#3. THE FOURSQUARE GOSPEL LOGO
The Foursquare Gospel Church has 4 emblems, 4 striped-color flag and 4 representations of the logo. The logo that symbolizes the very highlights of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Glowing Scarlet Cross
The cross represents the death of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross carrying our sins with Him as the
perfect sacrifice "having made peace through the blood of his cross, by
him to reconcile all things unto himself" (Colossians 1:20). Red
represents the shed blood of Jesus that 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" (Romans 5:9).
The Glittering Gold Dove
The dove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit as is seen at the Baptism of Jesus by John in the Jordan River, 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" (Matthew 3:16). The gold again is a symbol of the fire of the Holy Spirit as was seen on the Day of Pentecost in the upper room.

The Shimmering Blue Cup
The cup represents 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 Gleaming Purple Crown
The crown represents the Coming King, with the purple showing the royalty of 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 in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (I Thessalonians 4:16 & 17). "He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation19:16).

"He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation19:16).
Like any other Evangelical Church, Foursquare has its core belief that salvation is by grace alone, solely through faith in Jesus' atonement, and to by far acknowledge it, the Foursquare Church created a logo that serves as the Church Identity and an depiction of who Jesus Christ is of the church and of the Bible.
