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' (trusting Christ, through faith and
repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines
of the AG]
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 Salvation that empowers believers for
witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament
times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
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, to build up
or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human
need with ministries of love and compassion.
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 AG]
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 AG]
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 Earth that 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!'
