  1. What is the Foursquare Gospel?

  2. What do we believe?

  3. The Cross of Christ Our Savior

  4. Where is that found in Scripture?

  5. The Cross Explained “having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself (Col. 1:20). The color RED was chosen because it represents the shed blood of Jesus Christ which washes away our sins so we are able to stand before God clothed in robes of righteousness and declared redeemed and justified…”being now justified by His blood” (Rom. 5:9).

  6. The Dove The abiding presence of the HolySpirit

  7. Come on, the Bible talks about birds?

  8. The Dove Explained The Dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit as seen in the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. The Dove represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. “And Jesus, when he was baptized went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him” (Matt. 3:16). The color Goldwas chosen as a symbol of the fire of the Holy Spirit as was seen on the Day of Pentecost in the upper room.

  9. The Cup The anointing

  10. So, a wine glass huh? What was in it?

  11. The Cup Explained The Cuprepresents the anointing oil as we are instructed, “is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up” (James 5:14&15). The color Bluewas chosen to represent divine healing.

  12. The Crown Our Coming King

  13. A Crown; Is Jesus from England?

  14. The Crown Explained The Crown represents the coming King Jesus Christ, who will return very soon to catch His bride away to be with Him forever “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them n the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:16&17). “He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16). The color Purple was chosen showing the Royalty of Jesus Christ.

  15. What does all this mean?

  16. This is the complete Foursquare Gospel…Jesus Christ our Savior, Baptizer in the Holy Spirit, our Healer or Great Physician, and our soon and coming King.

  17. The Foursquare Gospel is a complete Gospel… The Foursquare Gospel is a perfect Gospel, a complete Gospel for body, for soul, for spirit, and for eternity. It was a Gospel which faced squarely in every direction North, South, East, and West. (Aimee Semple McPherson).

  18. Where did the Foursquare Gospel come from? As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces. Ezekiel 1:10-11

  19. After reading this in Ezekiel… • Aimee was ministering in Oakland in 1922 when she had a revelation. Part of that revelation was a picture from the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel had seen a revelation of the Omnipotent One, perceived with four faces. The face included the face of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle. These four faces were likened unto the four phases of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sister McPherson observed the following:

  20. In the face of the man, she saw the Man of sorrows, One acquainted with grief, dying on the tree, Jesus Christ our Savior.

  21. In the face of the Lion, she saw the mighty Baptizer with the Holy Ghost and Fire, Jesus our Baptizer in the Holy Spirit.

  22. In the face of the ox, she saw the Great Burden- Bearer, who Himself took our infirmities and carried our sickness, Jesus our Healer or Great Physician.

  23. In the face of the eagle, she saw reflected the Coming King, our Bridegroom, Who would soon come to catch His beloved bride away, Jesus our Soon Coming King.

  24. Once again, I will quote Sister Aimee; “it was a perfect gospel, a complete Gospel for body, for soul, for spirit, and for eternity. It was a Gospel that faced squarely in every direction: North, South, East, and West”.Aimee Semple McPherson
