Not many differences other than leadership. AJ Tomlinson was horrible with money and used his own bank account for church funds. The church of God decided to end this, impeach him and go with a term limits. Certain churches believed in a “supreme leader” and chose to stay with AJ and later his son until his death in 1990 which led to another split, Church of God(Charleston, TN). Another one of his sons started the Church of God(Huntsville, Al) and appointed himself King of Men. Beliefs are pretty much identical and there has been talk of rejoining the COG for several years.
They both got started at Camp Creek in NC with same leaders in Cherokee Co NC. Fields of the Wood in Cherokee Co NC is an interesting Biblical theme park type location
When I came to the Lord I started going to an AOG church and over the years have been going off and on, with other churches being visited in between. Years ago the AOG taught about repentance, closeness with the Lord etc. These days, very little is taught about repentance or holiness. Also the AOG had an air of superiority, i.e. was better than other churches, which upset me no end. I have been to a number of "traditional" churches in between which I found more "humble" than the AOG. However the AOG beliefs, i.e. sanctity of marriage, anti-abortion etc I strongly agree to whereas the traditional churches seem to have lost their moral compass and too many compromises with the world are occurring.
You'll find the superiority complex in any denomination. I attended an AOG church for 16 years. And everyone tried to make new people feel welcomed to the congregation and to the church. Meanwhile, for a time in 2012 I attended a Methodist church that my cousin is the pastor of. I attended because my grandmother was dying, and that was the church she attended. So to maximize time with her, we went to her church. And every service we could feel the judgement of others. And we weren't the only ones to pick up on it. The first service following my grandmothers death; my cousin made a statement to his congregation about how even he felt that we were being judged for not being Methodists. In 2014 I moved states, and there is only one AOG church in the area. I attended a few sermons. But they never really put the effort out to make us feel welcomed. It was like a "hi welcome" and then never acknowledge the existence of again. So I stopped going. After that, I went to "the church" in the area that basically everyone who's name is known around here goes to. It's a Baptist church, and didn't have really any problems with it. The people were warmer than the local AOG church. Actually, one of the first things anyone there said to me was an invitation to their Bible Study. I went for a couple of months. But something kept saying to me in the back of my head "This isn't where you're supposed to be." So again, I went "church shopping." Have attended about half the churches in my area regardless of denomination over the course of about 5 years. Then I went to one. And the first sermon I attended that voice that kept going "This isn't where you're supposed to be" said "This is where you're supposed to be." Have been there since. And I can tell you, over that 5 year search, about 1/4 of the churches I attended had that same superiority complex. Some I only attended one sermon because I could see everyone looking at me and feeling the overbearing amount of silent judgement. And it was more or less evenly split between "traditional" and "modern" churches where I felt that. It also didn't matter the denomination. The church I now attend is officially "nondenominational." But if you walked in not knowing that you'd claim they were a Baptist church (which they basically are). And, even though that's the church I now attend. I still identify as a Pentecostal. And still attend the AOG church I attended for so long when I go visit family there.
@@ReinSouls I agree with you, every church is different and some are more dedicated to God than others, if someone judges a church solely on fact that another church of the same domination had an attitude problem, they may be missing out. I find myself going to AoG churches mostly and I have seen massive differences between them. The one that I am going to now is very friendly and interest in helping people with their walk in God. But others I have gone to in the past have been hit-or-miss.
@WarmPotato It depends on which ones. There are very devout and Cod fearing Catholics and very secular ones. I am not Catholic but I have met deeply committed Catholics who love God and Catholics in name only who just go to church to perform a cultural ritual. To their credit there are no Catholic churches marrying gay couples and none which accept abortion as a woman's right. Liberal Protestant denominations have caved to these matters, but the Catholic church has not.
So I have heard bill Johnson(bethel) Phil Robertson(duck dynasty) Alexander pagani( Alexander pagani ministries) come from the Assemblies of God background but I’m not sure if they still agree 100 percent with them anymore. For the other three here what big names come from the church of God and the four square church?
I'm part of an AG church, however the confirmation by tongues (although possible) is not taught as we do not see that in scripture (to my knowledge). Also, the strictness on alcohol in my experience is aimed at ministers / pastors as response to the importance of those roles; not a mark or need of salvation. I really enjoy this channel, it brings me some real understanding on other brothers and sisters of the faith.
@@Chase21W Yes, restrictions on alcohol is a more dated teaching thatis only more prevalent among smaller, more mature congregations. The same with tongues. Most AG ministers I know assert that it is more important to seek Christ rather than a sign of the Holy Spirit. Tongues is seen as a possible sign but not required to be filled with the Spirit.
I am AG Minister and one of the 16 fundamental trutjs of the AOG is tongues being initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. It is a must if you are Baptized in the spirit, but of course separate from salvation
@@itsnotthatbadguysmtgedh9332 could you explain 1 Corinthians 12 please? It says we are all baptized in the same spirit yet in the spirit we are all different when it comes to gifts. It says “Do all speak with tongues?” Implying that this is a gift of the spirit for some and not others…. If you could explain that, thank you!
@@Chase21W great question what it comes down is the difference between the gift of tongues, and the initial evidence of the baptism of the Spirit. They are the same in essence but different in purpose and use. I speak in tongues for personal edification I do not have the gift of tongues for edfication of others. Some call it prayer language, but essentially that is the difference in tongues as the AOG officially sees it
Deuteronomy 6:4 - "The Lord our God is One." A UPC pastor told us "I'm a father, I'm a son and I'm a husband, yet I I'm only one man." He stated God was not a "committee". Never forgot that and find it hard to consider the Trinitarian Godhead.
I'm a minister in the Church of God. I have passed my test to become an Ordained Bishop and will be recognized next month and it will become official. The Church of God does and at the same time does not allow the ordination of women. Many chaplain programs require someone to be "Ordained" in order to be a chaplain. In light of this, a few years ago, the ministerial ranks where changed to exhorter, Ordained ministers, and then Ordained Bishop. Women can be Ordained ministers, however cannot be Ordained Bishops. This has been a topic of debate for years however, and a topic of discussion for this year's general assembly will one again be women in ministry and their role therein.
always grand fun to see various Christians going after each other in their need to claim that only their version is true, when none of them have any evidence of that at all.
@@andrewmoore3345 " What an original thought! I can’t believe no one has ever thought of that before! You’re breaking ground there, Copernicus!" Not original at all. But quite true.
If I was a Pentecostal (I'm Reformed) I think I would be part of the Foursquare denom. They take a more rational position to Spirit Baptism, use of Alcohol, and their form of polity.
@@FreddyCastaneda1 < It may cause tension if its grow more but I do think that will split the denomination. The AG has an official Position paper on the ag.org/Beliefs/Position-Papers/Reformed-Theology-Response-of-the-AG-Position-Paper
@Gabriel B Millen is this leniency because of pressures in the church to accommodate people or is this due to an actual conscious conviction that they're beliefs are unnecessarily too stringent?
One would think that it would be common sense to be united. But sometimes stubborn belief in even one difference can outweigh common sense. It is sadly the state of sinful nature to hold nonessential belief as though they were essential for the faith and become the obstacle from achieving unity. But at least these denoms are united through other means and organizations without feeling as though their belief system is being changed or diluted from even the most minor differences.
Just to clarify: The AOG has three "levels" of ministers as well. Certified, Licensed & Ordained. The distinction between each level is education and time spent in ministry. I was ordained, but left the AOG shortly after.
Actually Sis. Moss, what he said in the video was correct. I agree that the majority of CoG folk are Young Earth Creationists, it is not required in the Minuites or questioned by credentialing boards. I know that some of the Lee and Seminary faculty don't hold that view.
Which is way better among the three? Is there anyone who can respond to this question? I'd prefer a pastor who had been in one and then shifted to another one of them?
Is it true that Assemblies of God believe that there should be only one church per city? (And perhaps with several campuses.) I find this interesting and unique.
Yes that was a written expectation. In order to not have two "competing" congregations within one city. However, it's often, not practiced very much a in a day of church planting and multi-site extensions of the nearest megachurch.
My church was the Assemblies of God then Influencers now it's changed again to Futures church can you tell me what their new symbol means and what do they preach now?? We also have a new Symbol for our church I'm not sure what it means. Can you tell me .if I send it to you??
The Assemblies of God 's official position on alcohol is that the Bible does not prohibit it, but there is no reason to partake. Alcohol is allowed for the congregation, but if you want to become a minister, you sign an agreement saying you will not drink. Also, the AG has only one title for ministers, but 3 different levels: Certified, Licensed, and Ordained.
The AG position on alcohol is "Therefore the Assemblies of God reaffirms its position of abstinence from alcoholic beverages. This position should be proclaimed boldly and clearly throughout our Fellowship, yet humbly and lovingly in faithful ministry to all." Here's the official position: ag.org/Beliefs/Position-Papers/Abstinence-from-Alcohol
@@ReadyToHarvest Well they are ... many consider them charismatic but I have friends, who are Vineyard Pastors and they consider themselves and their denomination a Pentecostal.
@WarmPotato that would be fine with me. He does a great job with what he does but seems to shy away from the RCC. It’s very educational as far as all the different beliefs of Protestant churches. I would like to see him lift the veil as it were on the RCC.
You speak too fast for me to process. Would you mind slowing your delivery down just a little bit. I really appreciate the content. I want to learn. Thank you.
You did not specify WHICH Church of God denomination you discussed. I know of at least 3, but I believe there are more. There is one headquartered in Cleveland TN. There is another whose offices are in Findlay OH. The third is in another Midwestern state, but I forget.
It is disputed what the second work sanctification experience really means. Second grace means baptism with the holy spirit that happens in an instant, rather than the process of sanctification that leads to christian perfection. I assume you mean that the teachings of Church of God defines the process of sanctification as the “second-work sanctification” as opposed to the instant sanctification by the other 2 denominations.
The split between Assemblies of God and Church of God was over sanctification one held progressive while the other held instantaneous when it is actualy both and not one or the other. As for the gifts of the Spirit there are 9 in all, i have seen tongues a lot my pastor bluts out in tongues just about every service, i have seen interpretation once in a blue moon, as for the others they are lacking. So the one gift that id hard to judge is the one some do a lot, but those gifts that you would know instantly are real are extreamly lacking being pretty much non existent
in your presentation you say that the foursquare church believes in "ongoing prophecy". where is this documented? in looking at their website i don't see anything confirming this. or is this just something common with all pentecostal churches?
The ongoing gift of prophecy is a mark of Pentecostal churches, but foursquare does speak of it. See, for example: 1. vimeo.com/245410200 2. resources.foursquare.org/foursquare_national_leader_leslie_keegel_delivers_prophecy/ 3. resources.foursquare.org/reclaiming_the_gifts_of_the_holy_spirit_part_1/

Hi there. I know that the Bible says that to divorce and then remarry is considered ongoing adultery. Marriage is until death do you part. Not saying that there aren't any true Believers in the churches though.
If you listen ,God will place you in the church he wants you to attend.I am Full Gospel so I attend Holy Ghost Churches .The thing that hurts is people with pride telling you what churches are superior to the others .
The thought of communion as symbolic is certainly less than the Pauline view. Self exam is required and discernment. Failure can lead to illness, weakness and death 1Cor 11:29. Perhaps the term mystical presence, it's a mystery what exactly the Presence is.
@@ronashman8463 Just so you know there is NO tithing requirement in the New Covenant. All churches teaching tithing are preaching another gospel as per Galatians chapter one.
@@paulryan5984 the problem with you "no tithing these days" folk is that you do not read your Bibles. Matt 23:23 "ye pay tithe of mint and..." "*these things ye ought to have done*" and the second witness is likewise Luke 11:42 "ye tithe mint and..." "*these things ye ought to have done*". Jesus speaking. New testament I believe.
@@ronashman8463 Galatians 1; 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
The holy spirit lives in us. Sanctification is done by the holy spirit through our cooperation, faithfulness, after receiving Jesus as Lord and savior. Supernatural empowerment by the holy spirit who is our teacher.
Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 4:4 Certainly the bible is right any and every "organization" that says differently well there saying "we are right the bible is wrong" there is only 1 body find that one youll be alright
I’m not sure about the overall beliefs of the organization but from the two churches I’ve been in: one was church of God, the other AG - both taught that in baptism(a symbol that we are born again in spirit and we are now following in the tradition to be baptized) there is no requirement for speaking in tongues. This is a gift of God and if it does happen then it happens. Hope this answered your question, if you have any more just let me know.
@@Chase21W I'm asking from an AG/CG perspective. I'm not talking about water baptism. They say that water baptism and Spirit baptism are different things. I'm asking if AG or CG believe that an organic mute is not able to be baptized in the Spirit since they would not be physically able to speak in tongues since they believe there would be no evidence
@@n40798I understand, well from the two churches I’ve been in one AG and one COG they don’t require proof of tongues or any proof. They would never turn someone away and speaking in tongues has been a sad rule put in place by man just like so many other rules Christ died for our sins, admitting your a sinner and in need of a savior would be a first step. Accepting Christ as that savior and believing in Him as the Son of God, dying on a cross for your sin would be the second, and believing He rose again and now sits at the right hand of the Father would be third. Now we go turn from that Sin and we are a new creation/born again in spirit/heirs with Christ. Then last he said Go and make disciples and always be ready for my return. I think that covers it….
1 Corinthians 12 explains baptism of the spirit pretty well! Speaking in tongues is a gift that some have and others do not. There are many other gifts as well and the great thing is we are all in one spirit having different gifts making the “body of Christ” (that’s believers) complete.
Jesus in his Humanity is recognizing that God the Father is His God, while also knowing that in His Divinity He and the Father are One. This is clearly understood if one believes that Jesus is fully God and fully Man.
@WarmPotato yes, typically those who believe in the dual nature of Jesus Christ would be Trinitarian, but belief in the dual nature of Jesus Christ is not exclusive to them.
You will have to do a bit of research, especially when jesus talks about how they have recieved his word etc. But he is emphasising to mary that he is about to go up to be approved by God and how that it is the same God. If you go back to the old testament, the high priest did the same thing as he walked to the holy of holies and sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat of the ark. No one could touch him before he did this as it would make him unclean and he would probably die if he tried to go in after being touched. Leviticus 16:10-18.
Why is AG in the wesleyan holiness connection if they deny the entire sanctification?? My theological questions are getting so niche not even Google can help me, man
Yeah, they are a bit of an outlier in there. But Grace Communion International is also part and that's unusual too. The answer is probably something like "WHC doesn't tend to turn down applications from denominations that apply to join, even if they don't completely align theologically."

I was raised in what is today an extremely liberal Lutheran Church which was part of the ALC then and the ELCA now. I became a Born Again Christian in high school after hearing a non Lutheran speak at a high school weekend retreat. While in the Navy and in college the local Lutheran Churches didn't want me to attend as a single Sailor or a single college student. I ran into the Assemblies of God in San Diego while in the Navy. The Assemblies of God taught the GAP Theory, which I accepted for a long time. My study of Science eventually convinced me that the GAP Theory is incorrect and Young Earth Creation is the correct view as taught in the Bible and that agrees with Observational Science.
According to our apostle paul’s ministry,today we are only saved by BELIEVING The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross,was buried and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.

When I came to the Lord I started going to an AOG church and over the years have been going off and on, with other churches being visited in between. Years ago the AOG taught about repentance, closeness with the Lord etc. These days, very little is taught about repentance or holiness. Also the AOG had an air of superiority, i.e. was better than other churches, which upset me no end. I have been to a number of "traditional" churches in between which I found more "humble" than the AOG. However the AOG beliefs, i.e. sanctity of marriage, anti-abortion etc I strongly agree to whereas the traditional churches seem to have lost their moral compass and too many compromises with the world are occurring.
I went to AOG for 20 years of my life until I recently just switched over to Church of God, I love it! People are way more humbler.
You'll find the superiority complex in any denomination. I attended an AOG church for 16 years. And everyone tried to make new people feel welcomed to the congregation and to the church. Meanwhile, for a time in 2012 I attended a Methodist church that my cousin is the pastor of. I attended because my grandmother was dying, and that was the church she attended. So to maximize time with her, we went to her church. And every service we could feel the judgement of others. And we weren't the only ones to pick up on it. The first service following my grandmothers death; my cousin made a statement to his congregation about how even he felt that we were being judged for not being Methodists.
In 2014 I moved states, and there is only one AOG church in the area. I attended a few sermons. But they never really put the effort out to make us feel welcomed. It was like a "hi welcome" and then never acknowledge the existence of again. So I stopped going. After that, I went to "the church" in the area that basically everyone who's name is known around here goes to. It's a Baptist church, and didn't have really any problems with it. The people were warmer than the local AOG church. Actually, one of the first things anyone there said to me was an invitation to their Bible Study. I went for a couple of months. But something kept saying to me in the back of my head "This isn't where you're supposed to be." So again, I went "church shopping." Have attended about half the churches in my area regardless of denomination over the course of about 5 years. Then I went to one. And the first sermon I attended that voice that kept going "This isn't where you're supposed to be" said "This is where you're supposed to be." Have been there since. And I can tell you, over that 5 year search, about 1/4 of the churches I attended had that same superiority complex. Some I only attended one sermon because I could see everyone looking at me and feeling the overbearing amount of silent judgement. And it was more or less evenly split between "traditional" and "modern" churches where I felt that. It also didn't matter the denomination. The church I now attend is officially "nondenominational." But if you walked in not knowing that you'd claim they were a Baptist church (which they basically are). And, even though that's the church I now attend. I still identify as a Pentecostal. And still attend the AOG church I attended for so long when I go visit family there.
The church of pergamos, Rev 2:12. The compromised church. Married to the world.
@@ReinSouls I agree with you, every church is different and some are more dedicated to God than others, if someone judges a church solely on fact that another church of the same domination had an attitude problem, they may be missing out.
I find myself going to AoG churches mostly and I have seen massive differences between them. The one that I am going to now is very friendly and interest in helping people with their walk in God. But others I have gone to in the past have been hit-or-miss.
@WarmPotato It depends on which ones. There are very devout and Cod fearing Catholics and very secular ones. I am not Catholic but I have met deeply committed Catholics who love God and Catholics in name only who just go to church to perform a cultural ritual.
To their credit there are no Catholic churches marrying gay couples and none which accept abortion as a woman's right. Liberal Protestant denominations have caved to these matters, but the Catholic church has not.
So I have heard bill Johnson(bethel) Phil Robertson(duck dynasty) Alexander pagani( Alexander pagani ministries) come from the Assemblies of God background but I’m not sure if they still agree 100 percent with them anymore. For the other three here what big names come from the church of God and the four square church?
love your videos! could you do one about sedevacantist catholics?
I'm part of an AG church, however the confirmation by tongues (although possible) is not taught as we do not see that in scripture (to my knowledge). Also, the strictness on alcohol in my experience is aimed at ministers / pastors as response to the importance of those roles; not a mark or need of salvation.
I really enjoy this channel, it brings me some real understanding on other brothers and sisters of the faith.
Yes, same in our group as well!
@@Chase21W Yes, restrictions on alcohol is a more dated teaching thatis only more prevalent among smaller, more mature congregations. The same with tongues. Most AG ministers I know assert that it is more important to seek Christ rather than a sign of the Holy Spirit. Tongues is seen as a possible sign but not required to be filled with the Spirit.
I am AG Minister and one of the 16 fundamental trutjs of the AOG is tongues being initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. It is a must if you are Baptized in the spirit, but of course separate from salvation
@@itsnotthatbadguysmtgedh9332 could you explain 1 Corinthians 12 please? It says we are all baptized in the same spirit yet in the spirit we are all different when it comes to gifts. It says “Do all speak with tongues?” Implying that this is a gift of the spirit for some and not others…. If you could explain that, thank you!
@@Chase21W great question what it comes down is the difference between the gift of tongues, and the initial evidence of the baptism of the Spirit. They are the same in essence but different in purpose and use. I speak in tongues for personal edification I do not have the gift of tongues for edfication of others.
Some call it prayer language, but essentially that is the difference in tongues as the AOG officially sees it
We in united Pentecostal church ,believe in the oneness of God ..the father and son an Holy Ghost are one ..I Am that i am ..
Well explain if they are one , why did Jesus say not even he knows when the rapture is , HE said only my Father knows
Praise God the only denomination that preaches the truth!
Our church was the same as UPC but in Spanish Apostolic we somehow fellowship with AOG occasionally and with paw people
Deuteronomy 6:4 - "The Lord our God is One." A UPC pastor told us "I'm a father, I'm a son and I'm a husband, yet I I'm only one man." He stated God was not a "committee". Never forgot that and find it hard to consider the Trinitarian Godhead.
I'm a minister in the Church of God. I have passed my test to become an Ordained Bishop and will be recognized next month and it will become official. The Church of God does and at the same time does not allow the ordination of women. Many chaplain programs require someone to be "Ordained" in order to be a chaplain. In light of this, a few years ago, the ministerial ranks where changed to exhorter, Ordained ministers, and then Ordained Bishop. Women can be Ordained ministers, however cannot be Ordained Bishops. This has been a topic of debate for years however, and a topic of discussion for this year's general assembly will one again be women in ministry and their role therein.
always grand fun to see various Christians going after each other in their need to claim that only their version is true, when none of them have any evidence of that at all.
What an original thought! I can’t believe no one has ever thought of that before! You’re breaking ground there, Copernicus!

This channel is awesome
If I was a Pentecostal (I'm Reformed) I think I would be part of the Foursquare denom. They take a more rational position to Spirit Baptism, use of Alcohol, and their form of polity.
There is a small calvinist movement in the AG.
@@angelbonilla4243 do you think it might cause a rift in the denom if Calvinism becomes more influential?
@@FreddyCastaneda1 < It may cause tension if its grow more but I do think that will split the denomination. The AG has an official Position paper on the ag.org/Beliefs/Position-Papers/Reformed-Theology-Response-of-the-AG-Position-Paper
@Gabriel B Millen is this leniency because of pressures in the church to accommodate people or is this due to an actual conscious conviction that they're beliefs are unnecessarily too stringent?
@Gabriel B Millen Christians don't babble and flop about. Demoniacs do.
This is very interesting. The differences between the denominations are minor. Shouldn’t they combine together as one denomination?
One would think that it would be common sense to be united. But sometimes stubborn belief in even one difference can outweigh common sense. It is sadly the state of sinful nature to hold nonessential belief as though they were essential for the faith and become the obstacle from achieving unity. But at least these denoms are united through other means and organizations without feeling as though their belief system is being changed or diluted from even the most minor differences.
It wouldn’t matter if they did or not, it’s not about which religion is right it’s about the personal relationship with the father.
Steve Cedeno; They will all unite shortly under the Pope's One World Religion. Most of them have no problem with the RCC church.
It is not a minor difference between infant head wetting and believer's full immersion when discussing baptism.
Great job as always!
Beautiful factual and to the point! Great job!
AG does have feet washing services - we just had one at our AG in Indiana 2 weeks ago.
AG churches may choose to have feet washing (or not), but it is not viewed as an ordinance like the Lord's Supper and Baptism are.
@@ReadyToHarvest got it - thanks!
Just to clarify:
The AOG has three "levels" of ministers as well. Certified, Licensed & Ordained. The distinction between each level is education and time spent in ministry. I was ordained, but left the AOG shortly after.
One correction. I have been COG for 35 years, and we do believe that the earth was literally created by God in 6 days and on the 7th day, He rested.
Actually Sis. Moss, what he said in the video was correct. I agree that the majority of CoG folk are Young Earth Creationists, it is not required in the Minuites or questioned by credentialing boards. I know that some of the Lee and Seminary faculty don't hold that view.
Which is way better among the three? Is there anyone who can respond to this question? I'd prefer a pastor who had been in one and then shifted to another one of them?
I love Foursquare church and family
Just left an Assemblies and started attending a Foursquare. Not over doctrinal beliefs though.
Is it true that Assemblies of God believe that there should be only one church per city? (And perhaps with several campuses.) I find this interesting and unique.
Yes that was a written expectation. In order to not have two "competing" congregations within one city. However, it's often, not practiced very much a in a day of church planting and multi-site extensions of the nearest megachurch.
My church was the Assemblies of God then Influencers now it's changed again to Futures church can you tell me what their new symbol means and what do they preach now?? We also have a new Symbol for our church I'm not sure what it means. Can you tell me .if I send it to you??
The Assemblies of God 's official position on alcohol is that the Bible does not prohibit it, but there is no reason to partake. Alcohol is allowed for the congregation, but if you want to become a minister, you sign an agreement saying you will not drink.
Also, the AG has only one title for ministers, but 3 different levels: Certified, Licensed, and Ordained.
The AG position on alcohol is "Therefore the Assemblies of God reaffirms its position of abstinence from alcoholic beverages. This position should be proclaimed boldly and clearly throughout our Fellowship, yet humbly and lovingly in faithful ministry to all."
Here's the official position: ag.org/Beliefs/Position-Papers/Abstinence-from-Alcohol
Your statement about the alcohol is incorrect. The position of the AG, is against their members consuming alcohol.
It would have been helpful to add the 4th biggest Pentecostal denomination called the Vineyard denomination.
Vineyard is not Pentecostal, but I do have videos on this channel about them, including comparing them with other denominations.
@@ReadyToHarvest Well they are ... many consider them charismatic but I have friends, who are Vineyard Pastors and they consider themselves and their denomination a Pentecostal.
@Ready to Harvest: Will you explain why Church of God is different from the Church of God of Prophecy?
Can you make a video on the International Christian Church. ICC or ICCOC
If you think you have found the perfect church don’t join it. You you will spoil it
Still waiting for RCC
@WarmPotato that would be fine with me. He does a great job with what he does but seems to shy away from the RCC. It’s very educational as far as all the different beliefs of Protestant churches.
I would like to see him lift the veil as it were on the RCC.
Honestly the RCC would take ten hour-long videos to properly cover.
See Mike Winger's U Tube channel for an excellent analysis of the Roman Catholic Religion.

Excellent summary
You did not specify WHICH Church of God denomination you discussed. I know of at least 3, but I believe there are more. There is one headquartered in Cleveland TN. There is another whose offices are in Findlay OH. The third is in another Midwestern state, but I forget.
Watch again, particularly the first 5 seconds.

Assembly of God and Foursquare Church are both a Born Again Church and are BOTH the same.
It is disputed what the second work sanctification experience really means. Second grace means baptism with the holy spirit that happens in an instant, rather than the process of sanctification that leads to christian perfection. I assume you mean that the teachings of Church of God defines the process of sanctification as the “second-work sanctification” as opposed to the instant sanctification by the other 2 denominations.
The split between Assemblies of God and Church of God was over sanctification one held progressive while the other held instantaneous when it is actualy both and not one or the other.
As for the gifts of the Spirit there are 9 in all, i have seen tongues a lot my pastor bluts out in tongues just about every service, i have seen interpretation once in a blue moon, as for the others they are lacking.
So the one gift that id hard to judge is the one some do a lot, but those gifts that you would know instantly are real are extreamly lacking being pretty much non existent
This is the best explanation of Sanctification that I’ve ever heard. It’s both!
Good concise points on Pentecostal
in your presentation you say that the foursquare church believes in "ongoing prophecy". where is this documented? in looking at their website i don't see anything confirming this. or is this just something common with all pentecostal churches?
The ongoing gift of prophecy is a mark of Pentecostal churches, but foursquare does speak of it. See, for example:
1. vimeo.com/245410200
2. resources.foursquare.org/foursquare_national_leader_leslie_keegel_delivers_prophecy/
3. resources.foursquare.org/reclaiming_the_gifts_of_the_holy_spirit_part_1/
Foursquare Church must have changed a lot since I left it back in 1969
Much respect!
Acts 1:8 is the record of Jesus telling His disciples the physical evidence of the power of the Holy Spirit.
Consider the three branches of the Restoration Movement for a comparison
Wow, I did not know this. Where are these numbers when we vote?
I love these
Why are a lot of Assemblies of God churches changing their names?
The reason many are changing name is generally a function of "marketing", where it is seen as advantageous to not directly say one is AOG.
@readtAG has three levels of Minister credential, but that is more-or-less just an education and experience thing.
Certified
Licence to Preach
Ordained
Church of God and Church of God of Prophecy have similar beliefs. They split in early 1900's
New Testament church on india it's known as The Pentecostal Mission, are not in internet, media, has ASSEMBLIES in more than 65 countries, SERVANTS of GOD and believers stand for divine healing, go through Wikimedia etc etc
Hi there. I know that the Bible says that to divorce and then remarry is considered ongoing adultery. Marriage is until death do you part. Not saying that there aren't any true Believers in the churches though.
If you listen ,God will place you in the church he wants you to attend.I am Full Gospel so I attend Holy Ghost Churches .The thing that hurts is people with pride telling you what churches are superior to the others .
As a COG member, now I know!
What about Penecostal Church of God?
Church of God is Penecostal
I thought that AG started allowing “social drinking” years ago…. Like around the turn of the (21st) century.
As a member of AG Philippines "social drinking" is not allowed.

The thought of communion as symbolic is certainly less than the Pauline view. Self exam is required and discernment. Failure can lead to illness, weakness and death 1Cor 11:29. Perhaps the term mystical presence, it's a mystery what exactly the Presence is.
All of these denominations preaching tithing. WOW!
@Paul Ryan I can't figure out whether you are being serious or sarcastic.
@@ronashman8463 Just so you know there is NO tithing requirement in the New Covenant. All churches teaching tithing are preaching another gospel as per Galatians chapter one.
@@paulryan5984 the problem with you "no tithing these days" folk is that you do not read your Bibles. Matt 23:23 "ye pay tithe of mint and..." "*these things ye ought to have done*" and the second witness is likewise Luke 11:42 "ye tithe mint and..." "*these things ye ought to have done*". Jesus speaking. New testament I believe.
@@ronashman8463 Galatians 1; 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
@@paulryan5984 you are totally off the subject. Also, are you denying that Jesus said those words?
The holy spirit lives in us. Sanctification is done by the holy spirit through our cooperation, faithfulness, after receiving Jesus as Lord and savior. Supernatural empowerment by the holy spirit who is our teacher.
Thank you!
And to think I thought there was only one body and the head was Christ!
Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 4:4 Certainly the bible is right any and every "organization" that says differently well there saying "we are right the bible is wrong" there is only 1 body find that one youll be alright
@@sheroyal9326 Right, Romans 16:16 is grand clue in that search
Having many bodies with many heads we are not one accord with Christ he must be the only head to unite the whole body of Christ!
1:52 Do AG and CG believe that the Holy Spirit will not baptize an organic mute since there would be no evidence?
I’m not sure about the overall beliefs of the organization but from the two churches I’ve been in: one was church of God, the other AG - both taught that in baptism(a symbol that we are born again in spirit and we are now following in the tradition to be baptized) there is no requirement for speaking in tongues. This is a gift of God and if it does happen then it happens. Hope this answered your question, if you have any more just let me know.
@@Chase21W I'm asking from an AG/CG perspective. I'm not talking about water baptism. They say that water baptism and Spirit baptism are different things. I'm asking if AG or CG believe that an organic mute is not able to be baptized in the Spirit since they would not be physically able to speak in tongues since they believe there would be no evidence
@@n40798I understand, well from the two churches I’ve been in one AG and one COG they don’t require proof of tongues or any proof. They would never turn someone away and speaking in tongues has been a sad rule put in place by man just like so many other rules
Christ died for our sins, admitting your a sinner and in need of a savior would be a first step. Accepting Christ as that savior and believing in Him as the Son of God, dying on a cross for your sin would be the second, and believing He rose again and now sits at the right hand of the Father would be third. Now we go turn from that Sin and we are a new creation/born again in spirit/heirs with Christ. Then last he said Go and make disciples and always be ready for my return. I think that covers it….
That is a great question. I am an AOG Pastor I have honestly never considered this question. I am going to talk with my mentors and get you an answet
1 Corinthians 12 explains baptism of the spirit pretty well! Speaking in tongues is a gift that some have and others do not. There are many other gifts as well and the great thing is we are all in one spirit having different gifts making the “body of Christ” (that’s believers) complete.
This is a question that affects all Christians.
How do we fight the mark of the beast(forced vaccinations)???
How do you explain John 20:17? "I have not yet ascended to your God and MY God..."
Jesus in his Humanity is recognizing that God the Father is His God, while also knowing that in His Divinity He and the Father are One. This is clearly understood if one believes that Jesus is fully God and fully Man.
@WarmPotato yes, typically those who believe in the dual nature of Jesus Christ would be Trinitarian, but belief in the dual nature of Jesus Christ is not exclusive to them.
Look up Joel Hemphill "I was Wrong"
You will have to do a bit of research, especially when jesus talks about how they have recieved his word etc. But he is emphasising to mary that he is about to go up to be approved by God and how that it is the same God.
If you go back to the old testament, the high priest did the same thing as he walked to the holy of holies and sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat of the ark. No one could touch him before he did this as it would make him unclean and he would probably die if he tried to go in after being touched.
Leviticus 16:10-18.
Why is AG in the wesleyan holiness connection if they deny the entire sanctification??
My theological questions are getting so niche not even Google can help me, man
Yeah, they are a bit of an outlier in there. But Grace Communion International is also part and that's unusual too. The answer is probably something like "WHC doesn't tend to turn down applications from denominations that apply to join, even if they don't completely align theologically."

how about the GAP theory vs 6 day creation ???
I was raised in what is today an extremely liberal Lutheran Church which was part of the ALC then and the ELCA now. I became a Born Again Christian in high school after hearing a non Lutheran speak at a high school weekend retreat.
While in the Navy and in college the local Lutheran Churches didn't want me to attend as a single Sailor or a single college student. I ran into the Assemblies of God in San Diego while in the Navy. The Assemblies of God taught the GAP Theory, which I accepted for a long time. My study of Science eventually convinced me that the GAP Theory is incorrect and Young Earth Creation is the correct view as taught in the Bible and that agrees with Observational Science.
The AG has 3 levels of ministry similar to the Church of God.
How the evangélicas dos agree. Try to agree and become only One.
According to our apostle paul’s ministry,today we are only saved by BELIEVING The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross,was buried and rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ Shed Blood is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.
Stephen Michaels; James 2; 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
