Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths
|
|
The Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths is a description of the doctrines that the Assemblies of God adhere to. These doctrines are heavily based on the evangelical confessions of faith, but differ by being clearly Pentecostal in many of their doctrines.
Statements 1-6 are common confessions in any traditional Christian denomination.
Statements 7 and 8 diverge from traditional Christianity by taking a more modern and Pentecostal view of the work of the Holy Spirit.
The AoG believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is manifest by Speaking in Tongues.
The subject of Divine Healing is addressed in Statement 12. The official Church teaching is that Christ paid for all physical suffering with his atoning work. As a consequence, when a Christian does get sick he/she apparently can be healed from their sickness or infirmity by the Holy Spirit.
Statements 13-16 deal largly with the subject of eschatology. The AoG adheres to a Futurist stance that is clearly of the dispensationalist camp.
