信仰告白 (Rev. of October 28, 2013)

 

  1. 我們相信聖經是神所默示的(提後 3:16), 原本絕無錯誤, 為信徒信仰與行為的準則。

 

  1. 我們相信聖父, 聖子, 聖靈三位一體之神(太 28:19;可 12:29)。 祂是獨一的真神。 祂是創造宇宙萬物的主(創 1;徒 17:24)。

 

  1. 我們相信耶穌基督, 神的獨生愛子,我們的主(約 3:16), 由童女馬利亞藉聖靈感動而生(太 1:18- 25), 道成肉身, 住在我們中間(約 1:11,14)。 為擔當我們的罪, 捨身流血釘死在十字架上, 埋葬後第三天從死裡復活(太 27,28;林前 15:3-8), 升天(徒 1:9), 現在坐在神寶座的右邊, 為眾信徒祈禱(可 16:19;來 1:3)。 祂必再來, 審判活人和死人(太 25:31-46; 啟 20:11-15)。

 

  1. 我們相信聖靈保惠師住在信徒心中, 光照, 感動、幫助, 安慰人。 聖靈引領罪人悔改, 並使信徒成聖(約壹 4:13; 加 5:22-24; 弗 4:30)。

 

  1. 我們相信神按祂自己的形象及樣式造人。 因始祖犯罪墮落,死就臨到世人。 人無法靠行為稱義(羅 3:20), 人必須悔改相信並接受耶穌基督, 始能得救(徒 4:8-12,2:38,4:12; 羅 10:9; 加 3:24)。我們得救是本乎恩, 也藉著信(弗 2:8-9)。我們的救恩包括了在末日時身體的復活(腓 3:20)。

 

  1. 我們相信教會是基督的身體(弗 1:23), 是永生神的家(提前 3:15)。耶穌 基督是教會的頭(弗

5:23), 信徒在基督裡成為一個身體, 互相聯絡成為肢體(羅 12:5;弗 4:11-16)。

 

  1. 我們相信我們有福的盼望是耶穌基督的再來; 那時, 我們要得著復活的身體, 並要永遠與主同在

(多 2:13;帖前 4:17)。

 

STATEMENT OF FAITH (Rev. of October 28, 2013)

 

  1. We believe that the Bible is given by inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16). The original Bible Scripture is inerrant and serves as the principles of a Christian’s faith and

 

  1. We believe in the triune God who is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:29). He is the one and only God. He is the Creator and the Lord of the universe (Genesis 1; Acts 17:24).

 

  1. We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son, our Lord (John 3:16). Conceived by the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18-25). The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us (John 1:11, 14). Jesus was crucified on the cross for the redemption of our sins, He was buried and on the third day He was resurrected (Matthew 27, 28; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8). He ascended to Heaven (Acts 1:9). He is now sitting at the right hand of God, praying for all believers (Mark 16:19; Hebrews 1:3). He will return to judge the living and the dead (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:11-15).

 

  1. We believe that the Holy Spirit abides with believers. The Holy Spirit inspires, intervenes, counsels, and comforts. The Holy Spirit leads sinners to repentance and believers to holiness (1 John 4:13; Galatians 5:22-24; Ephesians 4:30).

 

  1. We believe that God created mankind in His image and in His likeness. Sin entered the world through one man, and death came to all because all sinned. We cannot be justified by works (Romans 3:20). In order to be saved, we must repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord (Acts 4:8-12, 2:38, 4:12; Romans 10:9; Galatians 3:24). We are saved by grace through faith, (Ephesians 2:8-9). Our salvation includes the resurrection of our bodies in the end times (Philippians 3:20).

 

  1. We believe that the Church is the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:23) and the house of the eternal God (1 Timothy 3:15). Christ is the Head of the Church (Ephesians 5:23). In Christ, Christians form one body, and each member belongs to all the others (Romans 12:5; Ephesians 4:11-16).

 

  1. Our blessed hope is the return of Jesus Christ at which time we receive our resurrected bodies and will forever be with the Lord (Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:17).
