“…Thirdly, Pentecostals believe that God wants all humans to have social well-being (Anderson 2020). Hence, Pentecostals raise money through tithing and special offering not to enrich pastors but to empower others (Asuquo 2020). The unfortunate thing is that most of the time these activities are misused by those who want to enrich themselves instead of empowering the people in communities.…”

Pentecostalism is a Christian tradition known for personal salvation, baptism in the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, divine healing and personal encounter with God through the work of the Holy Spirit. However, Pentecostalism is not limited to these; the tradition also ministers the full gospel that affects a holistic person, meaning body, soul and spirit. This article demonstrated that the holistic salvation approach is a motivation for social entrepreneurial activities in the selected neo-Pentecostal churches in South Africa. The article worked within the social entrepreneurial framework to argue that the neo-Pentecostal churches minister to their followers holistically. Pentecostalism transforms people’s lives in daily living, particularly the poorest of the poor communities through entrepreneurial orientation. The researchers’ methodology was a case study approach of four neo-Pentecostal churches in South Africa that have shown social entrepreneurship factors. In addition, the participant observation method was used in highlighting entrepreneurial activities in these churches.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article examined the role of neo-Pentecostal churches in social entrepreneurship through a holistic salvation approach to Pentecostal theology by using a case study method. This role is a juxtaposition between the study of Pentecostalism from a missiological discipline and the study of social entrepreneurship from the discipline of economics, particularly social economics.

Abstract. This study was to explore the meaning of money in the Charismatic Pentecostal perspective. The method used was descriptive analysis through literature study. Through this study it was concluded that the Charismatic Pentecostals see the money is not merely needed to meet the daily life needs, it’s also as means of service to God. Service to God itself is not limited only in the form of ecclesiastical ministry, but also includes every work to promote a good life in this world.Abstrak. Penelitian ini berusaha mencermati pemaknaan uang dalam prespektif Pentakosta Karismatik. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analisis melalui kajian literatur. Berdasarkan kajian penelitian ini kaum Pentakosta Karismatik berpandangan bahwa uang selain dibutuhkan untuk mencukupi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari, uang juga sebagai sarana pelayanan kepada Tuhan. Pelayanan kepada Tuhan itu sendiri tidak dibatasi hanya dalam bentuk pelayanan gerejawi, tetapi mencakup juga setiap karya untuk mewujudkan kehidupan yang baik di dunia ini.

Abstract. Pentecostal churches are known to put more emphasis on the spiritual aspect of their teaching than on the social aspect. The social activities carried out are also more widely understood as a means to win souls. This paper aimed to recollect the awareness of the Pentecostal spirit that cannot be separated from social solidarity. The method used in this study was an interpretive descriptive method on Acts 2:41-47. Through this study, it could be concluded that social solidarity is not a strategy to win souls, but is an inherent essence of a congregation filled with the Holy Spirit.Gereja-gereja aliran Pentakosta dikenal lebih banyak memberikan penekanan pada aspek rohani dalam pengajarannya dibandingkan terhadap aspek sosial. Kegiatan sosial yang dilakukan juga lebih banyak dipahami sebagai sarana untuk memenangkan jiwa. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengingatkan kesadaran akan roh Pentakosta yang tidak dapat dilepaskan dari solidaritas sosial. Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah metode deskriptif interpretatif terhadap teks Kisah Para Rasul 2:41-47. Melalui kajian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa solidaritas sosial bukanlah suatu strategi untuk memenangkan jiwa, namun adalah hakikat yang sifatnya inheren dalam diri jemaat yang dipenuhi oleh Roh Kudus.
