s earlier teaching on the Spirit (as in Rom 8:11). In a letter that seems otherwise sparse in its pneumatology, 1 Tim 3:16 is important for understanding the relationship between the Holy Spirit and Jesus’s identity, and I suggest that the mention of the Spirit here informs the way that the statements in 4:1–5 should be read, and the way that the letter’s overall portrayal of truth and falsehood should be understood. I will discuss the interpretation of 1 Tim 3:16—4:5, proposing a pentecostal reading of this section of the letter, one that takes seriously the vindicating role of the Spirit in Jesus’s resurrection as a model for believer’s future resurrection, one that coheres with the pneumatology of earlier Pauline epistles, and one that coheres with the treatment of false teachers and demonic spirits in other New Testament texts.","PeriodicalId":43699,"journal":{"name":"Pneuma","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142190865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may be more a specific model of mission to which Dr. Tupamahu objects, rather than every model of mission. In fact, as dialogue provides clarification, I suspect we have significant common ground. The colonial model of mission followed the model of Paul’s rivals in Galatia; Paul proclaimed the kingdom good news in a way that did not impose extrabiblical Jewish culture on gentiles.
