Solidaritas Pneumatis yang Melampaui Dialog Doktrinal: Model Companionship Hyuk Cho sebagai Kerangka Dialog Antaragama Pentakostal di Indonesia
Abstract
Interreligious dialogue often falls into two problematic poles for Pentecostal communities: negotiating truth claims that can easily turn into apologetic competition and normative pluralism suspected of eroding Christological particularity. This tension is acute in Indonesia, where Pentecostal missionary commitment meets the demands of living together in a multireligious society. Prior studies offer hospitality, religious moderation, and social theology as paths of engagement but have not linked grassroots dialogue praxis, Pentecostal pneumatology, and solidarity with suffering within one theological framework. This article examines Hyuk Cho's Companionship Model through critical-constructive theological research, drawing on Cho, Paul F. Knitter, and Amos Yong, alongside Indonesian Pentecostal scholarship through 2024, analyzed through conceptual mapping, immanent critique, and contextual synthesis. It argues that the Model can be contextualized as pneumatic Companionship, a grammar-shifting dialogue's starting point from judging other religions' status toward shared presence, discernment, solidarity, and public witness amid concrete suffering, without severing the Spirit's relation to Christ and the Kingdom of God. Its novelty enables non-coercive, transformative dialogue without abandoning theological identity.
Abstrak
Dialog antaragama sering ditempatkan pada dua kutub yang problematis bagi komunitas Penta-kostal: negosiasi klaim kebenaran yang mudah menjadi kompetisi apologetis dan pluralisme normatif yang dicurigai mengikis partikularitas kristologis. Ketegangan ini kuat di Indonesia, ketika komitmen misioner Pentakostal berjumpa dengan tuntutan hidup bersama dalam masyarakat multireligius. Kajian sebelumnya membahas hospitalitas, moderasi beragama, dan teologi sosial, tetapi belum menghubungkan praksis dialog dari bawah, pneumatologi Pentakostal, dan solidaritas terhadap penderitaan dalam satu kerangka teologis. Artikel ini menelaah Model Companionship Hyuk Cho melalui studi kepustakaan kritis-konstruktif, dengan korpus Cho, Paul F. Knitter, dan Amos Yong, serta kajian tentang Pentakostal Indonesia hingga 2024, yang dianalisis melalui pemetaan konseptual, kritik imanen, dan sintesis kontekstual. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa Model Companionship dapat dikontekstualisasikan sebagai Companionship pneumatics, tata bahasa dialog yang memindahkan titik berangkat dari penilaian status agama orang lain menuju kehadiran ber-sama, discernment, solidaritas, dan kesaksian publik di tengah penderitaan konkret, tanpa memu-tus relasi Roh dengan Kristus dan Kerajaan Allah. Kebaruannya terletak pada model praksis ini, yang memungkinkan Pentakostal Indonesia berdialog nonkoersif dan transformatif tanpa me-nanggalkan identitas teologisnya.
