wHAT WE BELIEVE- 16 FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD

Inspired by God and declare His design for all mankind. 

2 Timothy 3:15-17

 1 Thessalonians 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:21

There is only One True God–revealed in three persons.  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10, 11

Matthew 28:19 and Luke 3:22

In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, as God's son, Jesus, was both human and divine. 

Matthew 1:23; 28:6, Luke 1:31, 35; 24:39;, Hebrews  1:3; 7:26, 1 Peter 2:22, Acts 1:9, 11; 2:22, 33; 10:38

 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Philippians 2:9-11

Though originally good, man willingly fell to sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. 

Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6, 

Romans 5:12-19

Every person can have restored fellowship with God through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).

Luke 24:47, John 3:3; Romans 8:16; 10:13-15,  Ephesians 2:8; 4:24, Titus 2:11, 12; 3:5-7

Practice two ordinances:

(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation. 

Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47, 48, Romans 6:4

 (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation. 

2 Peter 1:4; 1 Corinthians 11:26

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.

Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:42, 43; 4:8;  8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-15; 15:7-9,

1 Corinthians 12:1-31, John 7:37-39; Hebrews 12:28; Mark 16:20

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. 

Acts 2:4; 1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 28

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. 

Romans 12:1, 2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 12:14; 13:12; 1 Peter 1:15, 16

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. 

Ephesians  1:22-23; 2:22, Hebrews 12:23

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. 

Mark 16:15-20, John 4:23, 24; 3, Ephesians 4:11-16

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).
