ROM.12.5
-
Glossary Term
Church
The same word serves the hierarchical, sacramental Catholic ecclesiology and the presbyterian/congregational Reformed ecclesiology; keep Romans 16's local gathered-congregation sense distinct from either institutional polity model.
ROM.12.4-5
-
Doctrine
Church as God's People
The new covenant community gathered around Christ, distinct from either the hierarchical Catholic or presbyterian Reformed institutional polity model.
ROM.12.4-5
-
Doctrine
Separation unto God's Service
Low risk of conflation with a specialized religious class; both Catholic and Reformed traditions generally apply this to every believer's devoted service.
ROM.12.1-2

ROM.12.6-8
-
Glossary Term
Spiritual Gifts
Reformed and Catholic Hungarian traditions both generally read spiritual gifts cautiously compared to Pentecostal/Charismatic traditions, a smaller presence in Hungary; ensure gifts are read as Spirit-distributed enablements per Romans 12, neither reduced to a charismatic-only framework nor dismissed as cessationist without textual basis.
