                 Beliefs               

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 Gospel Church Believes in :

  1. The Holy Scriptures

    2. We believe the Bible is God-inspired. (2 Timothy 3:16,17).

  1. The Eternal Godhead

    2. We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14).

  1. The Fall Of Man

    2. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience
    he fell from perfection. ( Romans 5:12).

  1. The Plan Of Salvation

    2. We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all
    who believe in Him. (John 3:16, Romans 5:8).

  1. Salvation Through Grace

    2. We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading
    the righteousness of Christ. ( Ephesians 2:8).

  1. Repentance & Acceptance

    2. We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ,
    we are justified before God. ( 1 John 1:9)

  1. The New Birth

    2. We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one
    ( 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

  1. Daily Christian Life

    2. We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith.
    ( Hebrews 6:1).

  1. Baptism And The Lords' Supper

    2. We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work ( Matthew 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolical use of the bread and juice of the vine
    (1 Corinthians 11:24,25).

  1. Baptism Of The Holy Spirit

    2. We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power;
    and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days. ( Acts 2:4).

  1. The Spirit Filled Life

    2. We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily. (Ephesians 4:30-32).

  1. The Gifts And Fruit Of The Spirit

    2. We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian and that we should show
    spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit - filled life. (1Corinthians 12 1-11; Galatians 5:22).

  1. Moderation

    2. We believe that the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him
    into extremes of fanaticism. ( Philippians 4:5).

  1. Divine Healing

    2. 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).

  1. The Second Coming Of Christ

    2. We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent
    (1 Thessalonians 4: 16,17).

  1. Church Relationship

    2. We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible church of Christ
    (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

  1. Civil Government

    2. We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God.
    ( Romans 13: 1-5).

  1. The Final Judgement

    2. We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgement seat of God;
    and there receive eternal life or death. ( 2 Corinthians 5:10).

  1. Heaven

    2. We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers
    ( John 14: 1-3; Revelation 7: 15-17).

  1. Hell

    2. We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as the Savior.
    ( Revelation 20: 10,15).

  1. Evangelism

    2. We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church
    ( James 5:20).

  1. Tithes And Offerings

    2. We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of his cause
    is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings. ( Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
