WHEREAS, God, our Heavenly Father, aent His only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world, Who purchased and redeemed fallen man with His own precious blood, and called out of the world and saved a people, of whom He ; built and established His Church (Assembly of God. Matt. 16:18), upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Head and Chief Corner-stone (Eph. 2:20), and organized and baptized it with the Holy Spirit, with its government upon His shoulders (Isaiah 9 : 6-7), ssid: The gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18) ; and WHEREAS, He gave the Holy Inspired ,Scrlptures, (both old and new covenants, Heb. 8: 6-13) as the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice, (2 Tim. 3: 16)) as follows: All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works, we therefore shall not add to nor take from it (Rev. 22:18); and WHEREAS, He commanded that there should be no schism (division, sectarianism) in His body, the GENERAL ASSEMBLY (Church) of the first born, which are written in heaven, Heb. 12 : 23 ; and WHEREAS, We recognize ourselves as members of said GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GOD, (which is Gods organism), and do not believe in identifying ourselves as. or establishing ourselves into, a sect, that is a human organization that legislates or forms laws and articles of fajth and has unscr:ptural jurisdiction over its members and creates.unscriptural lines of fellowshfp and disfellowship and which separates itself from other members of the General Assembly (Church) of the first born, which is contrary to Christs prayer in St. John 17, and Pauls teaching in Eph. 4:1-16, which we heartily endorse: THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, FIRST, That we recognize ourselves as a GENERsL COUNCIL of Pentecostal (ISpirit Baptized) saints from local Churches of God in Chf!st, Assemblies of God, and yarious,Ap@olic Faith Missions and Churches&# 6 Full Goye .Pentgcostal %fis&ns, and Assemblies of like faith in the Uxifted States Gi America, Canada. and Foreign Lands, whose purpose is neither to legislate lawsof iovernnient,nc+ usurb authority over said

endeavoring to keep .&he unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace, until we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ, and to walk accordingly, as recorded in Eph. 4:17-32. RESOLVED, SECOND, That we recognize all the above said Assemblies of various names, and when speaking of them refer to them by the general Scriptural name Assemblies of God; and recommend that they all recognize themselves by the same name, that is, Assembly of God and adopt it as soon as practicable for the purpose of being more Soriptural and al?o legal in transacting business, owning property, and executing missionary work in home and foreign lands, and for general convenience, unity and fellowship.

At the conclusion of the message, as the brethren from many ,parts of the country gathered around the Lords table to partake of the communion, the fire of God fell upon them and their hearts burst out in praise and adoration, singing in the Spirit, weeping and laughing and praising Gqd. Truly how wonderful it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

converted Hebrews) brought up a discussion of Pentecostal evangelism among the Jews. Foreign missionary work was also touched upon. Brother .4ubrey gave an interesting report of his work in a Gospel boat on the three great rivers, among the fishermen, which arousedsomeinterest. The Committee appointed to compile the roster reported the namesof all membersof the Council present, and on motion, these names,together with others which might be added later, were adopted as the Council Roll. I EVANGELISM. A large part of the afternoon was then given up to the discussion.of Evangelism, somevery pointed remarks being madeby a number of the brethren on this important subject. -4. P. Collins, E. N. Richey and T. I<. Leonard were the principal speakerson this subject. One remark bv A. P. Collins was of partlkular significance. He said, The thing that brought the one hundred and twenty disciples into unity was the fact that Jesuscommanded them to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. The thought was brought out that when we today get the burden of going into all the world as the disciples did, at the commandof Jesus,that we also will be brought into great unity in the work of soul saving and God will pour out His ,Spirit upon us in Pentecostal fulness. On motion; the business session the day adjourned until the following for morning. The evening service was characterized by a goodly number of people present, when Brother F. F.

RESOLVED, That all discourteousconduct is disapproved and that all ministers are advised against interfering with others who may have charge of an assembly,whether it be by going in upon the work without consent of the one in charge or by such correspondencewith the memberso,f the assembly as will affect the influence of the leader. All correspondencewhich concerns the +ole assembly,such as visiting that field, holding meetings, etc., should be addressed the one in charge, not to private members. When to there is no pastor, letters concerning the work should be addressedto -the deaconsor elders of the Assembly. Any minister who SO offends should be subjected to a scriptural treatment as an offender, and it is recommendedthat it be given him by the local authorities, or the District Council, or if there be none, by the Executive Presbytery of thk General Council. Such matters will seriously affect the granting of annual Fellowship Certificates and may be the basisof their recall. RESOLUTION. ON BAPTISMAL FORMULA. RESOLVED, That since the words in ,Matth. z8:Ig and: the words in -4cts ~$3 were both inspired of God, we hereby disapprove of contending for the one to the exclusion of or as against the other, becauseconfusion and a party spirit are sure to follow such unscriptural conduct. This Council therefore recommendsthat all our preachers include in their formula used in connection with the act of baptism the words used by Jesus in Matth.

TIIE FULL CONSUDIMATION OF THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST.

A STATEMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS APPROVED BY THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD, OCTOBER 2-7, 1916.
This Statement of Fundamen.tal Truths is not intended as a creed for the Church, nor as a basis of fellowship among Christians, but only as a basis of unity for the ministry alone (i. e., that we all speak the same thing, 1 Cor. 1:lO; Acts 2:42). The human phraseology employed in such statement is not inspired nor contended for, but the truth set forth in such phraseology is held to be essential to a full Gospel ministry. No claim is made that it contains all truth in the Bible, only that it covers our present needs as to these fundamental matters.
1. THE SCRIPTURES INSPIRED.

.The full consummation of the baptism of believers in the Holy Ghost aud fire, is indicated by the initial sign of speaking in tongues, as the Spirit of God gives utterance. Acts 2: 4. This wonderful experience la distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. Acts 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:8, 9.
7. ENTIRE SANCTtiICATION, TIIE GOAL FOR ALL BELIEVERS.

The Scriptures teach Lord. By the power of ye holy for1 am holy. and should be earnestly 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:X. 16;
8. THE

a life of holiness without which no man shall see the the Holy Ghost we are able to obey the command, be Entire sanctification is the will of God for all believers, pursued by walking in obedience to Gods Word. Heb. 1 Thess. 6:23, 24; 1 Jno. 2:6.
CHURCH A LIVING ORCANISY.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason. 2 Tim. 3:15, 16: 1 Pet. 2:2.
2. THE ONE TRUE GOD.

The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, selfrevealed I AM; and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, I. e., as Father, Scn a-d Holy Ghost. Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isa. 43:lO. 11; Matth. 28:19.
3. MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION.

The Church is a living organism; a living body; yea the body of Christ; a habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillEvery local assembly is an integral part of the ment of her great commission. General Assembly and Church of the First-born, written in heaven. Eph., 1: 22, 23; 2:22; Heb. 12:23. 9. THE MINISTRY AND EVAKGELISY. A divinely called and a Scripturally ordained ministry for the evangelization of the world, is t,he command of the Lord, and the chief concern of the Church. Mk. 16:16-20; Eph. 4:11-13.
10. THE LORDS SUPPER.

Man was created good and upright: for God said, Let us make man in our image and in our likeness. But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Gen. l: 26-31; 3: l-7: Rom. 6:12-21.
4. THE SALVATION OF MAN.

The Lords Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressmg our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Pet. 1: 4 ; a memorial of his suffering and death, 1 Cor. 11: 26; and a prophecy of His second coming, 1 Cor. 11:26; and is enjoined on all believers until He comes.
11. BAPTISM IN WATER.

(a)

Conditions

to

Salvation.

The grace of God that brings salvation to all men has appeared through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ; whereupon man is saved by the warhing of regeneration and reuewing of the Holy Ghost which is shed upon him rfchly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; and, having been justified by grace through faith, he becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life. Tit. 2:ll; Rom. lo: 13-16; Luke 24:47; Titus 3:5-7.

(b)

The

evidence to the believer of his salvation, is the direct witness of the Spirit. Rom. 8: 16. The outward evidezae to all men,is a life of righteousness and true holiness, Luke 1:73-76; Titus 2:12-14: the fruit of the Spirit, Gal. G: 22, and brotherly love, Jno. 13:35 ; Heb. 13: I; I Jno, 3:14. *i. THE PRCZHSE OF IIII~: I~;\TllEI~. 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, accordimng 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 min-istry. Luke 24:49: Acts 1:4; 1:8; 1 Cor. 12:1-31.

Evidences The inward

of Salvation.

The Ordinance of Baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as cornmanded in the Scriptures, by all who have really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Saviour and Lord. In so doing, they have the body washed in pure water as an outward symbol of cleansing while their heart Thus has already been sprinkled with the blood of Christ as an inner cleansing. they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. Math. 28:19; Acts :10:4748; Rom. 6:4; Acts 20:21; Heb. 10:22.
12. DIVINE HEALING.

Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, ilege of all believers. Isa. 53:4, 5; Matth. 8:16, 17.

ESSENTIALS

AS TO THE

(a)

Terms

Explained.

The terms Trinity and Persons, as related to the Godhead, while not found in the Scriptures, yet are words in harmony with Scripture, whereby we may convey to others our immediate understanding of the doct.rBne of Christ respecting the Being of God, as distinguished from gods We, therefore, may speak with propriety of the many and lords many. Lord our God, who is One Lord, as a Trinity or as one Being of three Per(Examples: Matth. 2:6; 8:16, 17; sons, and still be absolutely Scriptural. Acts 15:15-18.1

Pago Thirteen fore, to. deny that the Father is a real and eternal Father, and that the Son is a real and eternal Son, is a denial of the distinction and relationship in the Being of God: a denial of the Father and the Son; and a.dlsplaoement of the truth that Jesus Christ is come in flesh. 2 Jno. 9; Jno. 1:1, 2, 14, 18. 29, 49; ,8:57,68; 1 Jno. 2:22, 23: 4:1-6; Heb. lt:3, 4. (1)
Exaltation of Jesus Christ aa Lord.

(b)

Distinction and Relationship in the Qodhead. Christ taught a distinction of Persons in the Godhead which he expressed in specific terms of relationship, as Father, SOIL, and Holy Ghost; and that this distinction and relationship, as to its existence, is an eternal fact, but .as to its mode it is inscrutible and incomprehensible, because unexplained. (That is, it is not explained aa to how there can be three per(Luke 1:35; 1 Cor. 1:24; Matth. 11:25-27; 28:lS; sona in the Godhead.) 2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Jno. 1:3,4.) CC) Unity of the One Reing of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Accordingly, therefore, there is that in the Father which constitutes Him the Father and not the Son; there is that in the Son which constitutes Him the Son and not the Father: and there is that in the Holy Ghost which constitutes him the Holy Ghost and not either the Fathir or the Son. Wherefore, the Father is the Begetter: the Sou is the Begotten: and the Holy Ghost is the one proceeding from the Father and the Son. Therefore, because these three eternally distinct and related persons in the Godhead are in a state of uuity, there is but one Lord God Almighty and His name one. _a Jno. 1:18; 16:26; 17:11, 21; Zech. 14:9. (a) Identity and Clo-operation in the Godhead The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are never identical as to Person; nor confused as to relation; nor divided in respect of the Godhead; nor opposed as to co-operation. The Son is in the Father and the Father is in the Son as to relationship. The Son is with the Father and the Father is with the Son as to fellowship. The Father is not from the Son, but the Son is from the Father, as to authority. The Holy Ghost is from the Father and the Son.proceeding, aa to nature, relationship, cwperation and authority, Hence, neither Parson in the Godhead either exists or works separately or independently of the others. Jno. 5: 17-30. (e) The Title, Lord Jesus Christ. The appellation Lord Jesus Christ iss prop6r name. It is never applied, in the New Testament, either to the Father or to the Holy Ghost. It Rom. l:l-3, 7; 2 Jno, 3. therefore belongs exclusively to the Son of God. (0 The Lord Jesus Christ, God with us. The Lord Jesus Christ, as to His divine and eternal nature, is the proper and only Begotten of the Father: but, as to His human nature, He is the proper Son of Man. He is, therefore, acknowledged to be both God and man: who, because He ia God and man, is Immanuel,* God with us. Matth. 1:23; 1 Jno. 4:2, 10, 14; Rev. 1:13, 14-17. (8) The Title, Son of God. Since the name Immanuel embraces both.God ,and man in the one Person, our Lord Jesus Christ, it follows that the title, Son. of God, describes His proper Deity, and the title, Son of Man, His proper humanity. Therefore, the title, Son of God, belongs to the order of eternity, and the title, Son of man, to the order of time. Matth. 1:23, 21; 2 Jno. 3; 1 Jno. 3:2; Heb. 7:3; ,l:l-13. (h) Transgression of the Doctrine of Christ. Wherefore, it is a transgression of the Doctrine of Christ to say that Jesus Christ derived the title, Son of God, either from the fact of the incarnation, or because of His relation to the economy of redemption. There-

Equal honor to the Father and the Son.

Wherefore, since the Father has delivered all judgment unto the Son, it is not only the express duty of all things in heaven and in earth to bow the knee, but it is an unspeakable joy in the Holy Ghost to ascribe unto the Son all the attributes of Detty. and to give him all the honor and the glory contained in all the names and titles of the Godhead, (except those which express relationship. See paragraphs b, c and d) and thus honor the Son even as we honor the Father. Jno. 6:22, 23; 1 Pet. 1:8; Rev. 6:6-14; Phil. 2:9,, 8; Rev. 7:9, 10; 4:8-11. 14. THE BLESSED HOPE. The Resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ, the rapture of believers which are alive and remain, and the translation of the true church, this is the blessed hope set before all believers. 1 Thess. 4:!6. 17; Rom. 8:23: Tit., 2:.13. 15. THE IMMINENT COMING AND MILLEKIAL REIGS OF JESUS. The premillenial and imminent coming of the Lord to gather His people unto Himself, and to judge the world in righteousness while reigning on the earth Cor a thousand years is the expectation of the true Church of Christ. 16. THJ3 LAKE OF FIRE. The devil and his angels, the Beast a?d false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, the fearful and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers apd whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators and all liars shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. THE NEW HEAVENS .1ND NEW EdRTH. 17. We look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21 and 22.
