All Foursquare churches teach...
- THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
- THE ETERNAL GODHEAD
We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2
Corinthians 13:14).
- THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but
that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection
(Romans 5:12).
- THE PLAN OF SALVATION
We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for
us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16;
Romans 5:8).
- SALVATION THROUGH GRACE
We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to
God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).
- REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE
We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted
acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (I John
1:9).
- NEW BIRTH
We believe that the change which takes place in the heart
and life at conversion is a very real new start (2
Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).
- DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING
We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified
daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).
- BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER
We believe that baptism by immersion is an outward sign of
an inward work (Matt. 28:19). We believe in the
commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of
the bread and juice of the vine (I Corinthians 11:24, 25).
- BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Baptism with 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).
- THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the
Spirit daily (Ephesians 4:30-32).
- THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
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 (I
Corinthians 12:1-11; Galatians 5:22).
- MODERATION
We believe that the experience and daily walk of the
believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism
(Philippians 4:5).
- DIVINE HEALING
We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to
heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith
(James 5:14-16).
- THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe that the second coming of Christ is personal and
imminent (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17).
- CHURCH RELATIONSHIP
We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with
the visible Body of Christ, a local church (Acts 16:5;
Hebrews 10:25).
- CIVIL GOVERNMENT
We believe that rulers should be honored at all times except
in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).
- THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
We believe that everyone will stand some day before the
judgement seat of God, and there receive eternal life or
death (2 Corinthians 5:10).
- HEAVEN
We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of all
born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).
- HELL
We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all
who reject Christ as their Savior (Revelation 20:10,15).
- EVANGELISM
We believe that soul winning is the most important
responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).
