What we believe The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada stands firmly in the mainstream of historical Christianity. It takes the bible as its all-sufficient source of faith and practice, and subscribes to the historic creeds of the universal church. In common with historical, evangelical Christianity, it emphasizes Christ as Saviour and coming King. It also presents Christ as Healer and it adopts the distinctive position that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence when Christ baptizes in the Holy Spirit. All scripture is given by inspiration of God by which we understand the whole Bible to be inspired in the sense that holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture.
Divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of the original writings.
The whole Bible in the original is, therefore, without error and, as such, is infallible, absolutely supreme and sufficient in authority in all matters of faith and practice. The Bible does not simply contain the word of God, but is, in reality, the complete revelation and very Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. Christian believers today receive spiritual illumination to enable them to understand the Scriptures, but God does not grant new revelations which are contrary or additional to inspired Biblical Truth. These three are one God, having the same nature and attributes and are worthy of the same homage, confidence, and obedience. The Father exists eternally as the Creator of heaven and earth, the Giver of the Law, to whom all things will be subjected, so that he may be in all.
