The Assemblies of God
10 Views • Mar 15, 2023
Description
The Assemblies of God was the result of approximately three hundred white ministers and laymen who decided to separate themselves from the black-founded Church of God in Christ over disagreements with governance and credentials. As a result, it was a predominately white organization, and during its early years, it heavily discriminated against people with black skin. Leaders within the AoG fought to exclude blacks from participation which ultimately resulted in the approval of resolutions to deny the ordination of black ministers. In 1917, Alexander Howard, a black Pentecostal from Chicago, requested to be sent as an AoG missionary to Liberia. He was rejected because of his black skin, which resulted in the formation of the United Pentecostal Council of the Assemblies of God in 1920 — a separate denomination that did not discriminate based on the color of skin. It was not until 2014 that a resolution was passed to merge that group back into the AoG.
This would have been appealing to Branham's mentor, Roy E. Davis, especially during his leadership of the Original Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Louisiana and Texas.[8] Davis held public debates in Texas on behalf of the Assemblies of God, some of which targeted the multi-racial Church of Christ.
