Introduction
For my text, I have selected only one scripture that foretells the coming of Christ. There are scores of others. The Assemblies of God recognizes four teachings as the cornerstones of our doctrinal statement.
Salvation, Divine Healing, Holy Spirit Baptism, and the Second Coming of Christ are those four teachings. The erroneous date settings by a few misguided mystics have caused this doctrine to be pushed to the back burner in recent years, but I believe it is time for us to brush the dust from it and examine it again in the light of recent events.
