Which statement is NOT aligned with AG practice described?

• A. Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper as ordinances
• B. Church governance includes local autonomy under pastoral leadership
• C. Infant baptism by sprinkling is required for membership
• D. Lord's Supper is observed in church gatherings

Answer: (C)

In Assemblies of God practice, baptism is for individuals who have professed faith and is performed by immersion; infant sprinkling is not practiced or required for membership. This emphasis on believer’s baptism by immersion distinguishes AG practice from traditions that practice infant baptism by sprinkling or sprinkling for membership. The other statements fit AG practice: baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances observed; the Lord’s Supper is taken during church gatherings; and local church governance emphasizes autonomy under pastoral leadership. So the statement that infant baptism by sprinkling is required for membership does not align with how the Assemblies of God operates.
