基督教福音派信仰的特征 四个特征 全国福音派联盟National Association of Evangelicals(NAE)提出福音派的四个基本特征: 1. 转化：相信生命需要藉着重生的经历和一生跟从耶稣的过程而更新改变。 Conversionism: the belief that lives need to be transformed through a “born-again” experience and a life long process of following Jesus 2. 行动：在宣教和社会变革的努力中传扬和见证福音。 Activism: the expression and demonstration of the gospel in missionary and social reform efforts 3. 圣经：尊崇和顺服圣经为最高权威。 Biblicism: a high regard for and obedience to the Bible as the ultimate authority 4. 基督（十字架）：强调耶稣基督在十字架上的牺牲是人类的唯一救赎之道。 Crucicentrism: a stress on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross as making possible the redemption of humanity 事实上，许多福音派教会很少用“福音派”这个词汇来描述自己，而只是简单专注在三一真神，圣经，信心，耶稣，救恩，传福音和门徒培训这些核心信仰上。 四个鉴定标准 全国福音派联盟和 LifeWay Research 发展了以下四个标准来鉴定是否是福音派信仰。只有完全同意以下四个标准才算为福音派基督信仰: •圣经是我相信的最高权威。The Bible is the highest authority for what I believe. •我需要亲自帮助非基督徒相信耶稣基督为他们的救主。It is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior. •耶稣基督在十字架上的死是除去我们罪罚的唯一牺牲。Jesus Christ’s death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin. •只有那些相信耶稣基督是他们唯一救主的人才能接受神白白所赐的永生救恩。Only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation. 信仰声明 全国福音派联盟提出的福音派信仰声明Statement of Faith 我们相信圣经是神所默示，唯一无误的，神权能的话语。We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. 我们相信独一真神，自有永有，圣父，圣子，圣灵，三位一体。We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 我们相信我们的主耶稣基督的神性，相信他为童女所生，相信他无罪的一生，相信他的神迹，相信他通过流出宝血的替代和救赎的死亡，相信他的身体复活，相信他复活后升天到天父的右手边，相信他将以权能和荣耀的再来。We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. 我们相信失丧的罪人绝对必须得救和靠圣灵的重生。We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. 我们相信居住在基督徒心中的圣灵的工作才能使基督徒活出敬虔的生活。We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 我们相信一切得救的和失丧的人都将复活，得救的复活得生，失丧的复活受罚入地狱。We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. 我们相信基督徒在我们的主耶稣基督里属灵的合一。We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. 简单定义 基督教福音派的简单定义（来自Donald P Hustad） 1．福音派以圣经为无上的权威，而不是遵守教派的传统或宗教组织的规定。 2．福音派相信因信称义的真理，不是藉着圣礼仪式而称义。 3．福音派强调个人得救，以及得救后的敬虔生活（属灵经历）。从这点来看，福音派的基督徒可称为现代的虔信派（清教徒puritan）。 4．福音派的信徒藉着传福音的机会领人信主。 5．福音派偏爱不拘于传统﹑自由的崇拜仪式。
