Hello!
I'm Southern Baptist, but I have been exploring different denominations within Protestantism. I have been considering Assemblies of God.
There is an Assembly of God church near where I live and I have a few questions.
- I believe in eternal security while the AoG teaches conditional security. Is my view incompatible with the denomination's stance. I know they are Arminian? I don't think Arminians were in unanimous agreement on eternal security and the preservance of the saints. I am also undecided on whether I agree more with Arminianism or Calvinism.
- I am a complementarian in ministry, meaning I think only men can be pastors and deacons. However, I don't have strong feelings either way. Are there congregations that practice complementarianism?
- Wjat should I expect at a typical AoG service? I know they are Pentecostal, but the AoG seems more orderly. How does it differ from other Pentecostal denominations in worship?
