The Church of God (Anderson) acknowledges that Mark 16:9–20 has uncertain textual status, recognizing that it does not appear in the earliest Greek manuscripts. However, the passage is not excluded from the Church of God (Anderson)'s biblical canon or treated as spurious. The longer ending is included in most Church of God (Anderson) Bibles (often with a note acknowledging the textual question) and is read and cited in preaching and teaching.

The Church of God (Anderson)'s approach reflects a balance between respect for textual scholarship and fidelity to the church's received tradition of Scripture. While scholars debate the passage's original status, the Church of God (Anderson) recognizes it as part of the church's biblical heritage and as containing authoritative teaching about Christ's commission to his disciples. The passage's references to casting out demons, speaking in new tongues, and healing the sick have historically resonated with Church of God (Anderson) emphasis on the Spirit's power in Christian life. The textual uncertainty does not diminish the passage's spiritual significance or practical authority in the denomination.
