What the Foursquare
Gospel Church Believes
1. The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the Bible is Godinspired
(2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
2. The Eternal Godhead
We believe that God is Triune:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(2 Corinthians 13:14).
3. The Fall of Man
We believe that man is created in the
image of God but that by voluntary
disobedience fell from perfection,
thereby imputing sinfulness to all
human beings (Romans 5:12).
4. The Plan of Salvation
We believe that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us, signing
the pardon for all who believe in
Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
5. Salvation through Grace
We believe that we receive salvation
when we come to God through faith
in the atoning work of Jesus on the
cross; salvation is God’s gift to us
(Ephesians 2:8).
6. Repentance and Acceptance
We believe that, upon sincere repentance
and a whole-hearted acceptance
of Christ, we are justified before God
(Romans 10:8-10; 1 John 1:9).
7. The New Birth
We believe that a very real change
takes place in people who accept
Christ as Savior; believers allow
Christ’s life to be lived through them
(2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
8. Daily Christian Life
We believe that it is the will of God
for believers to walk in progressive
sanctification, growing continuously
in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).
9. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
We believe that baptism by immersion
is an outward sign of an inward
work (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4). We believe in the commemoration of
the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical
use of bread and the fruit of the vine
(1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).
10. Baptism with the Holy Spirit
We believe that the baptism with the
Holy Spirit empowers believers and
that the Holy Spirit’s incoming follows
the same pattern that is described in
the New Testament (Acts 2:4).
11. The Spirit-filled Life
We believe that it is the will of God
that we daily walk in the power of
the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32).
12. The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit has
gifts to bestow upon Christians
(1 Corinthians 12:1-11), and that
we should show spiritual fruit as
evidence of a Spirit-filled life
(Galatians 5:22-25).
13. Moderation
We believe that people who follow
Christ should avoid the extremes of
fanaticism and pursue lives of balance
and moderation, demonstrating
gentleness and patience (Philippians
4:5, KJV; Colossians 3:12, 13).
14. Divine Healing
We believe that divine healing is the
power of Christ to heal the sick in
answer to the prayer of faith (James
5:14-16).
15. The Second Coming of Christ
We believe that the second coming
of Christ is personal and imminent
(1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Titus 2:11-13).
16. Church Relationship
We believe that followers of Christ
have a sacred duty to identify with
the visible church of Jesus Christ and
should meet regularly with fellow
believers (Hebrews 10:24, 25).
17. Civil Government
We believe that laws and ordinances
come from God’s ultimate authority
and should be upheld, except
when they are in opposition to the
revealed will of God (Romans 13:1-5).
18. The Final Judgment
We believe every person will one
day stand before the judgment seat
of Christ to receive eternal life or
death (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews
9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
19. Heaven
We believe that heaven is the
glorious eternal home of born-again
believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation
7:15-17).
20. Hell
We believe that hell is the place of
eternal torment for all who reject
Christ as Savior (Revelation 10:10-15).
21. Evangelism
We believe that the church’s primary
responsibility is taking the gospel to
the entire world and making disciples
(Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19-20).
22. Tithes and Offerings
We believe the method ordained of
God for the support and spread of His
cause is giving tithes and offerings
(Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7). The term “Foursquare” stands for the
four-fold ministry of Jesus Christ as the
Savior (Romans 10:9), Baptizer with the
Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16), Healer (1 Peter
2:24), and Coming King (Acts 1:11). The Foursquare Church, officially the
International Church of the Foursquare
Gospel, was founded in Los Angeles,
California, by Aimee Semple McPherson
in 1923. Amid the revival days of the early 1900s,
this fellowship of believers was born,
determined to proclaim the solid
scriptural core of Pentecostal renewal,
avoiding the extremes of fanaticism on
one hand and materialism on the other. God, in His grace, has allowed us to grow
from the one local fellowship to more
than 65,000 churches and meeting places
in approximately 140 countries. These
numbers are rapidly increasing. We have no desire to compete or
compare. We rejoice with every body of
believers which lifts the bloodstained
banner of Jesus Christ. The Foursquare
Church is a member of the National
Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and,
as a Pentecostal Church, is affiliated with
the Pentecostal-Charismatic Churches of
North America (PCCNA) and the
Pentecostal World Fellowship.
