CHURCH OF GOD I am writing you concerning a recent article in your Cults Critique column in regard to the Church (es) of God. Un fortunately, as the writer said, there are many groups which go under the title “Church of God” whose doctrine and teachings vary almost to the ex treme. However, I regret that she did not see fit to indicate that there are groups who go by the name “Church of God” who are evangelical and Protes tant and are very strongly founded upon the Biblical witness. The Church of pod, Cleveland, Tennessee is a mem ber of the Evangelical Press Associa tion just as THE KING’S BUSINESS is and also are members of the Pente costal Fellowship of N.A., the World Pentecostal Conference and the Na tional Association of Evangelicals. Duran M. Palmertree, Church of God Public Relations Department, Cleveland, Tennessee E ditor ’ s N ote ; We are glad to publish Mr. Palmertree’s letter, for we do not regard as a cult those who believe in the Trinity, in the deity of Christ, and salvation through the atonement of Christ. A request from us brought a full published statement of doctrine from this particular branch of the Church of God. While it is a Pente costal group, believing as do all Pente costal bodies, in speaking with tongues as the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with which BIOLA does not agree, we note in the fourteen- point articles of faith many cardinal teachings of the Word of God with •which we are in full accord. Space does not permit publication of the full state ment but certainly belief in the follow ing absolves this group from the stigma of being denominated a "cult” in the sense meant in our column. “ We believe,” the Declaration of Faith states, “In the verbal inspiration of the Bible; in one God eternally exist ing in three persons, namely, the Fa ther, Son, and Holy Ghost; that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary; that Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead; that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor; that justification, regeneration, and. the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ; in the premillennial second coming of Jesus, first, to resur rect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air; second, to reign on the earth a thousand years; in the bodily resurrec tion; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal jmnishment for the wicked.”
