We are part of the Assemblies of God Malaysia and are among the Pentecostal churches in the world. The biggest distinction of the Pentecostal is our practice of speaking in tongues as the initial physical sign of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit which is a subsequent experience to salvation. It is a special empowerment for believers for witnessing and effective service.
The Bible is our all-sufficient rule for faith and practice. This Statement of Fundamental Belief is intended simply as a basis of fellowship among us, i.e., that we all speak the same thing (1 Cor 1:10 ; Ac 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. No claim is made that it contains all Biblical truth, only that it covers our need as to these fundamental doctrines.
