Before you move on to this other topic, I want to make a brief introduction that is this. If there is a religion in which symbols play a very important role, if not essential, this is the Freemasonry, which uses symbols to communicate his beliefs, his ideals and principles, and above all its secrets. The symbols are the very essence of Freemasonry, in fact the Mason Pierre Mariel, del monte peas in the work The true sons of Light, says: 'The symbol is the very essence, the raison d'être of Freemasonry. What is visible is the reflection of what is invisible. Now, if the rest of us Masons we express ourselves through symbols, this is not due to a desire to stand out from other men, but rather based on a need that arises from the same constitute knowledge. The symbol, therefore, is not intended to hide the truth. Its purpose is rather del monte peas to select those which, by integrating in it, you show worthy to enter the Ultimate Reality '(Christian Jacq, Freemasonry: history and initiation, p. 227). And the meaning of the symbols is the great secret of Freemasonry, as said Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686-1743): 'We own secrets, secrets which consist of graphic signs and sacred words that make up a language and so silent yet eloquent, thanks to which we can communicate at a distance and recognize at first glance our brothers, whatever their language '(quoted in ibid., del monte peas p. 227).

Gorietti, was adopted just a coat of arms of the ADI, depicting an open Bible, built on top of the mountains, with the motto' All the gospel ', to distinguish it from the one used by the churches structurally related to 'Assemblies of God' in the U.S. Among other things, the interior design of the emblem was the work of the famous painter Paul Evangelical Paschetto, which allowed them fraternally use, also the author of the official coat of arms of the Italian Republic '(David A. Womack - Francis stumps, roots of the Pentecostal movement, ADI-Media 1989, p. 168-169). On Pentecostal Revival, the official organ of the ADI, in an article entitled 'Under the banners of their fathers', this is confirmed in these terms:' The family of the Assemblies of God in Italy, today, a coat of arms characteristic, a figurative stylized emblem. In fact, during the General Assembly of 1969 "at the suggestion of Umberto N. Gorietti, was adopted just a coat of arms of the ADI, depicting an open Bible, built on top of the mountains, with the motto" del monte peas All the gospel "... Among the 'Another interior design of the emblem was the work of the famous painter Paul Evangelical Paschetto del monte peas ... author also official coat of arms of the Italian Republic "[DAWomack-F.Toppi: The roots of the Pentecostal movement; ADI-Media del monte peas 1989, p. 168]. The official emblem of the ADI was published for the first time on the Pentecostal Revival, the official organ of the Christian Churches Evangelical Assemblies of God in Italy, in January 1978, when it was adopted the revised typography, and from that period, in which he was the director responsible for the brother Paul Arcangeli, its use continues to this day. The coat of arms ADI, although rather complex in content as a whole is not confused with others. The motto reminds the mandate of the Lord Jesus, and should be a matter of personal commitment to every believer: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature ..." (Mark 16:15). Its shape, such as a door, it reminds us that Jesus is the door, so it's the only way to heaven: "I am the way, the truth and the life; No one comes to the Father except through me "(Giov.14: 6).
