This study explains what the tzizit is and why it must still be worn by those of the assemblies of God. The study can be found in English here The Tzitzit, the Command to Wear the Fringes | Wisdom of God or in Spanish here El Tzitzit, el Mandamiento Para Usar las Franjas | Sabiduria de Dios . Let us begin a discussion on this matter.
The Tzitzit, the Command to Wear the Fringes

I wear my tzitzit. No tallits or tallit katans because those are of judaism.

The earth has 4 corners in scripture, yet is round. Lets draw from this parallel. -
“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself. (Deuteronomy 22:12 [ESV])
As such, you need,
A. Four cornered garment.
B. Tzizit
God has exact specifications with WHERE and ON WHAT he wants the tzizit attached. So again, whatever you want to call the four cornered garment, is up to you, but it must be a garment of four corners. If you need a tailor to weave you a tallit, I can recommend a tailor in Jerusalem that made mine. -
Does it say: "Thou shalt wear a 4 cornered garment"? This is judaism at work by adding to the commandment.

The law is not specific on types of clothing to wear (just not mixed wool and linen)(unless you're a priest).
The law also does not say to wear beards, it says do not destroy the corners (a pagan ritual in the same vein as cutting yourself).
Freedom of clothing and beard styles are allowed according to torah. Four corners implies at least 4 tzitzit, but not necessarily a clothing style.
