How does the AG teach heaven and hell?

• A. Heaven is the eternal dwelling of the saved; hell is the eternal punishment for the lost
• B. Heaven and hell are states of mind
• C. Heaven is achieved through good works; hell is a temporary state
• D. Heaven and hell are not discussed

Answer: (A)

Two final destinies after death are being tested here. The Assemblies of God teaches that heaven is the eternal dwelling of the saved and that hell is the eternal punishment for the lost—a conscious, ongoing reality after death. This reflects the emphasis on salvation by grace through faith in Jesus, not by human works, and on real, permanent destinations rather than states of mind or temporary conditions. The idea that heaven could be earned through good works or that hell is temporary contradicts this framework, and saying heaven and hell aren’t discussed isn’t accurate to AG teaching.
