Our Beliefs

Adapted from "our Sixteen Doctrines", published by the General Council of the Assemblies of God) The Bible is completely adequate by itself to serve as a guide for our beliefs and way of living. This paraphrased version of the Statement of Fundamental Truths is intended only to make the official statement more readily understood. The primary statement, as it appears in the Constitution of the Assemblies of God, is intended to be the common basis for the fellowship and unity of AG churches around the world, or as the Bible recommends, that we may agree with one another so as to avoid divisions because of disagreements on what we believe (1 Corinthians 1:10 and Acts 2:42). The Official Statement may be read in its entirety on the national Assemblies of God web site.

There is no claim that the wording of the statement is divinely inspired (as is the Bible), but the truth it sets forth is felt to be essential to a full-gospel, Bible-based ministry. Furthermore, there is no pretense that this statement contains all of the Bible's truth.
It merely covers some of the basic fundamental teaching thought to be vital to successful Christian living. Therefore, we believe…

1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God
2. There is One True God, Who reveals Himself in three persons;
   the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
3. The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God
4. Mankind sinned and fell short of God's glory
5. Mankind is in need of the Salvation of God
6. The Ordinances of the Church (Water Baptism and
   Holy Communion)
7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
8. Speaking in Tongues as the initial evidence of the
   Baptism in the Holy Spirit
9. Sanctification

1. The Ministry
2. Divine Healing
3. The return of Jesus Christ for His bride, the Church
4. The Millennial reign of Christ
5. The Final Judgment
6. The New Heavens and the new Earth
