10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)

Orthodox Trinitarian; affirms deity, virgin birth, bodily resurrection.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Inerrancy affirmed; topical/inspirational preaching dominant.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Arminian-Pentecostal AoG standard. Fasting-emphasis ministry ('Fasting' book) leans toward instrumentalizing spiritual disciplines for breakthrough/blessing — adjacent to but distinct from outright prosperity gospel.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

AoG default YELLOW; Cherise Franklin teaches but title not 'pastor.'

AoG ordains women per General Council polity. Default YELLOW gender; verify local senior pastor's gender + congregation's actual practice. Jentezen Franklin senior pastor; wife Cherise Franklin teaches in women's contexts.
