Statement of Faith
We Believe...
in the Bible as the Inspired Word of God
(II Timothy 3:15,16; II Peter 1:20,21)
in the redemption through the Blood of Christ, His bodily resurrection, His ascension and His priestly ministry
(Hebrews 7:24-25;Ephesians 1:7; Acts 2:31-33)
in justification by Faith and the New Birth as essential for personal salvation
(Galatians 2:16; John 3:5-7)
in the infilling of the Holy Spirit, with the initial physical evidence of speaking with other tongues, giving power for service and manifesting the fruit and gifts of the Spirit
(Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Galatians 5:22,23; I Corinthians 12, 14)
in healing for the body as provided by Christ's death
(Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)
in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
(II Timothy 4:1; Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)
in the eternal destiny of man in either Heaven or Hell according to his acceptance or rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.


Two years after the founding of the Assemblies of God, members adopted 16 beliefs for the Fellowship. This list, known as the Statement of Fundamental Truths, remains virtually unchanged. Four of these beliefs are considered the major tenets of the Fellowship. They are:

1. Salvation Through Jesus Christ (John 3:3, 16, 17; Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8, 9)
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.
   
2. Baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8; 2:4; 17, 18, 38, 39)
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
   
3. Divine Healing for the Sick (James 5:14-16)
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

4. The Second Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52)
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
