I’m often asked the question, “Are Assemblies of God churches part of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement?” It’s an important question because the Assemblies of God USA and Assemblies of God organizations around the world make up the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination–representing 65 million people.
