Go to Google and type in Assembly of God. The first thing that shows is the Official Website of the A.G.s . Look at the top of the page and see "Beleifs"...put your cursor on there and- Viola! they have their statements and core beliefs.
Basically they are close to the Church of the Nazarene/Wesleyans in their Church Government and their Theology---Which is Arminian/Evangelical. The big difference is that they hold to the idea that Sanctification comes with the outward signs of "speaking in tongues". They also hold to the idea that healing is for Christians at this time.
They have a strong missionary effort (as do the Nazarenes), and they are NOT "liberals"....{how/why could they be liberals and still believe in missions?!---Liberals have nothing worth going on a "mission" for. }.
In President Bush's 1st Term his Attorney General- John Ashcroft ( The head of the Justice Dept.) was an Assembly of God member,,,and held voluntary Bible Studies in his office before work hours began---and it really made the newsies and the leftos in the Congress upset.  { It is amazing that when our government officials get sworn in to office they place their hand on a Bible and say: "So help me God."---Yet when someone actually says/does something that indicates they really believe what is written in The Book of Books,,, the "little foxes that spoil the grapes" are bound to start howling and yapping.}
Now the "usual suspects" are against Gov. Sarah Palin because she actually attends a church and believes in the Lord,,, Caution: Just because the Berlin Wall came down, does NOT mean that all the communists are dead. |
Hey PB
I knew about the asemblies of God's belief system, (I do not believe in tongues or healing as demonstrated by benny hinn, todd bently and the like) I had previously asked about Sarah Palin's Church from googling her and getting info about her Church life from wikipedia, but I do not take wikipedia as 100% truth as it can be modified by anyone. I have no position or agenda on this lady as I am from Northern Ireland and I dont understand the politicians here never mind those on your shores
