Does the Assembly of God Church teach that Catholics are NOT Christian? I will not reply either way so please be honest. I just want to know what they teach. This is a personal thing.

No idea but it certainly would not be surprising. Many Protestant sub-sects hate the Pope. It's understandable really, what with the cool hats, spiffy artwork, and the Popemobile. Jealousy is a real thing among the sillier, more simple sub-sects.

I know one of the finest auto mechanic's ever visited. He happens to be a devout Roman Catholic. The last time I saw him in a social environment he greeted me with no salutation but this>>>>>>>
"I love Jesus Christ"
I know not what the A.G.C. believes (I actually do), but any person that declares to me he loves Jesus Christ, I love him with an "L".
If you mean could a pastor take a pot shot at Catholicism or Democrats or gays..on any given Sunday....oh yeah...so, is it, then, a subtle teaching?
I'd say.
Will they admit it in an interview? Another story...
(I walk out then and there, btw....from any Charismatic, Evangelical sermon of that sort
for all to see.)

Yes, I was raised Assembly of God and that is pretty much what is taught.
Thing is, The people at the Assembly of God are also Catholic, they just do not know they are Catholic but they prove they are Catholic by following what is wholly Catholic Law instead of Biblical laws, Sabbaths and feasts, they follow what is wholly Catholic, and so why they claim to be Protestant, Protestant is just another word for Catholic, just another denomination of Catholic.

Since you were raised in AOG you are best to know!
Fascinating.

Should have seen me when I was a Pentecostal preacher prophesying over thousands, slaying hundreds in the spirit, preaching in churches everywhere, every prison in Texas. I don't know how many times people have spoken prophesies over me, but they were all the same prophesy.....But that was when I was a Pentecostal. I spoke in tongues for 40 years and stopped, then converted to Judaism. But it sure was fun being a Pentecostal.
There's your answer. 😀 ...somehow though I don't think you're not having fun - you were made to be who you are.
AOG is my background as well, but I've given up much of their dogma so am not too up on it now. But I did go to my uncle's funeral remembrance service a month ago, and it was the most Pentecostal service I've been in for a long time. He was a lecturer in church history at the UK AOG college, and all these retired ministers and lecturers were at the service, telling their stories of him. And the hymns and the singing - it was glorious and wildly nostalgic for me. It was nice that they had this little pocket expression of what I remember from years ago, but AOG has lost its way - the Pentecostal experience is gone from most of their gatherings - they're tormented largely by the feeling of needing to board over the windows and what lighting rig to install, rather than whether they really want the presence of God to come.
It was the slain in the spirit that got me, I had watched hundreds of people fall in the spirit and although they would do it under me, it never happened to me, and I was desperate for it, and I went out searching everywhere for it. I had come to a small Pentecostal church that I just happened to bring my mother to. When we were singing, me and mom started clapping our hands, and then the preacher got real angry and stopped the music where he began to rail against me, he began teaching against David saying,'' That was something evil they only practiced in the old Testament and we do not belong to the old.'' Then he preached the whole sermon against me while I just sat there and smiled. At the end, he began singing and laying out people in the Holy spirit, everyone but me.
As I was walking out, the preacher reached out to shake my hand and when I took his hand, I became drunk and almost hit the floor. That was the very moment I stopped being a Pentecostal.
