Opoku, Samuel Nhyira A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirement for the Award of the Master of Philosophy (MPhil.) Degree in Religious Studies. The New Testament presents diverse gifts which includes Christ’s Ascension Gifts found in Ephesians 4:1:1-16. These gifts are crucial in Penteco/Charismatic churches. However, there are misunderstandings of these gifts among Christians, attracting diverse opinions among biblical scholars. This is because there is emphasis on some of the gifts at the expense of others. This had led to a growing concern among some Penteco/Charismatic Christians over these gifts and their abuse in the church. This study undertook an exegetical interpretation of Ephesians 4:1:1-16, and also evaluated the understanding of the text among Penteco/Charismatic churches. The study revealed that though the gifts are supposed to work to ensure unity in the church, misunderstanding has resulted in disunity and abuse of the gifts. This has engendered various confusion among Penteco/Charismatic churches. Therefore, the study proposes that a proper interpretation of Ephesians 4:1:1-16 is a key to streamline the activities of the Christ’s Ascension Gifts and overcome the confusion thereof.
