Assemblies of God

The following links consist of files discussing the doctrines of the Assemblies of God Pentecostal Church. If you have any comments on any of the material, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail by clicking on my name at the bottom of this web page. Updated information will be added as it becomes available.

NB: Even though some of their 16 beliefs are quite sound (except numbers 1, 8, 12 & 14), please note that they make no mention of Sabbath observance. Also, note their special emphasis on the gift of tongues. This is a minor gift and is not necessary to "prove" that you have the Holy Spirit working in your life. Obedience to everything that you know God has said is the acid test of whether you have the Holy Spirit or not.

Also note that there are two types of emphasis in each descriptive file in this section. False doctrines are underlined while important points are in bold. Please remember this as you read the information!

Preamble

The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. This Statement of Fundamental Truths is intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us (i.e., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Corinthians 1:10 [KJV/NIV]; Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]). The phraseology employed in this Statement is not inspired nor contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full-gospel ministry. No claim is made that it covers all Biblical truth, only that it covers our need as to these fundamental doctrines.
