What We Believe

These are nonnegotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches  adhere to. This list is derived from the official Statement of Fundamental  Truths. Click links below to see the complete original statement with  scriptures.

 
1. WE  BELIEVE...The  Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for  mankind. 
2. WE  BELIEVE...There  is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy  Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).  
3. WE  BELIEVE...In  the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human  and divine.  
4. WE  BELIEVE...though originally good, Man  Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and  spiritual, into the world.  
5. WE  BELIEVE...Every  Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines  of the A/G] 
6. WE  BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water  Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving  Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy  Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's  suffering and death for our salvation.  
7. WE  BELIEVE...the  Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvationthat  empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New  Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G] 
8. WE  BELIEVE... The  Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in  Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced  throughout Acts and the Epistles.  
9. WE  BELIEVE...Sanctification  Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a  believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from  evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.  
10. WE  BELIEVE...The  Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We  believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who,  throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of  religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.  
11. WE  BELIEVE...A  Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church.  The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to  reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up  or edify the body of believers–the Church. 
12. WE  BELIEVE...Divine  Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided  for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1  of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]  
13. WE  BELIEVE...in The  Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died  will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians  who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4  cardinal doctrines of the A/G] 
14. WE BELIEVE...in The  Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His  second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This  millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the  establishment of universal peace.  
15. WE  BELIEVE...A  Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They  will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing  lake of fire.  
16. WE  BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New  Heavens and a New Earththat Christ is preparing for all people,  of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there  forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be  with the Lord!'
