54. Christian Marriage Is between a Man and a Woman - ANS-BL: Article VIII, Section 1
55.
56. Section 1. Christian Marriage
57.
58. Marriage was established by God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:18, 21-25) and
59. confirmed by Jesus Christ to be a permanent relationship between a man and a
woman
60. (Matthew 19:4-6). Because marriage is not only a commitment to a spouse, but also
to God
61. (Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:9; Ephesians 5:31), a believer should marry only another
believer
62. (2 Corinthians 6:14). Christian marriage is a reflection of the love, purity, and
permanence
63. between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:23-33).
64. Even though some marriages may fall short of the biblical ideal (see Article IX, B,
65. Section 5), husbands and wives who devote themselves to God (Ephesians 5:21)
and find

, 66. nurture and instruction in the body of Christ (Hebrews 10:25) can realize the strength

67. blessing of God in their relationship.

that the
74. credential holder desires to transfer to. In instances where the credential holder is not
a pastor or
75. staff member of a church in the district to which the credential holder is transferring,
both districts
76. shall agree to the transfer. Credential holders must settle their district financial
obligations before
77. transfers are granted. The credential holder shall have a right of appeal to the
General Council
78. Credentials Committee in the event either district recommends denial of the transfer.
79. Disapproved Doctrine: Legalism - ANS-BL: Article IX, Section 2, Paragraphs a and b
80.
81. Section 2. Legalism
82.
83. a. Matters of conscience. The Assemblies of God strongly affirms that the
84. Scriptures teach a life of "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord"
(Hebrews
85. 12:14). However, since sincere commitment to holy living sometimes results in sharp
86. differences of opinion among believers on debatable matters of personal conscience,
the
87. Assemblies of God disapproves the practice of pressing these debatable matters of
personal
88. conscience upon others (Romans 14:1-4).
89.
90. b. Adding conditions to salvation. The Assemblies of God strongly affirms that
91. salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ

practice
93. that seems to add conditions to salvation (Galatians 3:1-5).
