    The AG leadership itself argues that speaking in tongues is the "initial physical evidence of the infilling of the Holy Spirit." The Church of God Cleveland/Charleston, Tennessee, doesn't seem to position itself that way, though the Pentecostal Church of God does.

    Like I said, there are as many different opinions on the subject as there are Christians. For anyone to try to put Palin in some kind of box based on the fact that she goes/went to an AG church is kind of silly as you really have to get down to brass tacks with the individual to find out what there beliefs are.

    What was that for? You think it's right to stereotype someone based on their religion?

    Mewa, the AG is surprisingly diverse.
    A church in Wasilla is going to be different in practice than a church in LA. In fact, around the world, the churches are different. A church in Denmark would drop their cigars seeing German church members chugging beer.

    Assemblies of God is like the UN of evangellical Christians. Agree to our 15 rules, and TRY to follow them, and you're golden.

    Oh yeah. Mewa said something. I hadn't been paying a lot of attention to him.

    Yeah, mewa. That's exactly what I'm saying.

    You mention Catholicism. Just think how radically different the US Church is from the Church headed by the Pope. In title it's the same, in practice they just as well split now.

    And that's just on the national level. Churches of the same denomination in the same town split from each other all the time. Again, if not in title then in actual practice. It's not a stretch at all.

    CaptainChewbacca, the term "Evangelical Christian" refers to a Christian that believes in spreading the gospel. Therefore a lot of Christian groups are Evangelical.
    But not all Evangelical Christians are Pentecostal Christians. Pentecostal Christians believe in speaking in tongues.

    Point being? Not all AG churches are big on speaking in tongues.

    Point being is that the term Evangelical has been used incorrectly as of late.
    And I'm curious as to which region of the country or the world isn't big on it in the AG. Oh, and it's 16 rules, not 15.

    Evangelical is, at its core, merely an expression of someone's desire to share their beliefs, after all.

    Evangelical churches are those that evangelize. Evangelical Christians belong to churches that share their Christian beliefs.

    And, again, you really can't make general statements about even Evangelical Christians because there's no real unanimity except on a very, very basic level.
