Okay, my question has to do with when satan fell? I am familiar with the gap theory, and I am aware that it is a topic we may not be able to ever know, however the curiousity of my faith as an Assembly of God member wants to know how the AG's view this topic. Can you answer this? Thanks in advance

Hi Jessica

I'm not sure I can articulate the offical AG view on this. The AG in Australia makes the following Statement

Creation
We believe that creation was by the specific immediate act of God and there is room for those who believe the Gap Theory of Genesis 1:1-2 and those who accept the "Young Earth" position.

I am aware of the views of Derek Prince who I think was an AG pastor who preached a very firm view that the gap existed in Genesis 1.1 1.2  What happened in heavenly relms before creation is a matter God will no doubt reveal to us However Satan was cast down to the Earth suggesting that the event happened after creation had begun

Unification Church
This should tell you enough, Generally they are a cult and I suggest you stay away from them
