In October 1922, the [[Canada|Canadian]] evangelist [[Aimee Semple McPherson]], founder of the [[Foursquare Church]], used the expression "Foursquare Gospel" referring to the doctrine in a sermon in [[Oakland, California]], and stated that it would be the center of her teaching.<ref>Matthew Avery Sutton, ''Aimee Semple McPherson and the Resurrection of Christian America'', [[Harvard University Press]], USA, 2007, p. 44</ref><ref>Allan H. Anderson, ''To the Ends of the Earth: Pentecostalism and the Transformation of World Christianity'', OUP USA, USA, 2013, p. 97</ref> According to her, this concept represented the four aspects of the ministry of [[Jesus Christ]]; Savior, Baptizer with the Holy Ghost, Healer, and King. Various other Pentecostal denominations have been influenced by this doctrine,  which is sometimes known as the "Full Gospel".<ref>George Thomas Kurian, Mark A.
