As an AG minister I really appreciate this video. Very clearly stated out doctrine. Simple. Good job!!!
Being Raised in the AG and now in my 50s, you did a great job hitting the main points of this Fellowship.
i love the clariety and purpose of this presentation,this will usher in some solid understanding A G .
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
I thank God for being part of this great family of Gods people! #AG4LIFE
You really do such a great job of these videos..they're always well-researched and well presented. Thank you for your efforts. I'd love to see some stuff on the Mennonite denominations and the Schwarzenau Brethren...also the Exclusive Plymouth Brethren and the Bruderhof...just some ideas from a Traditionalist Jew who loves your videos.
What a blessing this video is! Great overview of fundamental beliefs of AG. Greetings from AG church in Michigan!
Though I do not entirely agree with everything AG, I am so grateful for everything my AG mentors and teachers invested into me. I am the man, the believer, and the witness into the lives of others because of the Spiritual wisdom and discernment instilled into me because of those God sent AG teachers in my life. I am confident in what I need to know about my own salvation, and I am able to evangelize to others because of those AG mentors. If anyone needed me to pray for them right now on the spot or pray over food or any event I can confidently do so, because of AG roots and what they sowed into me.
Thank you for clarity. God bless and HE calls us to a responsible and Godly living. But finally HE is the judge ⛪⛪⛪⛪
Yes! Thanks for sharing
Excellent summary of our A/G position. I recommend your channel to others as giving excellent summaries of denominational differences.
Thank you 🙏, Praise the Lord 🙏
A Paz do Senhor Jesus 🙏🏻🕊
Yes thank u very clear understanding
I grew up going to an Assemblies of God, then switched to a southern Baptist Church, then started going to a larger First Baptist Church (which I love), then shortly started going to a lot of different Pentecostal churches and non-denominational churches, and visited various Church of Christ churches.
Interesting path, thanks for sharing a bit of your story! I'll be putting out another video on Assemblies of God in the first half of this year and planning to do one on the SBC before the end of the year.
I grew up in the Assemblies of God. Well, from age 5 to 14 my family were
members of the Pilgrim Holiness denomination. Then we switched to the Assemblies of God.
God Bless☺️
by cj not sh... our ag was in financial trouble... i went to pastor with a suggestion. he started hollering about him being the chief financial officer and the chief executive officer and he was the head of the church and no one made any decisions but him. i ducked as i looked for lightning... and we quietly made our exit. sad. i then understood why we had gone through several splits..
The pentecostal church of Chile (most are methodists pentecostal but from other denominations too, especially congregations like a salvation army or alliance world fellowship, but all from the revival of Valparaiso) believe the same what Assemblies of God believe :0 but we haven´t had contact with assemblies of God in Chile, that´s awesome
Conocés a una Iglesia de Dios (de Cleveland, Tennessee, EE.UU.) allá?, Fuy a un culto como chico en una iglesia de esta denominación en Valparaíso en 1978. Es posible que fuera en Viña del Mar.
I was baptized in the AG. Greetings to my AG fellows.
Greetings from a Brazilian AG, we até The biggest protestant denomination here by the way
I grew up Assembly of God and basically everything is correct except if someone is giving a message in tongues they just give it and then someone or that person will interpret it if it’s to be interpreted. Now idk about everyone else but my family dresses very very Pentecostal only cause it’s a conviction but we live to our Assembly of God Pentecostal name
My old AG fellowship did the tongues and interpretations thing. It happened so often that after a while it started to seem fabricated and disingenuous. Especially when it was the same person every time it happened.
The fellowship I currently volunteer for rarely does tongues and interpretation, if ever. In the last four years I’ve been here, I haven’t heard a single public message in tongues.
I have some credentials in the AG, but I’m really not a fan of how die hard they are about speaking in tongues. Over time they seem to be getting even more zealous about it which doesn’t sit too well with me
In my AG church the spirit would manifest in multiple people, so the person that started the message wasn't the same one that ended the message. Then somebody else would interpret the message. Our senior pastor would then caution the assembly and would say that every message had to lineup with scripture. If something was out of place he told us to beware deceiving spirits.
Can you make a review about Bethel Church Redding California??
Paul said that tongues is least of the gifts,that being so it should be the easiest to move in to but I have seen others have other gifts but not speak in tongues they are good gifts that God gives severally as he will be thankful for whatever you have
Incorrect, nowhere in Scripture does Paul make the statement that tongues are the lest of all gifts. He does, in 1 Corinthians 14, explain the role of tongues in the church, and though he says that he "speaks in tongues more than you all," he states that he would rather speak five words in that church's language than a thousand words in an unknown tongue, so that when the Gospel is preached, it may be understood by unbelievers who are present.
I am 64 years old and have been associated with the Assemblies of God since I was 5.
One of most important lessons I have learned over the years is "Don't judge scriptural truth by the behavior of people."
I think it is the behavior of some people in the past that has left a bad taste in people's mouths when it comes to Pentecostalism. There have been mentally and emotionally unstable people drawn to the Pentecostal movement, but that doesn't mean that Pentecostal truth is false.
In all four gospels, Jesus is introduced into His public ministry as "the Lamb of God" who takes away the sins of the world, and "the baptizer in the Holy Spirit." The apostle Paul says in Galatians 3 that Christ redeemed us so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Finally, Jesus Himself spent considerable time near the end of His earthly ministry in preparing His disciples for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
So Spirit-baptism is not some unimportant, peripheral issue. It is at the very heart of the gospel itself. The question was, and is, how will I know when the Holy Spirit has come upon me? How will I know when I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit? It was searching out the answer to that question in Scripture which resulted in the return to seeking the promise of the Father - the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for such a fair-handed coverage of this subject.
Good morning. AG Worship pastor in the state of Iowa here. I wanted to discuss with you the topic of spirit-baptism. I do believe that we all have the Holy Spirit within us at the moment of salvation. The belief I struggle with that the General Council has pushed for years is that you aren’t not baptized by the Holy Spirit until you speak in tongues. Fortunately, I’ve received this gift. But the AG has really planted their flag on this and made it almost equal to salvation, which I’m hesitant to believe. But my question is, why so much emphasis on the gift of tongues? Did not Paul say that some would not receive this gift? Yet, the AG, in my recent understanding, will not even allow credentials to those who have not yet received the gift of tongues.
there is a difference between the gift of divers tongues and the evidence of speaking in tongues
Water baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is baptism of the Holy Spirit. The idea of a second "baptism of the Holy Spirit" apart from water baptism is heretical nonsense.
@@RepublicofE water baptism is to spirit baptism the same as salvation is to sanctification. Just because you don’t like something or don’t understand it, does not make it heresy
@@Tyler-Hoskins No, it would be more accurate to say that water baptism is to the Lord's Supper as salvation is to sanctification, though that's still not completely accurate.
These videos are most helpful. The various logos remind me these organizations have become professionally oriented, like businesses and ball teams. I'm most interested in the position of each on divorce and, especially, remarriage.
The AG has a position paper on this topic on the website.
Hi, im an AG pentecostal. I just subscribed to your channel. May i know what denomination are you making part?
Here is a new believer here. What's the official website for Assemblies of God's doctrine, please?
I’m glad speaking in tongues differs between churches because some Pentecostal churches go wild.
Praise the lord
I want associate with assembly of God
And I want to have online classes for bible study what should I do for that sir
oooh....and Christadelphians...I've never been able to figure them out.
What about Tithe brother?is it compulsory to give tithes in Assembly of God churches?
Nice video
Am not a member in this doctrine but The holly spirit directed me to it.I have no ideas about it how can I get helped.
Growing up in the AG, I rarely questioned its doctrines. In adulthood I started going to a different church for reasons unrelated to doctrine that is quite theologically similar to the AG. The older I get and more voices I hear outside of the AG, the more I see that they take a very eisegesis approach to morality that is much more rooted in their early 20th century founding than what scripture actually says. Particularly with alcohol, they take the stance that because alcohol CAN be dangerous and the Bible says drunkenness is wrong, the Bible must mean that it should be avoided totally. But here's the thing, that's an antibiblical view. Ecclesiastes says that it is good to be merry and drink with friends. Jesus turned water into wine. 1 Timothy acknowledges alcohol's medical use. Proverbs has a lot to say about alcohol, and not only just warnings of drunkenness like the AG pretends. Chapter 104 says that wine makes the heart glad. A true exogesic reading of scripture quite clearly says that drunkenness is a sin, but that consumption of alcohol itself is not only acceptable but occasionally encouraged. Now take this example and apply it to most things that were on the minds of people form 1890-1910 and you get the official stance of the AG on most things, and many of them are just plain not Biblical.
The quote beginning at 6:30 is a great logical interpretation of much of scripture, but the thing is that you can't just logic your way through the Bible. This is a perfect example and has resulted in a straight up anti-biblical teaching.
Thanks, found this video useful. Grew up in an AOG church but currently worship at a Baptist church.
I agree with a believer's immersion baptism
What does assemblies of God teach on how to find a spouse and or godly marriage?
I was in AoG and heard very few messages on marriage, heard a lot on giving them money though. The modern day AoG is extremely far from what the denominationnused to be. There are still some Godly members though.

08:49 How do Assemblies of God Baptize?
10:09 What do Assemblies of God believe about Salvation?
12:36 What do Assemblies of God believe about the Rapture
They do not believe in unconditional eternal security but believe you can choose to depart from the faith . They do believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues . They do not believe God chooses who he will save and who will be dammed. No alcohol or drugs .Trinity , Yes . Baptism by emersion as Jesus ordered his followers in to do . Salvation through Grace by Faith in Christ's finished work of the cross .They believe in a pre tribulation Rapture .

Where is the main head corters of assembly of God in Sacramento CA
The National headquarters are in Springfield Missouri. The California district headquarters are in Irvine California.
Question for Joshua or anyone able to answer: is alcohol prohibition/abstinence typical across Pentecostalism, or is it an AG distinctive?
I've generally seen complete abstinence from alcohol as the official position of most classic Pentecostal groups. Congregations or individuals may think and practice differently.
I was a P.K. and teetotaling was big in my household. I was confused when I went to another P.K.'s house in the same denomination one day and the dad (a minister) popped open a can of Pabst (or similar).
Historically, Pentecostals across the spectrum were relatively legalistic, such as prohibiting alcohol. The AoG isn't as legalistic as it once was, but it still retains some of that, such as opposition to alcohol. But, even that is fading.
I am A/G member in Atlanta -Georgia how can l locate A/G near me
Most churches that believe in speaking in tongues are Holier than thou thinking even if they don't say it! It's like we are Holier ! Always pushing tongues!
I agree with all the AG doctrines, except pre-trib rapture. Matt 24:29-31; Mark 13:24-37;
I agree with Arminian belief
I do not believe the abstinence of alcohol is not currently the AG position. I’ve only ever heard moderation preached. Likewise, I’ve only never heard Jesus his first miracle Stated as turning water into wine. I have heard pastor’s note that wine is traditionally used in Jewish weddings
It is the current position, most recently reaffirmed in 2016 ag.org/Beliefs/Position-Papers/Abstinence-from-Alcohol
news.ag.org/news/general-presbytery-reaffirms-ags-position-on-alcohol
Are they saved even though they csa kids
The only problem I have with the AG is their doctrine of the initial physical evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues; whereas,
Jesus gave the result of the baptism in the Holy Spirit as recorded in Acts 1:8 💥
Acts 2 . 4 is the baptism
It is not a MUST REQUIREMENT & it is not forced on our members. The message of SALVATION supercedes the gifts
Lots of love from South Africa (AOG)
Its important to note that the thief on the cross next to Jesus died BEFORE Christ arose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Thus the New Covenant didn't apply to him. At Pentecost, the current way of how to be saved started, which INCLUDES water Baptism (Acts 3:37-40) also Mark 16:15-16. It's always astounded me that Pentecostals (who are named after the Event at Pentecost) don't understand and practice this.
"alchohal being a normal part of life" you could make the argument the ancients drank more wine than water 😂
Born and raised in an assemblies of God church, of course my Dad is the minister and later become the regional superintendent.
Now I am a spiritual person and I don't belong to any name or company or group. I am a child of God.😇
I’m very interested in this. I grew up, and still go to, the same AoG church. I’ve been there my whole 34 years of life. But I feel like we are not really Pentecostal.
We don’t have tongues speaking, yet we technically “affirm the gifts of the spirit, including tongues”. We don’t have running around, or “prophecy shouting” or anything like that.
Growing up we had a few people that would shout in tongues every week. Then about 20 years ago our pastor taught that there shouldn’t be tongues without an interpretation and it coincidentally stopped.
We have a very scripture grounded, expositional pastor. And even though I’d probably consider myself more of a reformed Baptist at this point, I almost never have an issue with the teaching. Most of us also believe in eternal salvation as well, which is apparently not AoG belief.
Assembly of God believes in salvation, they believe in the scripture “he that endureth until the end shall be saved” and that’s why they can’t agree with baptists because Baptist preach “once you’re saved you’re always saved” which is not found in the Bible anywhere.
Baptist think that you are deemed “saved” when you get baptized, and even though I think that is the starting point of you getting saved I believe that God desires us to live a life for him rather than living a life for ourselves just because we got baptized at 9 years old and we think we can do whatever we want and still be saved.
@@daltonmilburn2772 Baptists do not believe that baptism saves.
@@daltonmilburn2772 I think you need to clarify what you are talking about. Baptist is a very broad theological heading. AoG would fall into the Baptist camp.
I must assume you are referring to the SBC. The standard in the SBC should not be baptismal regeneration. Look into the Stone Campbell movement and the SBC if you want history on the topic.
It is most likely a lack of doctrinal understanding that causes so many in the SBC to divorce perseverance of the saints (once saved always saved) from the rest of reformed theology. Clearly Scripture teaches that a truly saved person is known by the fact that they continue to follow and glory God until the end. This is true for both Arminians and Calvinists, the two sides just understand the reason you continue in your faith differently.
@MansterBear
Praying in tongues does not have to be interpreted
Speaking in tongues needs to be interpreted because that's the message through the Holy to the church
Lots of love from South Africa(AOG)
@@seawater18 Most Baptists I've known don't believe "the gifts" are for today. Most Pentecostals would reject being categorized as Baptists.
What if you never got baptized but still speak in other languages.
I didn't say tongues cause for me it sounds like a language
Salvation is a gift from God. He would never take that back. Now, there is such thing as a fault convert
Does AG believe that an organic mute cannot be baptized in the Spirit?
Do you believe Jesus can heal a mute?
@@carlgrant6109 Yes, does AG believe that an organic mute that has not yet been healed can not be baptized in the Spirit?
im not A.G. but I do know speaking in tongues is the first evidence of the Holy Ghost baptism
As far as I can tell, AoG believes no tongues then no "baptism in the spirit", even for a mute.
@@jamesreed5678
Yikes!
Do Assemblies of GOD baptize in JESUS NAME? That is the only question I have that wasn’t answered in the video. Otherwise, I think the video was very thorough.
They baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The answer is technically yes, but they also baptized in the name of the father and the Holy Spirit.
The AG does not forbid alcohol in the global AG church.
I remember when I was still a teenager one Sunday i went to assemblies of God in mpumalanga province one old woman pulled my ears trying to remove my earnings she was very angry because I was wearing them at church she also curse me for wearing a transparent dress I was young by then and no one looked after me I hate going to church
So sorry - don’t give up. Jesus still loves us -The Church in spite of our failings. On behalf of the Church -please forgive us.
Do AG churches resemble the Word of Faith hyper-charismatic churches? There's a United Pentecostal church near me and I've tried watching their service online, but I get big Kenneth Copeland vibes from the "God as your personal ATM" preaching and prayer.
It's really off-putting when the people leading 'worship' are saying, "You know why you're here today-uh! You're here to receive something-uh! Maybe it's help with your finances-uh! A new car-uh! A better job-uh! A healthier marriage-uh! Jesus is in the room with you-uh! He's passing through-uh! And he's gonna give you what you want-uh! Hallelujah-uh!"
I had planned to do a tour this summer of all the local churches in my hometown, which are mostly a split of evangelical and mainline congregations, but I'm crossing that one off the list for now. I'm curious if an Assembly of God church would be similar to this.
They have a specific CORRECTIONAL MINISTER ?
WoW ! How medieval…(or cultish?)
I took this to indicate a prison minister. You're not opposed to that I hope.
@@troywagner7551 Well, no. But I’m not so sure that you are correct about that meaning ??
@@troywagner7551. Out of curiosity, I still relistened to the whole video… statement in question occurs about 3:34
Although, based upon the context surrounding this, I still find it unclear what is meant… perhaps you are right, although I still « hear » it differently ?
It’s not a big deal to me personally, or I’d research the minister mentioned to find out.
Thanks for your reply.
AG members not drinking alcohol is news to me. My whole family drinks on occasion, a couple of beers at a family gathering or glass of wine. Never heard it spoken about all my years at church from 0 to 16, and that was despite the fact I usually opted to attend the adult services over the kids church services on sundays
Another thing- i was baptized as an infant, at an assemblies of god church. When I was about 12 I decided I wanted to be baptized again since I was able to make the choice myself.
How Assemblies Of God explains what Archeology vs. Religions.
there is no secret rapture as presented by John Nelson Darby and Cyrus Scofield and the left behind series. Jesus comes back only once to gather His church, and it isn't going to be quietly
The pretrib rapture is rank nonsense. It's absurd that the AoG points to imminence statements to prove a pretrib rapture. No such statement is connected to the verses they say are references to the rapture. And, imminence itself is contracted if something didn't happen imminently. But, we're talking about a non-Christian cult, so don't expect anything but BS.
How about handling those serpents, drinking poisons? If speaking tongues is valid today, why not those in Mark 16:17,18?
Im a cessationist.. i do not believe speaking in tongues as it is in Pentecostal practice ( mindless jibber jabber with no way to interpret any of it) is what the apostles really experienced. I believe they spoke and uttered in actual foreign languages that they had no way of knowing before ( ie. If i could suddenly speak in russian)
My ex took me to one bible study at an AG church and after being lectured that masturbation leads people to the beast I never went back.
They said i was possessed
One phenomenal part of growing up AoG is the one person in almost every group that fakes tongues. Loved it.......
Fake is fake. Fake is funny.
Let us just remember the bible told us not to speak in tongues in public and at the most in front of 2 or 3 people. This aspect of the denomination makes AoG a cult. I never understood growing up why we overlooked this scripture to rattle off nonsense to impress others.
Where does the bible state this
I attend a United Pentecostal Church. We’re oneness Pentecostal. The difference between us and the Assemblies of God is we don’t believe in the doctrine of the trinity (1 Timothy 3:16), for salvation we must obey Acts 2:38 and repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in tongues, and we believe in inward and outward holiness (Hebrews 5:9, 1 Timothy 2:9)
I just finished editing a video on UPCI, should be out in December. 👍
Scripture is condradictory though
AofG that I've attended are all over the place and totally confusing. Not for me
In what way?
@@midlifemama8420 Tongues, slain in the Spirit, dancing, running around and stuff that distracted from the message. Some AofG had an almost anything goes attitude and different interpretations of Scripture.
@@pappap1702 that’s not necessarily exclusive to AG. I’ve seen some Baptist and Nazarene churches do that
@@Tyler-Hoskins I've never attended a Nazarene church but their doctrine doesn't allow that. I've never seen it at any Baptist church and I've attended Baptist churches in many different states.
@@pappap1702 elevation church is baptist and they can be pretty charismatic in that way. There’s a Nazarene church in my hometown that’s quite charismatic. All I’m saying is that it’s not exclusively an AG thing as much as it’s generally a Pentecostal thing
2033: REST OH FAIR, THERE IS LITTLE LEFT.
Biblical symbology reveals to us that for God a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand
years as a day; therefore, in the person and work of the Lord Jesus himself, his
reappearance is revealed on the morning of the third day (beginning of the third millennium,
21st century). Sacred Scripture also reveals that the time given to the Church's mission is
two days (two thousand years), which end in 2033, since the Church was founded in the
year 33. The next facts that will impact the world are: 1- The uprising of the world ruler
(antichrist). 2- Martyrdom of Christians and the rapture of the Church. 3- The third world war
and the great massacre of the Jewish nation by Russia. After these three episodes, Christ,
THE KING OF JERUSALEM, will descend together with his saints, on the mount of olives,
for the implantation of the millennial government (Rev. 19:15). The war and its end will take
place according to Zechariah 14: Israel on the brink of extermination, and the annihilation of
world military forces. Thus will be the second coming of the one who was killed and revived.
In this glorious episode many will die, but others will be preserved on earth. Being the
conqueror of all armies, the world comes to belong to Christ, the King of Jerusalem. (Rev.
11:15). Now, we, incorruptible disciples, for a thousand years, will reorganize planet earth
(the only planet with intelligent life). 1- The Judiciary System will be extinguished. 2- Police
and armies from all over the world will have new and unique command. 3- Traffics and
militias will be extinguished, now Christianity reigns in the scepter of the Gospel. 4- Nobody
else will say my door or my house, everything will be from the conqueror of the valley of
Armageddon. 5- The Creator of the coronavirus, will exterminate all pests, automatically
sentencing Science to its end. 6- The world speaks one language again (Gen. 11: 1). 7- We
will not eat meat, there will be no blood shed in the personal kingdom of Jesus Christ. 8- All
pagan temples, catholics, spiritists, assemblies of god, baptists, and movements called
evangelicals will be sealed at the disposal of the Great King of Jerusalem, and no spiritual
entity will ever be mentioned again. Truth and justice assume their throne over humanity.
Soon, after the coronavirus, we will have hunger, pests, plagues, and a class of self-loving
political leaders who, like leeches, will not get enough of their robberies and murders, taking
advantage of catastrophes to get rich, they have until 2033 to adjust accounts. The
curriculum of the faculties will undergo changes, and my brothers and I will witness in the
Universities, where all the Constitutions will be extinguished, and the Glorious Gospel of the
Kingdom will be taught to all people, then the end will come (Matt. 24:14).

You have to be an AoG member to sp wake in tongues at church. Sad
Not exactly. Speaking a “word” in tongues for interpretation, typically whatever the local pastor allows in the congregation of believers. So, if he/she believes the person speaking loudly in tongues is not speaking a word, they will shut them down. Otherwise people can freely speak in tongues in church when appropriate: during worship or at an appointed time, for example.
I think you’ve got it a little backwards. You don’t have to be in the AG to speak in tongues. But to hold any sort of office in the AG you have to believe in the “initial physical evidence” of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. A concept I wrestle with quite regularly within my doctrine
@@Tyler-Hoskins I go to AoG, this video says they won't let you use tongues 8n church unless your a member
@@steeb8053 I’ve taken classes in my district on AG history, governance and doctrine. I’ve read and recited the sixteen fundamental truths of the Assemblies of God AND have gotten familiar with the general council bylaws. And never have I been informed that speaking in tongues was strictly for members of the congregation. I haven’t had a chance to watch the whole video yet. But if that’s what is said in the video, then it’s simply not true.
@@Tyler-Hoskins It isn't true, you're correct. But, to my point, I don't have it backwards. And, there are many AG pastors who take a more Vineyard approach to being less "vindictive" sounding regarding the concept of speaking in tongues. Though....I wonder if people realize that their gift should be employed.
You lost me with pre-tribe doctrine...The great tribulation and the Wrath of God are two different things. That will never change for Pentecostal denominations...oh well moo such thing as pre-tribe
What does Paul have to say about the whole thing
Speaking in Tongues today is nonsense. I belonged to a, Pentecostal Church, saved, baptised in water, baptised in the Spirit, spoke in Tongues. There is nothing miraculous about it. It is made up language that anyone can do. I was uncomfortable with it from day 1. Don't worry they said men speak in tongues not God. When you open your mouth God gives you the words. Its rubbish. Pure emotionalism. I don't pretend to understand speaking in tongues in the New Testament. The one thing I am sure about is that God does not inspire people don't do it today. Its just made up gibberish masquerading as the Holy Spirit.
May God have mercy on your soul
@@bonniejcraycraft3740 Actually you want me punished not mercy. Come on tell the truth.
I am so grateful to be out of this cult like denomination. It only left me with shame, guilt, and anxiety.
Sounds like a fellowship issue. Not necessarily a doctrinal one
You escaped a three god cult.
@@thejewishredneckprepper4675 what?
@@Tyler-Hoskins It is a doctrinal issue because the doctrine of tongue speaking being the initial evidence of "holy spirit baptism" leaves anyone who can't speak in tongues (read: everyone, since the gift of tongues ceased shortly after the death of the apostles) constantly fretting about their state of grace.
Even though the AG is more moderate on the matter of tongues than other Pentecostal bodies and view tongue speaking more as a matter of full sanctification than salvation as such, the fact is that tongue speaking as practiced in Pentecostalism is unbliblical nonsense that leads many away from the faith altogether.
What Baptists don't realize is that they helped open the door for Pentecostalism by rejecting the sacraments as offering salvation. Faith yearns for something external to cling to. That's why Christ instituted baptism and the Lord's Supper. By considering these things to be merely symbolic the Baptists left a void which was then filled by the Pentecostal idea of tongue speaking. That's why there's so much overlap between Baptist and Pentecostal family and social circles.
Baptists try to get around this dilemma of concern over one's state of grace by teaching eternal security, which is not Biblical(well, it is, but not the way Baptists teach it). The Arminian view of salvation isn't Biblical either but they are at least correct in teaching that salvation can be lost, the problem being that like the Baptists they still hold to decision theology which is the ultimate salvation heresy.
Moreover, since people outside the Christian faith can plainly see that modern tongue speaking is manipulative nonsense (barring highly exceptional cases that almost certainly don't exist), and acceptance of it has spread so far into other denominations that aren't Charismatic or Pentecostal (virtually every so-called non-denominational church will at least tolerate it), that leaves our unbelieving neighbors to see Christians as generally being superstitious weirdoes who lack critical thinking skills.
@@RepublicofE I never said that I agreed with the AG’s position on tongues. However, unless you can provide scripture to support your claim that tongues have ceased, I’m afraid my only option is to disregard your claim, as critical thinking would have me do.
John 17:24-25 " ...for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; "
The whole passage is IN THE PAST. In the passage we can see a WORLD vs. JESUS CONFRONTATION : in this confrontation Jesus succeeded in knowing the Father, whilst the world FAILED instead. But WHY did the world fail ? The easy answer is in the same passage : the Father is "before the foundation of the world". Since the Father is BEFORE, He is antecedent and therefore cannot be known by the world: in other words Father and world did not exist at the same time. This means that Jesus WINS this confrontation: on the contrary He is ABLE to know the Father. Why? Of course because Jesus is OLDER than the world and was thus able to know the Father. This means that no other Being saw God. "No one has ever seen God" (John 1:18). The meaning of all that is extremely important : the almighty GOD ONLY EXISTED IN THAT REMOTE PAST.
This is why the Father is NOT AVAILABLE here: the only way to "somehow" see the Father is to SEE JESUS (see the answer to Philip). The almighty God cannot "disappear" though: He dropped his power (this is where they differ) and became like a normal man : Jesus "He who has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). Thus, now Jesus is ALONE and has "all things into his hand" (John 3:35). This is why the Father is here just in the LIMITED FORM of a spirit ("God is a spirit" John 4:24).
(When you have someone on the phone, he is in LIMITED FORM in your room, you can talk to, but not touch him).
They also believe in three gods.
Explain further?
Trinitarianisme
@@Perririri explain to me how you consider that three separate gods though?
Jews believe in 2 Gods then because the prophets were inspired by the spirit of God when they wrote scripture. If the spirit of God is a second God like they claim it is in Christianity, then Jews have 2 Gods. Makes no sense.
So what is Paul talking about in Corinthians where he tells the people I am glad that I speak in tongues more than all of you but I would rather speak five words with my intelligence than $10,000 in an unknown tongue where it upsets the church you needed interpretator what does Paul mean here Paul is just being gracious to this new church that started in Corinthians and he was being gracious just like Christ was if you read this it goes on to talk about the women they can't even speak in church there to be silent if they want to know anything they should learn it from their husband and at home and when you look at Pentecost it was more of a gift of ears than it was tongues everyone heard in their own language
I'm sorry but I believe that the Pentecostal Assembly of God which is what I was born in and raised in I believe now after learning the truth that it's a cult not one doctor that they believe is biblical in my opinion after my studies and I'm 62 almost 63
