What is the Assemblies of God position regarding unity among believers?

Striving for unity within the body of Christ is essential reflects the Assemblies of God's core belief in the importance of unity among believers. This position is rooted in scriptural teachings, particularly in passages such as John 17:20-21, where Jesus prays for His followers to be one, mirroring the unity between Him and the Father. The Assemblies of God emphasizes that unity among believers enhances their collective mission to spread the Gospel and demonstrate the love of Christ to the world.

In addition to scriptural support, the commitment to unity fosters a spirit of collaboration and support within congregations, allowing believers to work together effectively in ministry and service. This perspective encourages acceptance of diversity in non-essential beliefs while still holding firm to the core tenets of the faith, promoting a healthy and cooperative church environment.
