Rather, when Paul talks about \u2018spirituals\u2019 or \u2018gifts\u2019 in 1 Corinthians 12 and elsewhere, Paul is simply offering a number of examples of ways that the Spirit uses and enables believers to minister.

That’s fine. But Pentecostals are trying to reach the lost and grow the kingdom.

Olson, \u201cMust You Believe in the Doctrine of the Trinity to Be a Christian?<\/a>\u201d Patheos (February 5, 2015).<\/strong><\/p>\n Rick Wadholm Jr<\/a>. writes: \u201cRoger Olson offers a thoughtful piece on the value of Trinitarian confession while still admitting its ultimately non-essential nature to being a Christian. This is suggestive, in my estimation, toward some form of reconciliation among Trinitarian and Oneness Pentecostals (and follows a similar angle as that of David Reed who is the foremost Oneness expert who is Trinitarian). I write this as one whose preaching, teaching, and writing is thoroughly Trinitarian, and yet holds sympathy for Oneness Pentecostal brothers and sisters.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cVeteran Pastor\u2019s Gentle Answers Turn Away Wrath in India<\/a>\u201d Christian Aid Mission (Feb 19, 2015).<\/strong><\/p>\n Working in an area where radical Hindus shut down public evangelistic events and nearly half of the residents are Muslims who prohibit leaving Islam, a pastor whose ministry has planted 200 churches appeared to be cornered when a journalist asked if he converts people. The question came as a proposal outlawing religious conversion was being drafted.<\/p>\n Jody Fleming, \u201cThe Faith and Praxis of Women in Missions in the Early Pentecostal and Holiness Movement<\/a>\u201d Asbury Journal <\/em>69\/2 (2014), pages 111-135.<\/strong><\/p>\n Abstract: Women in the early years of the Pentecostal and Holiness movement played a very important part in the advancement of local and world mission. This paper examines not only the contributions women made during this time period, but also the balance they had between their faith and the practice of that faith. This study includes a select group of women chosen for their comprehension of Christian faith and how it impacted their understanding for reaching out to the world around them. Some are better known than others, but each of their stories represents the impact of women on Christian missionary work of their day.<\/p>\n Chris McMillan, \u201cWhen Suffering Stays: The father of an ill son reflects on what faith looks like, even when the miracle doesn’t come<\/a>\u201d Vital <\/em>(March 12, 2015).<\/strong><\/p>\n Assemblies of God pastor, Chris McMillan reflects on the long road of suffering his family has journeyed and the hope we all may find in God, even if a miracle of healing does not come. “Whether it’s a disabled child, a physical affliction, mental or emotional turmoil, abuse or extreme poverty, suffering is part and parcel of our lives, even as believers.”<\/p>\n Craig Keener<\/a> introduces the full chapter he wrote for Paul\u2019s Missionary Methods <\/em>on the connection between Paul and spiritual warfare: \u201cThere are various dimensions of what people often call \u2018spiritual warfare,\u2019 but one dimension we sometimes miss is the mundane, day-to-day way we treat each other and walk with God … things like truth, justice, faith, sharing our faith, and so forth. That is, some of the very things that Ephesians 6 discusses when it talks about the full armor of God. Although I touch on some other elements of spiritual warfare, I emphasize here the practical, day-to-day dimensions involved. Of course, I still have much to learn in practice; but I believe you will find the Bible study helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n Jayson Casper, \u201cHow Libya’s Martyrs Are Witnessing to Egypt: Murders spark largest outreach ever amid new freedoms and new threats<\/a>\u201d Christianity Today Online <\/em>(February 23, 2015).<\/strong><\/p>\n William De Arteaga<\/a> writes: \u201cLook at what the Lord is doing in Egypt!\u201d<\/p>\n Darrin Rodgers<\/a>, \u201cPentecostal Evangel<\/a><\/em> Sparked Great Revival in Nigeria in 1930s\u201d Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center (March 26, 2015).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wesley Hill, \u201cThe Way God Conducts Us: Saved Through Childbearing?
