Core Beliefs
Azle First Assembly of God is in fellowship with the General Council of the Assemblies of God. As a General Council Church, we adhere to the 16 Fundamental Truths, of which the following beliefs are adapted from.
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God (Psalm 119; Matthew 4:4; Luke 24:27).
The Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (John 1:1-4; 14:16; 1 John 5:7)
Jesus Christ
In the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His Sinless Life, in His Miracles, in His Vicarious and Atoning Death, in His Bodily Resurrection, in His Ascension to the Right Hand of God the Father, in His personal future return to this Earth in Power and Glory to rule a thousand years (John 1:1-4; Ephesians 2:13-18; Revelation 19-20).
Salvation
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal Salvation (John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5). The only means of being cleansed from sin is through Repentance and Faith in the Precious Blood of Christ (Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8, 9, 13-18).
Divine Healing
The Redemptive Work of Christ on the Cross provides Healing of the human bodily in answer to believing prayer (Exodus 15:25, 26; James 5:14, 15; 1 Peter 2:24).
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The Baptism with the Holy Spirit with the initial physical evidence of speaking in other tongues according to Acts 2:4 is given to Believers who ask for it (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7).
Sanctification
In the Sanctifying Power of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Romans 6:3-14; 8:1, 2, 11).
The Rapture
We believe in the premillennial, pre-tribulation rapture of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
