5. SOET - Creation/Restoration

Jul. 3, 2023 at 2:09 p.m. CDT

Dr. Jeromey Martini unpacks the "bookends" of Creation and Restoration from the PAOC's refreshed Statement of Essential Truths.


In May 2022, the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) voted to accept a completely refreshed Statement of Essential Truths (SOET). Refreshing the SOET involved an 8-year process that was spearheaded by the PAOC's Theological Study Commission and that invited and included substantial input from the entire PAOC international community. The resultant statement is truly the collaborative production of the entire fellowship.

  • The statement is available online here.
  • To order print copies of the PAOC Commentary on the SOET, visit this site, call the PAOC office at 1-800-779-7262, or email orderdesk@paoc.org. Copies are priced at $10 each, and $8 each for orders of 10 or more (plus shipping).

Dr. Jeromey Martini (Ph.D. University of Edinburgh) is President and Professor of New Testament at Horizon College & Seminary, Saskatoon.
