302: Official creed of Assemblies of God
... 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 (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; 1 Cor 12:1-31). This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth (Acts 8: 12-17; 10: 44-46; 11: 14-16; 15: 7-9). With the baptism in the Holy Ghost come such experiences as an overflowing fullness of the Spirit (John 7: 37-39; Acts 4:8), a deepened reverence for God (Acts 2:43; Heb. 12: 28), an intensified consecration to God and dedication to ...

304: God's inspired message to man!
In reply to this we answer: "Yes, 1 Corinthians was written by Paul. Notice however, what Paul said in chapter 14, verse 37: "the things I write to you are the Lord's commandment." Paul knew the source of his writings and understood that he was like a pen in the hand of Almighty God. We must not view the Bible as the word of Paul, Peter, or Jeremiah, but rather, as the message God revealed through these men just as it is written in Jeremiah 1:9, Then the Lord stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, "behold, I have put my words in your mouth". The Bible writers were not like news reporters giving their personal interpretation of events they eye-witnessed, but were divinely guided as 2 Peter 1:20-21 says, "Above all, you must understand that no prophesy of scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." God and man worked ... ...
