STATEMENT OF FAITH
This Assembly accepts the Holy Bible as the inspired and revealed Will of God, the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, adopts the Statement of Fundamental Truths approved by The General Council, as same is now and from time to time may be revised, and as recited in the true copy thereof which follows as an addendum to this Code of Constitution and Bylaws, by the reference incorporated herein as though set forth in full.

 

The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of Bethlehem Assembly of God’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our lead pastor in consultation with the church board of Bethlehem Assembly of God and in agreement with The General Counsel of Assemblies of God Doctrine Statements of Fundamental Truths is the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
