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

Prayer & Hope: What Happens When We Die?
When a person dies, Scripture teaches that believers are with Christ while their bodies await resurrection. At Jesus’ return, the dead in Christ will rise imperishable, God will judge all people with perfect justice, and His redeemed people will live forever in a restored creation where death, grief, and pain are gone. Questions about death are never merely theoretical. They often rise in a hospital room, after a funeral, during a quiet drive home, or in the middle of the nig

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: 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. It is important, but it does not earn, complete, or prove salvation. This question often comes from a sincere place. Perhaps you have heard someone say that speaking in tongues is required to go to heaven. Perhaps you have

Bible Study: AG 101: Can You Lose Your Salvation? What the Assemblies of God Believes About Eternal Security
Salvation is not a fragile thread held together by human performance. It is a living relationship with Jesus, secure in His hands, yet never meant to be treated as permission to abandon Him. Can you lose your salvation? The Assemblies of God teaches that salvation is received by grace through faith and is secure as we continue trusting Christ. A believer does not lose salvation through every stumble, but Scripture warns that persistent, willful rebellion and complete abando

Christian Living: Why Do I Keep Making the Same Mistakes?
Repeated mistakes often continue because sin is not only a decision in a moment; it can be a practiced pattern shaped by desires, pressures, settings, and unexamined responses. Scripture meets this struggle with both honesty and hope: confess what is true, turn toward Christ, walk by the Spirit, invite wise accountability, and rise again by grace. If you keep returning to the same mistake, you may feel discouraged, ashamed, or spiritually confused. You may wonder whether your

Bible Study: What Is Salvation in the Assemblies of God?
Salvation in the Assemblies of God is God’s gracious rescue from sin through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus became fully human, died in our place, rose bodily from the grave, and offers forgiveness and new life to everyone who turns to God in repentance and trusts Him by faith. Salvation is received by grace, not earned by works. This Bible study begins a four-part look at the Assemblies of God’s core doctrines: Jesus Christ the Savior, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, di

How Do I Share My Faith Without Sounding Pushy?
You can share your faith without sounding pushy by treating evangelism as a loving relationship rather than a sales pitch. Listen carefully, ask permission before shifting to spiritual topics, share your testimony honestly, explain the Gospel clearly, and leave room for the other person to respond freely. Sharing your faith can feel intimidating. You may love Jesus deeply, yet worry that your words will sound rehearsed, judgmental, or intrusive. Perhaps you have experienced u

Can God Forgive Me When I Can't Forgive Myself?
Yes. When you confess your sin and turn to God through Jesus Christ, God’s forgiveness is grounded in His promise, not in your ability to feel clean. Persistent shame may make forgiveness hard to receive, but it cannot overturn 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103:12, or Romans 8:1. In Christ, mercy is true before it feels true. Some people can say, “I know God forgives me,” but still wake up carrying the same shame. They remember the conversation, the decision, the secret, the betrayal, th

What Does Salvation Mean in the Assemblies of God?
Salvation in the Assemblies of God means being forgiven, made new, and restored to fellowship with God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. It is God’s gracious gift, made possible by Christ’s death and resurrection, not something earned through good works, religious performance, or human effort. Salvation is not a ladder we climb toward God. It is the rescue God provides when we turn from sin and trust Jesus. What is the Assemblies of God’s basic belief about salva

Bible Study & AG 101: Who Is Jesus, And Why Does It Matter for Your Life Today?
Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully human, who came to save us from sin, reveal the Father, die on the cross, rise bodily, reign as Lord, and return again. Because He lives, you can receive forgiveness, healing, Holy Spirit power, hope, and a new life. The question behind every other question Who is Jesus?
