What we believe
Sixteen truths, one Saviour.
As an Assemblies of God church we hold to the 16 Fundamental Truths. Four of them — salvation, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, divine healing and the second coming of Christ — are the cardinal doctrines at the heart of our Pentecostal faith.
- 01
The Scriptures inspired
The Bible is inspired by God and is the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:15–17
- 02
The one true God
There is one true God, eternally existing and revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19
- 03
The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God — fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, sinless, crucified, risen and exalted.
Luke 1:31–35; Hebrews 1:3
- 04
The fall of man
Humanity was created good, but by choosing to disobey God brought sin and death — physical and spiritual — into the world.
Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 5:12–19
- 05
The salvation of manCardinal
Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour.
Romans 10:9–10; Ephesians 2:8
- 06
The ordinances of the Church
Water baptism by immersion for believers, and the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death.
Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
- 07
The baptism in the Holy SpiritCardinal
A gift distinct from and following salvation, empowering believers for witness and service, just as in the New Testament church.
Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4
- 08
The initial physical evidence
The baptism in the Holy Spirit is shown first by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44–46
- 09
Sanctification
God declares the believer holy at salvation and continues a lifelong work of separating us from evil and making us like Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 12:14
- 10
The Church and its mission
The Church is the Body of Christ, made up of all who have received His redemption. Its mission is to seek and save the lost, worship God, build up believers and serve human need.
Ephesians 1:22–23; Matthew 28:19–20
- 11
The ministry
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry — men and women — serves the Church in evangelism, worship, discipleship and compassion.
Mark 16:15–20; Ephesians 4:11–13
- 12
Divine healingCardinal
Healing of the sick is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of every believer today.

The blessed hopeCardinal
Christ will return for His Church. The dead in Christ will rise, and believers who are alive will be caught up to meet the Lord.

- 14
The millennial reign of Christ
Christ will return with His saints and reign on earth for a thousand years, bringing the salvation of Israel and universal peace.

There will be a final judgment, at which those who have rejected Christ will be judged for their sin.
Revelation 20:11–15

The new heavens and new earth
We look forward to the new heavens and new earth, where all who have trusted Christ will live with Him forever.
2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21–22
“These Fundamental Truths are intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us (i.e., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Cor. 1:10; Acts 2:42). The phraseology employed in this statement is not inspired or contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full-gospel ministry.” — Assemblies of God
