我的信仰宣言
01. 只有一位神,他无限完美;从亘古到永远,以三种位格存在: 父、子和圣灵。
02. 耶酥基督是完全的神,也是完全的人。他由圣灵感孕,由童女玛利亚所生。他在十 字架上为我们死,以他的义代替我们的不义,满足神对不义的公义审判,所有相 信他的人被他所流的宝血遮盖称义。照着经上所说,他从死里复活升天。现在他 在至高神的右边,作我们的大祭司。他还要再来,建立公义和和平的国度。
03. 圣灵是神的一个位格,被差派居住于信徒心中,引导、教化和坚固信徒,为罪,为 义和为审判。
04. 旧、新约圣经,起初真确无误,是神完成了的默示, 是为了救赎人。圣经是出于神 的和唯一的基督徒信仰和行动的典章。
05. 人,起初被造时,有神的形象,因为悖逆而堕落,导致身体和灵性的死亡降临。所 有人都生来就有罪性,与神的圣洁生活隔绝,只有通过主耶酥基督的救赎之工才 能得救。不悔改不相信者最终会在永刑中,而信徒会有永远的喜乐和福祉。
06. 救恩只能来自耶酥基督。认罪悔改并相信他的人们经由圣灵与他联合,因而得重生, 被赦免,成圣并被接纳为神的儿女,享有永远的生命。
07. 神的旨意是在基督的联合里,每个信徒应完全成圣因而与罪和世界隔绝,并完全属 于神,得到过圣洁生活和委身与神,有效地事奉完成基督的大使命。 要完成基督给我们的大使命,要通过被圣灵充满;圣灵充满是一个在信徒的生活中 独特的和反复渐进的过程。
08. 主耶酥基督的救赎工作提供了医治人的必死身体的措施:按照经上的教导为病患者 祷告和实施涂油礼也是今世教会的特权。
09. 普世教会,以基督为首,由所有相信主耶酥基督的信徒组成,是用他的宝血赎回, 由圣灵重生, 由基督差派在全地万民万邦中作见证,传讲福音。 本地教会, 普世教会的具体可见的表征,是本地区一些信徒组成的联合体。 他们 一起来敬拜神,遵行浸礼,守主的晚餐,祷告代祷,学习领悟神的话语,互相 交流沟通,以言以行在当地或去远方来见证主救恩的大好消息。本地教会与相 似意念的教会建立关系来强化责任,相互鼓励和传道。
10. 不论是否被称义,将来都会有肉体的复活。 称义的, 复活得生命;不义的复活 受审判。
11. 主耶酥基督的再来日益临近,并且是跟每个人相关,是可见的。诚如信徒带着 祝福的盼望:这个生命攸关的真理是促使信徒过圣洁生活, 委身与神,有效地 事奉,来完成基督的大使命的原动力。
The Statement of Faith
01. There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
02. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.
03. The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.
04. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.
05. Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God, fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.
06. Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.
07. It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ\'s commission. This is accomplished through being filled with the Holy Spirit which is both a distinct event and progressive experience in the life of the believer.
08. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age.
09. The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations. The local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to worship God, to observe the ordinances of baptism and the Lord\'s Supper, to pray, to be edified through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters into relationships with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement and mission.
10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.
11. The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible. As the believer\'s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ\'s commission.
