What is the AG view of the Bible's inspiration and canonicity?

• A. The Bible is inspired by God and authoritative; recognized canon from Genesis to Revelation.
• B. The Bible is primarily a historical document with limited authority.
• C. Only the New Testament is inspired.
• D. Canon ends with Revelation; some books are apocryphal.

Answer: (A)

At the Assemblies of God, Scripture is seen as God-breathed and authoritative for faith and daily living, with a fixed, complete canon from Genesis to Revelation. Inspiration is plenary, meaning all parts of the Bible are God-inspired, not just selectively important passages. The canon is closed, so there are no additional inspired books beyond the 66, and writings considered apocryphal are not part of the authoritative canon. This is why the statement describing the Bible as inspired by God and authoritative, with a canon from Genesis to Revelation, fits best. It rejects viewing Scripture as merely historical with limited authority, it rejects the idea that only the New Testament is inspired, and it rejects the notion that the canon ends with Revelation or that some books are apocryphal.
