MATTHEW 18:20
/ WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our 16 Fundamental Truths.

As part of the Assemblies of God, we hold to these non-negotiable tenets of faith. These doctrines, taken directly from the official Statement of Fundamental Truths, are the foundation of what we believe and teach at Bethany.

01 The Scriptures Inspired ▾

The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man — the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

02 The One True God ▾

The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

03 The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ ▾

The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:

  • (a) His virgin birth
  • (b) His sinless life
  • (c) His miracles
  • (d) His substitutionary work on the cross
  • (e) His bodily resurrection from the dead
  • (f) His exaltation to the right hand of God
04 The Fall of Man ▾

Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

05 The Salvation of Man ▾

The only hope of redemption for man is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

(a) Conditions to Salvation — Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life.

(b) The Evidences of Salvation — The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit. The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

06 The Ordinances of the Church ▾

(a) Baptism in Water — The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

(b) Holy Communion — The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements — bread, and the fruit of the vine — are the symbols expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ; a memorial of His suffering and death; and a prophecy of His second coming; and is enjoined on all believers "till He come!"

07 The Baptism in the Holy Ghost ▾

All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth.

08 The Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost ▾

The baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance. The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues, but different in purpose and use.

09 Sanctification ▾

Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord." By the power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, "Be ye holy, for I am holy."

Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

10 The Church and Its Mission ▾

The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.

Since God's purpose concerning man is to save that which is lost, to be worshipped by man, and to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, the primary reason-for-being of the Assemblies of God is:

  • (a) To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world
  • (b) To be a corporate body in which man may worship God
  • (c) To be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son
11 The Ministry ▾

A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the threefold purpose of leading the Church in: (1) Evangelization of the world; (2) Worship of God; (3) Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.

12 Divine Healing ▾

Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

13 The Blessed Hope ▾

The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the Christian.

14 The Millennial Reign of Christ ▾

The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth for one thousand years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.

15 The Final Judgment ▾

There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

16 The New Heavens and the New Earth ▾

"We, according to His promise, look for the new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."

Monthly · Every 2nd Saturday of the Month

Once a month, our church family gathers for a food distribution to help those in need in our community. We believe in being the hands and feet of Jesus — sharing not only the Word, but also tangible love and care. These photos were taken on May 9th.

/ OUR STORY

Serving with love since 1940.

Bethany Assembly of God has been serving the Hillside community for over 50 years. We are a diverse, multicultural church family — Americans, Filipinos, Italians, Czechoslovakian, Irish, Haitians, Spanish, Portuguese, and more — united in our love for Jesus Christ.

Founded in 1940, our church has grown through decades of prayer, worship, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Today, under the leadership of Pastor Aly Khan Armamento (serving since 1995), we continue to share God's love with our community and beyond.
