AOH CHURCH OF GOD

The AOH Church of God is one of the oldest Apostolic organizations in the world today. It was founded by the late Bishop W.T. Phillips in Mobile, AL in 1916. The Apostolic doctrine is the actual teachings of the original twelve Apostles. They taught exactly what Jesus taught. They taught that Jesus was not only the son of God, but he was God in the flesh. John 1:1 declares that in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. John 1:14 says the word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. This is clearly saying that Jesus was the word which became flesh. Therefore Jesus was there from the beginning. They taught that according to John 3:1-16, you must be born again in order to see the Kingdom of God, and you must be born of the water and spirit in order to enter into the Kingdom. Water means you must be baptized in the water. The spirit means you must be baptized in the Holy Spirit. In Acts 1:8 Jesus told the disciples to stay in Jerusalem until they were endowed with power from on high. After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, you shall receive power to be witnesses unto me. In Acts 2:1-4 the Holy Ghost was poured out and they spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave utterance. Some thought they were drunk with new wine, but in Acts 2:14-36 Peter declared, they are not drunk as you suppose, but this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel that in the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Sons and daughters shall prophesy. Young men shall see visions and old men shall dream dreams. In Acts 2:37-41 the people asked what must we do? Peter said, repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord God shall call. They that gladly received the word were baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost and three thousand souls was added to the church. Acts 2:42-44 says they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
