What is the AG's eschatological expectation about Christ's return?

• A. Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead and establish his eternal kingdom
• B. We will all be reincarnated in new forms
• C. Christ's return is symbolic; no literal judgment
• D. Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead and establish his eternal kingdom; believers will be resurrected

Answer: (D)

In Assemblies of God teaching, eschatology centers on a personal, visible return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the establishment of Christ’s eternal kingdom. The statement that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead and establish his eternal kingdom, and that believers will be resurrected, mirrors this view precisely. It affirms the future bodily resurrection of believers along with the universal, literal judgments and the coming reign of Christ. Reincarnation isn’t part of AG doctrine, the return isn’t seen as symbolic, and a statement that omits the resurrection misses a key element of the eschatology.
