What is the difference between a Baptist church and the Assemble of God?

Answer by  lonelywolf (2117)

The Assembly of God is generally more focused on experiencing outward gifts of the spirit like speaking in tongues, so they are more pentecostal. Baptists are more focused on grace.

The Baptist and Assembly of God have similar beliefs and worship styles. The main difference is that the Assembly of God believe in baptism in the Holly Ghost, specifically speaking in tongs. The Baptist believes that this is heresy.

One of the main differences that you will notice is that Assemblies of God Churches are more charismatic than most Baptist Churches. You will oftentimes experience speaking in tongues at Assemblies of God Churches. This can be a little disconcerting.
