    I’m an ordained Assemblies of God pastor of 20+ years and graduated from an AG Bible college and seminary in Springfield, Mo (where the national headquarter resides). This summary of the AG is extremely accurate and fair. Well done.

      2033: REST OH FAIR, THERE IS LITTLE LEFT.
      Biblical symbology reveals to us that for God a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand
      years as a day; therefore, in the person and work of the Lord Jesus himself, his
      reappearance is revealed on the morning of the third day (beginning of the third millennium,
      21st century). Sacred Scripture also reveals that the time given to the Church's mission is
      two days (two thousand years), which end in 2033, since the Church was founded in the
      year 33. The next facts that will impact the world are: 1- The uprising of the world ruler
      (antichrist). 2- Martyrdom of Christians and the rapture of the Church. 3- The third world war
      and the great massacre of the Jewish nation by Russia. After these three episodes, Christ,
      THE KING OF JERUSALEM, will descend together with his saints, on the mount of olives,
      for the implantation of the millennial government (Rev. 19:15). The war and its end will take
      place according to Zechariah 14: Israel on the brink of extermination, and the annihilation of
      world military forces. Thus will be the second coming of the one who was killed and revived.
      In this glorious episode many will die, but others will be preserved on earth. Being the
      conqueror of all armies, the world comes to belong to Christ, the King of Jerusalem. (Rev.
      11:15). Now, we, incorruptible disciples, for a thousand years, will reorganize planet earth
      (the only planet with intelligent life). 1- The Judiciary System will be extinguished. 2- Police
      and armies from all over the world will have new and unique command. 3- Traffics and
      militias will be extinguished, now Christianity reigns in the scepter of the Gospel. 4- Nobody
      else will say my door or my house, everything will be from the conqueror of the valley of
      Armageddon. 5- The Creator of the coronavirus, will exterminate all pests, automatically
      sentencing Science to its end. 6- The world speaks one language again (Gen. 11: 1). 7- We
      will not eat meat, there will be no blood shed in the personal kingdom of Jesus Christ. 8- All
      pagan temples, catholics, spiritists, assemblies of god, baptists, and movements called
      evangelicals will be sealed at the disposal of the Great King of Jerusalem, and no spiritual
      entity will ever be mentioned again. Truth and justice assume their throne over humanity.
      Soon, after the coronavirus, we will have hunger, pests, plagues, and a class of self-loving
      political leaders who, like leeches, will not get enough of their robberies and murders, taking
      advantage of catastrophes to get rich, they have until 2033 to adjust accounts. The
      curriculum of the faculties will undergo changes, and my brothers and I will witness in the
      Universities, where all the Constitutions will be extinguished, and the Glorious Gospel of the
      Kingdom will be taught to all people, then the end will come (Matt. 24:14).

    I first heard the gospel at an Assemblies of God when I was around 10 y/o at a vacation bible school. I did not attend church of any kind regularly as a boy growing up. The Holy Spirit was working that day and I was convicted and drawn by the Spirit of God to go forward. I didn't really understand what was happening then as I do now. I believe if I had been dealt with more carefully I might have gotten saved that day, but only God knows. About 10 years later I was witnessed to by an Independent Baptist who used Isaiah 53 and that same Holy Spirit again convicted me VERY strongly of my need as a lost sinner to be saved by the Lamb of God. I did not immediately get saved, but remained under deep conviction for days after that encounter. I went to a small IFB church about 1 week later and went forward during the invitation. This time, that same man used the Romans Road and briefly went through it with me and led me in a phrase by phrase prayer to be repeated only if I meant it. Believe me, I meant every word! Now to be clear, I was ready fruit at this point, ripe for the picking, but I had never prayed a prayer in my life at this point. I got saved that day when I admitted to God that I was a sinner and deserved His judgment including spending eternity in hell. I believed that Jesus Christ, the virgin born Son of God, had died in my place on Calvary's cross, shedding His sinless blood for my sins, and rose from the dead. I understood only that I was a sinner who deserved God's judgment for my sins and that Christ had taken God's judgement by bearing my sins on the cross. When I called upon the Lord (Romans 10:13) with that in mind God INSTANTLY forgave my sins DURING THAT PRAYER and made me His child and I KNEW IT. There was zero doubt in my mind and heart that I was born again. I was "dead in trespasses and sins", but I walked out of that church that day "a new creation in Christ Jesus."
    I can't agree with some of the Assemblies of God doctrines, but I still thank God for them. If that personal worker that day hadn't been dealing with several children at once and maybe spent just a little more time with me, who knows, I might be Assemblies of God today. I don't think either of those churches are perfect btw, including IFB. You may not agree with all my testimony, but it is all exactly as I stated it, particularly the part about getting saved DURING that phrase by phrase repeated prayer! I was born again before I stood up from kneeling and KNEW it. I still know it 44 years later. If you don't get anything else out of my testimony just know Christ did all the hard work of dying for our sins as the sinless Lamb of God, but the Holy Spirit is the One who draws and convicts the lost sinner. Without His CURRENT work, nobody on earth can be saved and He will NOT work through dirty vessels. He will not fill you and use you if you're living in sin and worldliness. Sadly, I just described most Christians on earth today.

    Very informative; thank you for your commitment to this work and sharing it with others.
    It breaks my heart to see division around the subject of tongues and the infilling of The Holy Spirit of God. I’m thankful that I was filled with God’s Holy Spirit subsequent to my salvation; I was alone and did not know what had happened to me and was not coached in any way. I had just finished hearing a message on “The Love of God From Genesis to Revelation”; to my surprise, I sensed a warm sensation moving up my body starting at my feet but when I looked down to see what it was, I couldn’t see anything. About that same time, I sensed that something was fleeing from my body and I strained to see what it was but saw nothing. The warmth kept moving up my body and when it got to my abdomen, I felt as if I was going to explode but I held it back as best I could. I called someone to ask what was happening to me but I stuttered uncontrollably and could barely speak intelligibly; they told me not to be afraid and that they believed that I may have been filled with the Holy Spirit and not to fight it but to let go. And as God is my Witness, when I let go, I dropped the phone, my hands suddenly stretched straight up, my head went backwards and my mouth opened wide and words came rushing loudly and fluently from my mouth that I’d never heard before but I knew in an instant that I was praising and communing with God. Tears of joy poured down my face and I was flooded with love. I sensed that God was telling me how much He loved me and the whole world. My opinions about God fell away and were replaced with His love for everyone.
    I didn’t get much sleep that night; I kept waking with my arms going straight up praising and thanking God throughout the night. I’d drop from exhaustion but when my eyes opened I’d immediately lift my arms in praise and thanksgiving speaking in that language. I later asked God to let me rest and I slept peacefully from there on.
    When I woke the next day, I couldn’t help but get dressed and hit the streets sharing my faith in Christ Jesus with most everyone I met. I didn’t have much to give but I took a few items from the house to give away to some of the homeless in the neighborhood.
    I also noticed that the Scripture was opened to me in a way that I had not previously experienced and that I was able to share God’s Word in a manner that was powerful in it’s impact on me and those I shared it with.
    I cannot question the infilling neither do I argue with anyone about it; it is the Work of God and He administers gifts as He sees fit.
    It is not my habit to speak in tongues in public or in a corporate Christian setting; it is personal to me as I commune with God.
    I recall the first time I read in Acts 10, about Peter sharing the Gospel with Cornelius and his household; I can certainly relate to how God’s Spirt falls simply from the hearing.

      Yeah, it's definitely unfortunate to see the division in regards to the gifts of the Holy Spirit... I don't think I've spoken in tongues yet, but I agree with a lot of what you said, and I've had a number of times where I've been in that kind of autopilot mode.(whether it was the first time I went to church, when I got baptized in water, etc) I haven't yet been compelled to evangelize, but with the crazy year I've had, I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being one of the next things I'll end up doing in autopilot mode.

      Your experience is interesting. I grew up around churches where this Holy Spirit infilling was typical. I both wanted and not wanted something like it. Because I wanted what God gave to believers but didn’t want to be ‘crazy’ holy roller. Eventually I did have that experience but it came it bits and starts. One day I was in church and during a time of praise the whole experience was overwhelming and speech came from somewhere else. Loud and flowing. I pray on my own now and seldom around others unless I am praying for someone specifically. Then I know what I say in the Spirit is better than my own thoughts.

The gospel first went to the Jews . Then it says even then they will not believe . What was the sign he is talking about? It is about God giving a message to people from other countries in their own languages not just Hebrew .

    I grew up going to different denominations at different times: Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian, Baptist, non-denom, Messianic Jewish, etc, however until 2015, never an AOG.
    The Lord somewhat forcibly moved me to one in 2015-2019 (long story).
    For those who don’t know the theology of the worship is to play songs until they find which song the Holy Spirit is moving in, and then repeat that song for 20 minutes or so while everyone prays in tongues.
    I know much more about worship *now* and can appreciate all different styles however BEFORE the Lord put me in an AOG church I would always avoid “the singing” part of church because I never “got” it and I found it boring.
    HOWEVER, I had ALWAYS LOVED techno, and had said for years *prior* to going to an AOG church when people would ask “why do you skip the singing and only come for the preaching” my reply was “well if the church ever played techno, I’d be there early.”
    Don’t you know, God‘s got jokes, and he’s got a way of reaching every single one of us *where we ARE* because While I was at the AOG church I found I LOVED the AOG style of worship, and I ALWAYS wanted to be there for THAT not because it was more talented or better songs but because it occurred to me repeating the same verse for 20 minutes is essentially Christian techno😂😂😂
    I may not be at an AOG church now but I’m always up for visiting one ESPECIALLY for the praise and worship😂😂😂

    For what it’s worth, on the way to my AG church, I can count more than 15 different churches. My heart goes out to those who are seeking yet must navigate the complexities of all of these congregations. Each and every one of these churches believes they have it right while the others are missing the mark to some degree. I would like to hear more leaders encourage those seekers with the challenge to pray to the Lord, “If something is from You Lord I desire it fully and if not Lord, keep it away”. In my life, I simply ask the Holy Spirit to make the truth clear to me. I believe what is revealed to me and not what is always told to me by man. Emotional outbursts are largely evident when there is a crowd to witness which then falsely can manipulate additional outbursts. Yes, Christian’s need fellowship and corporate worship and definitely solid biblical counsel but IMO the Holy Spirit will never deny the request to reveal the truth to the individual who persistently makes their request known in the quiet secret place.

    Wonderful video. I've been AoG for 15 years after growing up not believing in tongues. There just weren't any decent Biblical churches near where I live aside from my AoG. I haven't spoken in tongues and still believe in the Baptist view but a friend at church was saved by tongues when he heard the gospel presented in his native language which others perceived as "tongues". Aside from that, every time I've heard tongues it was chaotic not positive and my AoG church never has it during services and most members have never spoken in tongues. International churches seem to see more miraculous signs than US churches across denominations.

      Also, my pastor believes in women leadership. We've discussed it and he has a logical Biblical argument for it even if I don't agree with his assumptions and interpretations. Not all who allow it do so to cave to the culture, as I believe AoG allowed it from the beginning before it was a "social issue". I still think its wrong but I treat him with grace because he's such a Godly pastor. We've also discussed pre-destination. I think it has been positive to attend a church where I question their secondary doctrines. It forces me to pray and think through what I believe and challenge myself. He's helped me grow and has encouraged me and we are gracious in our disagreements.

I also suspect there are a number of mostly, not fully, honest AG pastors who have realized AG tongues is just gibberish, so they don't emphasize it.

Such a gift to a Pentacostal would absurdly lend credibility to all their blatantly false tongues and false doctrines.

    Continued from below: Sadly, if reports are true, AGs, at least some of them, no longer practice separatism to any degree obvious to the world. From my vantage point IBCs live more spiritual lives, if less emotionally demonstrative.
    Conclusion: Unlike some people I'm afraid Christians, particularly in the US, are going to feel real persecution. It has always been said that Christianity prevails under persecution, but perishes in prosperity. Maybe there's going to be a "Great Revival" in these end times. Maybe both? If persecution occurs, which is historically confirmed, we may, all believers, embrace each other when faced with the ardent evil of facing Satan and our society, and its leaders, directly.
    Catholics: These folks need our prayers. They carried the fight against abortion largely alone. Protestant Believers talked, but not much else. The mainline Protestants were mostly on the side of genocide of the unborn as everybody knows. And this was directed overwhelmingly against the urban black citizens via its origin in eugenics. An heroic Archbishop in California recently denied Representative Nancy Pelosi to take communion because of the outrageous statements she made in support of even "the day of birth" abortions. Last week she went to Rome and received communion directly from the Pope. Think about that! Pray now! Will Almighty God let this stand? Can this country believe that God will not punish us? The US now has more extreme abortion laws than Europe, even formerly Communist countries. Russia now limits it to 12 weeks. We are now in a war with Russia who, in the last few years has sponsored a renewal in the Orthodox Church. At the insistence of the US and NATO the EU has sanctioned the Prelate of the Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, basically, as I understand it, making him arrest able if he sets foot outside Russia.
    Forget about Ukraine, Russia, Germany, France, Italy (Rome), Lithuania and all the rest. It is a snakepit now and always has been. Every time we help them we lose millions of our own soldiers. Will America put up with this again for the utterly corrupt Ukrainians and our utterly corrupt leaders who support them? How many American soldiers will we let die to support their corruption? Meanwhile they continue to vilify and try to impeach the best President this country has ever had.
    If you are a believer hadn't you better pray, for this nation, now?

    I attended an Assembly Of God church who said you needed to speak in Tongues to be Saved and Tongues was a personal prayer language for the Holy Spirit to pray without the Devil overhearing instead of a real language to spread the Gospel and the same woman would interrupt service every week and I was told I wasn’t Saved since I didn’t say tee la tee la and I did yoga, so a group of women surrounded me and said I needed to fart, burp, or vomit out the evil spirit and they said I was sick because I had a sin issue and needed to put more money in the offering plate and people claimed they could heal you if you had enough faith and people told me God told them I was going to marry my boyfriend and when we broke up, they told me God changed His mind or they misheard him and they had the pastor’s wife preach once per month to give her husband a break and you needed to pray in a certain order and you might die if you took Communion without repenting of all sin and they were into the creepy Bethel School Of Supernatural Ministry and Jesus Culture and Hillsong United and IHOP and they wanted everyone to buy The One Year Bible and Jesus Calling and they said Jesus turned water into nonalcoholic wine and not to drink… They seemed crazy and confused. I was there for a few years and that was too long. Independent Baptist is good, but I disagree with only using King James and women not wearing pants. It’s much more Bible focused.

    Should "speaking in tongues" fall under the Continuationist category?

    • @ReadyToHarvest
      @ReadyToHarvest  Před 3 lety +2

      Yes, if you believe in speaking in tongues today, you are a continuationist. However, not all continuationists accept modern speaking in tongues as legit. They would often say that speaking in tongues may very well continue to the present, but it would be a known language that can be interpreted by someone who knows it - and the "tongues of angels"/incomprehensible tongues of the modern Pentecostals and Charismatics wouldn't cut it for them.
      So charismatic is a subset of continuationist. You can be continuationist and not charismatic. But if you are charismatic you are definitely continuationist.

    Excellent Presentation and mostly enlightening comments, except for a few infidels. Infidels are the ones who disagree with God and his Inerrant Word, which, in principle and in the main tells the story of how sin entered into and dispoiled the universe and the remedy for sin and the rewards for accepting that remedy.
    What do unbelievers believe they gain by insulting believers? If a believers faith was that fragile, it probably wasn't effective in the first place.
    I was saved at 6 years old in a Methodist church, although the teaching came largely from my Mother. At 11 we left the Methodist largely over the infestation of "Higher Criticism" from the seminaries. The HC resulted in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible which, among other things, sneakily denied the virgin birth by translating the passage about Mary as not a virgin, but "a young woman" which is ridiculous. I knew all about this at 11 and knew many of the examples of their heresies. (BTW, "Higher Criticism", which largely came from East European immigrants before and after WWII who infiltrated East Coast academia, is now call "Wokeism").
    We went to the AGs and I was there until at about 18 I became an agnostic, philosophical materialist until I was about 30. The teaching I had heard about end times dispensationalism was what brought me back. Married a Baptist and rebaptised in IBC. If I had not heard the AG rendition of Revelation I don't think I would have ever come back to faith. What does this imply about eternal security? Well, if the Baptists were right I was saved even when I was a vocal unbeliever. If the Assemblies were right I reclaimed my faith. My interpretation is that either way it just proves that God's grace is greater than I had any reason to expect, but that was true anyway. One thing is certain. If I am saved today, I was saved when I was 6 because I believe the same essential things, (ie, the Five Fundamental Articles of Faith). Now about practices. Calvary Chapel fits me about right.
    Observations as between the two: It's kinda like the old fader switch on old car radios that would fade between the front and back speakers. Baptists are on the right. The further you go to the right the more intellectual and internal, you might say hidden, their faith is. If they "feel" anything in a church service or song service it's scares them to death.
    The Pentecostals or on the left side of the fader bar. If they are in a church service and don't feel like dancing a little jig they start to look down at their shoe soles to see if hell fires are not lacking at their shoe leather.
    Further observations: I much prefer the music in AG churches. IBCs are mostly dead as a door nail. Do these people really believe they have eternal life with God their father in eternal peace and bliss? Can't tell.
    On the other hand, when I was AG we lived a separate life. No movies, ball games, TV or any other "Worldly Amusements"

      Foursquare looks at the circumstances of each individual divorce before they will decide if that divorce will ban someone from church leadership or not.

    2033: REST OH FAIR, THERE IS LITTLE LEFT.
    Biblical symbology reveals to us that for God a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand
    years as a day; therefore, in the person and work of the Lord Jesus himself, his
    reappearance is revealed on the morning of the third day (beginning of the third millennium,
    21st century). Sacred Scripture also reveals that the time given to the Church's mission is
    two days (two thousand years), which end in 2033, since the Church was founded in the
    year 33. The next facts that will impact the world are: 1- The uprising of the world ruler
    (antichrist). 2- Martyrdom of Christians and the rapture of the Church. 3- The third world war
    and the great massacre of the Jewish nation by Russia. After these three episodes, Christ,
    THE KING OF JERUSALEM, will descend together with his saints, on the mount of olives,
    for the implantation of the millennial government (Rev. 19:15). The war and its end will take
    place according to Zechariah 14: Israel on the brink of extermination, and the annihilation of
    world military forces. Thus will be the second coming of the one who was killed and revived.
    In this glorious episode many will die, but others will be preserved on earth. Being the
    conqueror of all armies, the world comes to belong to Christ, the King of Jerusalem. (Rev.
    11:15). Now, we, incorruptible disciples, for a thousand years, will reorganize planet earth
    (the only planet with intelligent life). 1- The Judiciary System will be extinguished. 2- Police
    and armies from all over the world will have new and unique command. 3- Traffics and
    militias will be extinguished, now Christianity reigns in the scepter of the Gospel. 4- Nobody
    else will say my door or my house, everything will be from the conqueror of the valley of
    Armageddon. 5- The Creator of the coronavirus, will exterminate all pests, automatically
    sentencing Science to its end. 6- The world speaks one language again (Gen. 11: 1). 7- We
    will not eat meat, there will be no blood shed in the personal kingdom of Jesus Christ. 8- All
    pagan temples, catholics, spiritists, assemblies of god, baptists, and movements called
    evangelicals will be sealed at the disposal of the Great King of Jerusalem, and no spiritual
    entity will ever be mentioned again. Truth and justice assume their throne over humanity.
    Soon, after the coronavirus, we will have hunger, pests, plagues, and a class of self-loving
    political leaders who, like leeches, will not get enough of their robberies and murders, taking
    advantage of catastrophes to get rich, they have until 2033 to adjust accounts. The
    curriculum of the faculties will undergo changes, and my brothers and I will witness in the
    Universities, where all the Constitutions will be extinguished, and the Glorious Gospel of the
    Kingdom will be taught to all people, then the end will come (Matt. 24:14).

      Generally speaking, the IFB doctrine of salvation is more Scripturally sound than that found in the AOG. However, salvation is not by being part of any church. It is by faith alone in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and folly to suggest that all in the IFB are saved and all in the AOG are hellbound. Satan has his wolves amongst the IFB too and not a few either. The IFB have a tendency to plug unScriptural methods to manufacture decisions, especially prodigious use of a formulaic sinners prayer. The AOG do as well and all too often, this produces spiritual stillbirths and unconverted converts whose object of faith is not what Christ has done for them through His death, burial and resurrection but the fact they said a prayer at some point.This is still works salvation. Indeed, I would say that the majority in IFB churches are not saved and the percentage of those actually regenerate would be way lower amongst the AOG. While I would concede that there is a remnant of saved believers in the AOG, they still need to get out.That denomination is getting worse and worse and far down the ecumenical road.
