From the perspective of Pentecostal Theology, the doctrine of Creation gives special insights into the positive aspect of its scripture-based theology. The reason is that Pentecostal Theology is firmly based its foundation on the authority of Scripture. The historical events of the Bible include the universal signification that is applicable regardless of the bounds of time and space. Particularly, the nature of this theology makes one understand what creative theology is through which one experiences creative action of the Holy Spirit manifested by human action within the horizon of time and space to testify Jesus as the Lord and Savior. This is creative action which occurs in the relationship between divine action and human action. Hence, the doctrine of Creation in the light of Pentecostal Theology gives us proper understanding of the creative work of God in the world. Ever since the creation of the world by God, how do we perceive and experience the creative work of God through the Spirit? In this very moment, what does the Holy Spirit create and achieve within the bounds of time and space? Pentecostal Theology implies and puts emphasis on the intimate relationship with the work of the Holy Spirit. In dealing with the creative work of God, the area of the creative ministry of the Holy Spirit is one of the most attractive theological themes to us who are living the generation of grace since the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. However, how do we meet and experience the Holy Spirit and His creative work in time and space? In this matter, we do encounter the diastasis between the bipolar relationality between time and eternity, body and spirit, and God and man. It is certain that God created this world and exists within this realm and wants to communicate with all the things within it. The crux of the matter is how we meet and communicate with Him. The thesis of this paper is to work on these questions to get convincing answers.
