Our 16 Fundamental Truths
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. Visit www.ag.org to see the complete original
statement with scriptures.
-
WE
BELIEVE...The Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design
and plan for mankind.
-
WE
BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed in three
persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the
Trinity).
-
WE BELIEVE...In
the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both
human and divine.
-
WE
BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering
evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
-
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]
-
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.
-
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]
-
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.
-
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 Christ-like.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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]
-
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]
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!'
