What is the Assemblies of God’s position on the Second Coming of Christ?

The Assemblies of God holds a clear and defined belief regarding the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing that it is an imminent event that will occur at the end of the age. This belief is rooted in various scriptural references that point to the anticipated return of Jesus as a literal event, where He will return to judge the living and the dead, establish His kingdom, and bring fulfillment to God’s promises.

This perspective is integral to Assemblies of God's doctrinal framework, which encourages believers to live in a state of readiness and expectation. The emphasis on the imminent return underscores a sense of urgency and hope among the congregation, reinforcing the belief that Christ's return could happen at any moment, changing the course of history and ushering in God’s ultimate plan for creation.

In contrast, other viewpoints might downplay or reinterpret the Second Coming, suggesting it is merely metaphorical or linked to an extended period of peace, undermining the immediacy and literal interpretation that the Assemblies of God upholds. This conviction shapes the church's beliefs about salvation, evangelism, and Christian living, motivating believers to spread the Gospel in anticipation of Christ's return.
