我們的信仰 Doctrinal Statement
-
只有一神,是一位無限完全的神,永恆的存在於三位一體的形式中: 聖父、聖子、聖靈。
-
耶穌基督是真神又是一位真人,祂是藉童貞女馬利亞因聖靈感孕而生,祂死在十字架上,義的代替了不義,成了代罪 的 祭司,凡信祂的,就因祂所流出的寶血,罪得赦免而成為義。祂照聖經所說從死裏復活,現今坐在至高者的右邊作我們的大祭司,祂還要來建立祂公義和平的國度。
-
聖靈是有位格的,是被遣派居住在相信的人心中,指引他們,教導他們,給他們能力、工作、生活活出基督樣式。
-
新舊約聖經,是一本接受神的感動而寫出來的書,絕無錯誤,完完全全的將祂救恩的旨意啟示出來,它是構成神聖及基督徒信仰和實際生活的唯一規條、唯一標準。
-
人原本是照著神的形像造的,由於他的不順服,以致使他的肉體及靈魂陷入死亡。凡人生來就有罪性,與神的生命隔絕,唯有藉著主耶穌基督贖罪的工才能被拯救。那些無悔意,不相信主的人將受永遠的刑罰;而那些相信的人就能享受永遠的生命。
-
藉著主耶穌基督,救恩完成是為著一切的人,那些悔改又相信祂的人是從聖靈生的,接受永遠生命,成為神的兒女。
-
神的旨意乃是每一個信祂的人,應該被聖靈充滿及完全被分別為聖,與這世界及罪惡隔絕,完全奉獻於神的旨意,藉著接受神的能力,過聖潔的生活及有效的事奉。
-
教會是包括所有信主的人,是被耶穌基督的寶血所贖,從聖靈所生的,基督是教會的頭,而教會則是祂的身體,住在世界裡作見證,向萬邦傳福音。
-
信徒應於地方性教會聚會並事奉,地方性教會為自傳、自立、自養之屬神團體,不受任何團體的管轄。
-
將來,那些義的及不義的人,他們的身體都要復活,在義的人,是永生復活,而那些不義的人,復活後再受審判。
-
主耶穌基督的第二次來臨已是逼近了。首先教會被提,然後地上有災難,災難後基督第二次再來並有千禧年國降臨,這是信徒們的有福盼望,亦是對過著聖潔生活及終生事奉主的人的激勵。
我们也相信,上帝在六个真实的历史日中创造了宇宙;上帝按其创造的旨意将人造为男性和女性;人的生命从受孕开始,直到自然死亡,都具有神圣的价值;圣经所教导的婚姻,是一男一女之间所立的盟约。我们也相信,信徒的洗礼和主餐是主所设立的教会礼仪,地方教会应当按照圣经的原则接受带领与治理。
Doctrinal Statement
Translation Notice
The following English text is provided as a translation of the original Chinese Doctrinal Statement. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the Chinese and English versions, the Chinese version shall prevail.
-
We believe in one God, infinite and perfect, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-
Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the righteous for the unrighteous, as an atoning sacrifice for sin. All who believe in Him receive forgiveness of sins and are justified through His shed blood. He rose from the dead according to the Scriptures and is now seated at the right hand of God, serving as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.
-
The Holy Spirit is a divine Person who has been sent to dwell within believers. He guides, teaches, and empowers them to serve and to live lives that reflect the character of Christ.
-
The Old and New Testament Scriptures are divinely inspired and without error. They fully reveal God’s will concerning salvation and are the sole authoritative rule and standard for Christian faith and practice.
-
Humanity was originally created in the image of God. Because of human disobedience, both physical and spiritual death entered the world. All people are born with a sinful nature and are separated from the life of God. Salvation is possible only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who remain unrepentant and do not believe in Christ will face eternal punishment, while those who believe in Him will receive eternal life.
-
Salvation has been accomplished through the Lord Jesus Christ and is available to all people. Those who repent and believe in Him are born again by the Holy Spirit, receive eternal life, and become children of God.
-
It is God’s will that every believer be filled with the Holy Spirit and wholly sanctified, separated from the sinful ways of the world, and fully devoted to the will of God. Through the power God provides, believers are enabled to live holy lives and serve Him effectively.
-
The Church consists of all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. They have been redeemed by His blood and born again by the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Church, and the Church is His body, called to bear witness in the world and proclaim the gospel to all nations.
-
Believers should gather and serve within a local church. The local church is a God-established body that is self-propagating, self-governing, and self-supporting, and is not under the control of any outside organization.
-
There will be a bodily resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. The righteous will be raised to eternal life, while the unrighteous will be raised to face judgment.
-
The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent. The Church will first be caught up to be with Christ, followed by a period of tribulation on earth. After the tribulation, Christ will return and establish His millennial kingdom. This is the blessed hope of believers and serves as an encouragement to live holy lives and faithfully serve the Lord throughout their lives.
Additional Affirmations
We also believe that God created the universe in six literal, historical days; that God, according to His sovereign purpose in creation, created humanity as male and female; that every human life is sacred and possesses God-given value from conception until natural death; and that marriage, as taught in Scripture, is a covenantal union between one man and one woman.
We further believe that believers’ baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances established by the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church, and that every local church should be led and governed according to biblical principles.
