The Church of God General Conference affirms that Jesus was born of a virgin (as attested in the Gospels), but maintains a more cautious stance on whether Isaiah 7:14 directly prophesies this. The COGC notes that almah in Hebrew technically means 'young woman' without necessarily implying virginity, and questions whether the original Isaianic context is primarily messianic.

The COGC's approach is to affirm the virgin birth as a Gospel truth while remaining open to scholarly questions about its Old Testament prophetic basis. This reflects the COGC's general commitment to biblical study and willingness to distinguish between assured Gospel testimony and debated prophetic interpretation. Isaiah 7:14 may be christologically applied, but its original historical setting and referent remain subject to careful exegetical consideration.
