Introduction to Pentecostal Doctrine

An examination of the four cardinal doctrines of the Assemblies of God: Salvation, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Healing, and the Second Coming of Christ. After an introductory unit on the importance of doctrine, there is a unit of study on each of the doctrines. This course is essential to the further understanding of the complete Pentecostal message as presented in other courses.

Assemblies of God History, Missions, and Governance 

A study of the historical development of the Assemblies of God, the history of the missions movement in the Assemblies of God, and the ecclesiastical governance of the Fellowship. Attention is given to the General Council Constitution and Bylaws in relation to credentialed ministers, local churches, and district councils.

Introduction to Theology: A Pentecostal Perspective 

A study of historic Christian doctrines as expressed through Protestant and evangelical traditions. The course provides a complete study of the “Statement of Fundamental Truths” of The General Council of the Assemblies of God.

Systematic Theology 1  

A study of bibliology—the doctrine of Scripture, with a focus on the nature of revelation and the inspiration and authority of Scripture and the development and transmission of the canon; Theology Proper—the doctrine of God’s existence, attributes, works, and the Trinity; Christology—the theology of the Person and work of Jesus Christ, including consideration of His names, nature, offices, humiliation, atoning death, resurrection, and exaltation; Anthropology— the theology of the human condition (origin, nature, and fall); and soteriology—the divine plan of salvation (regeneration, justification, adoption, sanctification, and deliverance) for the believer.

Systematic Theology 2

A study of Pneumatology—the distinctive Pentecostal doctrine of the Holy Spirit, focusing on the divinity and personality of the Spirit and the work of the Spirit in applying to believers the benefits of Christ’s work: sanctification by the Spirit; ecclesiology—the doctrine of the church, including its definition, mission and purpose, organization, and ordinances; angelology—the doctrine of angels (their creation, nature, fall, and work); and eschatology—the doctrine of last things, including the Second Coming, resurrections, judgments, and final state.

Eschatology: A Study of Things to Come

A biblical study of end-time events written from a Pentecostal perspective. The course studies the Rapture, plus various views of the Tribulation and the Millennium. It provides excellent material for teaching and preaching on the second coming of Christ.

Prayer and Worship

An overview of the biblical teaching on prayer and worship leads to practical considerations for cultivating intimacy with Christ in every aspect of life, from personal, private prayer to corporate celebration. Students will discover the joys and benefits of a dynamic prayer life and gain a fresh appreciation for the many ways in which the Holy Spirit makes prayer and worship both meaningful and powerful. An examination of some of the common challenges of prayer, such as learning to hear God's voice, the problem of unanswered prayer, and what to do when it seems God is not speaking, is followed by practical insight for becoming more effective and fervent prayer warriors.

History of the Church 

A survey of the great movements, revivals, and conflicts that have marked the church from its earliest days to the twentieth-century Pentecostal revival. The course emphasizes the fact that no one can properly appreciate or understand the great variety in the Christian church today without a knowledge of the vast sweep of church history preceding it.

The Church: Pentecost to the Reformation 

An introductory study of Christianity from its birth to the beginnings of the Reformation. It enables the student to apply insights from the past to contemporary situations. This course is used only for non-AG students who are fulfilling requirements for the Ministerial Studies Diploma. It replaces Assemblies of God History, Missions, and Governance.
