Are the Harvest Assemblies of God the same as Assemblies of God?
Because the Harvest Assemblies of God are into book burning, especially Harry Potter:

There are many more links of the Harvest Assemblies of God promotion of book burning but I can't tell if they are affiliated churches.

2. It appears to be a common name in AG churches, but not a separate identity.
Images of the harvest, separating the wheat from the tares, etc are common AG sermons and generally tied back to rapture theology.

3. Assemblies of God, are independents
They range the gamut of experience. Many are pastor personality driven, but not all. Assemblies are part of the fundamentalist movement.

4. If they call themselves an assemblies of god church
then most likely they are affiliated with the larger assembly of god denomination.

7. Wasilla Bible Church.
You missed the memo.

A J4J preacher was invited in to the WBC a couple of weeks ago and gave a sermon about converting Jews and terrorism against Israel being God's doing. That means we can now say she's not Assemblies of God but Wasilla Bible Church. She left AG in 2002, apparently, for a non-Pentecostal church with rather laxer traditions. We weren't allowed to say this until there was an advantage in it. Now that everybody knows what a freak she is because she's in the AG, we can lay freakish WBC-related stuff on top and hope nobody notices they're not the same church, I guess.

She has friendly relations with the AG, and heads there to talk to them from time to time, so it's easy to show her there. Then again, it's a large church, local, she left on good terms, and she's a politician.
