Bible Study: What Is the Rapture? An Assemblies of God Perspective
The rapture is the future event when Jesus Christ returns for His Church, raising believers who have died and transforming living believers. Together, they will be caught up to meet the Lord and remain with Him forever. Assemblies of God teaching calls this resurrection and translation the Church’s “blessed hope,” not a reason for panic or speculation. Questions about the rapture often arise when the world feels unstable, when grief makes eternity feel urgent, or when frighte

Bible Study: Can Salvation Be Lost?
No. The Assemblies of God does not affirm “once saved, always saved” as unconditional eternal security. It teaches that salvation is received by grace through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and believers are called to continue in faith, obedience, and fellowship with Him. Scripture gives strong assurance while also warning against deliberately turning away from Christ. The question of whether salvation can be lost is not merely a theological argument. For many people,

Bible Study: What Do Assemblies of God Believe About Baptism in the Holy Spirit?
The Assemblies of God teaches that baptism in the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience subsequent to salvation, given to empower believers for witness and ministry. Speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is understood as its initial physical evidence. This experience does not earn salvation, create spiritual superiority, or justify pressuring anyone to speak. The baptism in the Holy Spirit can sound unfamiliar or intimidating, especially if you have encounter

Bible Study: What Do Assemblies of God Believe About Healing?
The Assemblies of God teaches that divine healing is an integral part of the gospel, provided for in Christ’s atonement and available to believers through faith-filled prayer.

Bible Study: Do Tongues Save You?
No. A person is saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by speaking in tongues. In Assemblies of God teaching, speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit, a distinct empowering experience for witness.

Perhaps you have heard someone say that speaking in tongues is required to go to heaven. Perhaps you have

Bible Study: What Is Sin, Really?
Sin is more than breaking a rule or making a mistake. It is rebellion against God that ruptures our relationship with Him, distorts what we love, and harms ourselves and others. Yet through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, God forgives, restores, and leads us into new life by His grace. Scripture and Insight: What Sin Means in the Bible Many people hear the word sin and immediately think of condemnation, religious arguments, or a list of behaviors they are expected to

Bible Study: Job And Faith After Suffering
Job teaches us that faith after suffering is not pretending to understand everything. It is bringing grief and honest questions to God, refusing simplistic explanations, remembering His sovereignty, and continuing to trust His character. Job does not receive an easy explanation. He receives a deeper encounter with God and a hope shaped by God's compassion. The book of Job does not offer a formula for explaining every hardship. It gives us something more honest and more durabl
