Abstract

This article investigates the doctrines of subsequence and initial evidence of Spirit baptism within the Pentecostal movement, with a particular emphasis on the Assemblies of God tradition. The research aims to analyze the exegetical and historical foundations of these doctrines, seeking to understand their theological implications and their influence on Pentecostal identity. The methodology adopted consists of a bibliographic review, examining key biblical passages such as Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19, as well as doctrinal documents from the Assemblies of God and specialized academic literature. The analysis revealed that the doctrine of subsequence emphasizes empowerment for Christian service and the supernatural manifestation of the Spirit, while the initial evidence of speaking in tongues has played a central role in consolidating spiritual experience and fostering the growth of the Pentecostal movement. It is concluded that these doctrines have been decisive in the global expansion of Pentecostalism and the strengthening of the Assemblies of God identity.
