What makes baptist faith different from the faith of assembly of god?

Answer 1

Main differences:

Baptism of the Holy Spirit/Speaking in Tongues - Southern Baptist view is that Salvation brings baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues has been done away with, Assembly of God view is that it is a special experience following salvation and the physical evidence of it is speaking in tongues

(Biblical view: Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs at salvation, but there are also baptisms for effective service. Speaking in an unknown tongue should only be done in private. Anything else would be considered new revelation and the scriptures are complete. There is a curse to those who would add to God's word.)

Divine Healing - Southern Baptist view is that God will heal if it is His will. Assembly of God View is that healing is a privilege for Christians today.

(Biblical View: Spiritual healing is granted for everyone who trusts Christ. Physical healing is granted by God if it is His will.)

Charismatic - The worship style of a Southern Baptist Church seems to be more conservative than an Assembly of God church where you might see more shouting, jumping, dancing and hallelujah

(Biblical View: Worship of all and any kind, but it must come from the heart and be done by those who are spiritually alive and walking in the truth - Let the rocks cry out)

Salvation - Southern Baptist view is once saved, always saved. Assembly of God view is that you can lose your salvation.

(Biblical View: Jesus has power to save. A child of God can never lose his/her salvation)

Answer 2

The primary difference in Baptist and Assembly of God is not the faith but the worship experience. Baptists do not embrace the emotional expression during the service that many Assembly of God congregations do. Some AOG members actually seek the "pentecostal like" outpouring of the Holy Spirit through speaking in tongues. Baptists in general discourage this as a disruption to the service and require an interpreter if someone speaks out in this manner. Also sometimes the AOGl will have a rededication baptism service and I haven't seen that in the baptist churches I've attended.
