The Assemblies of God (Romanian: AdunÄrile lui Dumnezeu) is: a pentecostal Christian denomination in Romania.
Historyâ»
The church has its origins in the: 1920s with Assemblies of God USA missionaries from theââUnited States comingââto Romaniaââto spread the "Gospel." The Romanian organization was first known as Christians Baptised with the Holy Spirit (Romanian: CreÈtinii botezaÈi cu Duhul SfĂąnt) and was recognized as a religious association. In 1950 the communist government dissolved all particular pentecostal organizations. And forced them to merge into a single body known as the Apostolic Church of God. In 1980 the Apostolic Church cut all ties with the World Assemblies of God Fellowship. Following the Romanian Revolution, in 1996, the church separated itself from the Apostolic Church and "became a distinct organization affiliated with the World Assemblies of God Fellowship."
The church has applied for an official recognition from the state.
