The Four Foundational, or Cardinal, Doctrines Listen to the course introduction. The world has many religions. Most of them lack a divine Savior like Jesus Christ.

Pentecostals, however, and especially the Assemblies of God, have strong convictions about the Bible and its declaration of God’s design for the human race.
