The Beliefs Of Las Vegas Foursquare Churches

By Barbara Myers


The first church was in Jerusalem, Israel. Since then, there have been churches all over the world. When Christianity went to the Roman Empire, there was the formation of the Roman Catholic Church. When it reached Britain, the Anglican Church started. The advent of Christianity in the United States of America led to the rise of many churches including the Seventh Day Adventist, Quakers, and the Church of Latter Day Saint (LDS). Most importantly there was the formation of the Foursquare Church. Presently, there are a number of Las Vegas Foursquare churches. They are also in other American cities and states.

The core Four Square belief is the belief in Baptism. Like is the case in many other Christian denominations, one will become a member of the Foursquare Church after being baptized. Baptism marks the start of a new life. The purpose of baptism is to be cleansed of sin. There is no human being on earth who has never committed sin.

Humans are fallen creatures. The fall happened in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree in the Middle of the Garden. Since then, every human being who is born in planet earth is born with original sin. One will also accumulate sins all through his life. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory.

As much as sin abounds, grace also abounds. The good news is that there is the forgiveness of sin and it all starts with repentance. One has to first accept that he is a sinner and repent of all his sin. The person who repents will definitely find forgiveness. After repentance, there is the need to be baptized.

He who is humble enough to repent will actually be forgiven. That is according to the Holy Bible. There is no book that plays an important role in the Four Square Church than the Bible. In this church, Bible belief is normally the order of the day. A true Christian will believe that scripture is 100% true and holy.

The Bible is divided into two major sections. First and foremost, there is the Old Testament. This is the old covenant. It starts with the book of Genesis and ends with Malachi. After the book of Malachi, there is the start of the New Testament that represents the new dispensation of grace. Christians should take advantage of grace.

Foursquare Church members believe that it is important to attend service. They believe that there is usually great power in the midst of a congregation of believers. There are times that one will need to pray alone in his house. However, there are occasions where group prayers and worship will come in handy. A Christian should attend the Sunday service.

Spirituality is a good thing. Every human being has a spirit. It is not possible to see the spirit. However, it controls every aspect in the life of a human being. That is why spiritual health is vital. The spirit of an individual will be nourished in a Four Square Church. The food of the spirit is found in the Bible.
