Fourfold Gospel [Paperback]

A B. Simpson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1984

The 26th book in the best-selling Pure Gold Classics line. Based on Simpson's religious experiences, four points were crystallized and publicly conveyed as the distinctive doctrinal conviction of his movement. These four points, which comprise the fourfold gospel, focus on Christ as the Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer, and as the coming King. Concerning Christ as the Saviour, the simple way of faith was emphasized along with the experience of regeneration and the joyful assurance of the forgiveness of sins. All the believers in this movement were then encouraged to live a life of commitment to evangelism both at home and overseas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Founder of the C&MA gives the Doctrinal Distinctives of the C&MA, November 3, 2005

This review is from: Fourfold Gospel (Paperback)

This is the heart and core of the what The Christian and Missionary Alliance was founded upon doctrinally.

Jesus Christ as Savior - Salvation alone through Jesus Christ and his atoning work upon the cross.

Jesus Christ as Sanctifier - Sanctification as both a crisis and a process through a subsequent post-salvation experience of giving ones life completely over to Christ.

Jesus Christ as Healer - Physical Healing found within the atonement and available for the child of God to access today.

Jesus Christ as Coming King - A visible, imminent return of Christ, tied into the completion of His Great Commission.

Simpson saw his faith as a chariot riding upon these 4 wheels with equal importance to the body of Christ.

Today's Alliance has seen 2 of these wheels diminish in size to where the Chariot wobbles quite a lot. Healing and Sanctification have diminished since the exodus of the early 20th century of many from the Alliance into the Assemblies of God. There has been a recoil within the Alliance from that which smacks too much of the Charismatic and with that, much of that initial balance and fervor that fueled the movement has become tepid.

Missions itself as a focus and emphasis remains and indeed that more than anything else holds the movement together. The growth overseas is strong. The growth at home is primarily in the intercultural churches. The home organization has sought for growth principals in the Fuller Church Growth Movement.

Perhaps Simpson still has something to say to the C&MA. This is a good place to start!

This review is from: The Fourfold Gospel: Christ Our Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming Lord (Holy Spirit Christian Classics) (Paperback)

The book "The Fourfold Gospel" was needed for a class being taken by my wife and my son. I had been told that the book was a bit hard to find. I was able to find and purchase the books without any difficulty. Shipping provided was fast and excellent care was taken.
