我们的信仰
1.圣经:
我们相信全部新旧约圣经是神的启示,將他救赎人类的计划完全启示出來。圣经在启示上是完整的,在內容上是完全的,在史实与教导上是无误的。圣经是基督徒信仰及生活的最高权威及教导。
2. 三位一体的真神:
我们相信神是独一的真神。他启示自己为圣父,圣子,圣灵,三位一体的神。他们同时并存、相互内住。“他们”同质,同等,同荣,但在创造,护理及救赎的工作上,他们担当了不同却和谐的职事。
3. 圣父:
我们相信圣父是全圣,全智,全能,全爱的独一的真神,是创造天地万物的主。他爱世人,为我们预备了丰盛的救恩。
4. 圣子:
我们相信圣子耶稣基督是完全神也是完全的人,为圣灵感孕童贞女马利亚所生。他担当我们的罪, 死于十字架上﹐流血為人赎罪。神使他死后三天复活﹐升天﹐在神的右边为圣徒祷告。他将会照著他的应许再临。
5. 圣灵:
我们相信圣灵保惠师, 是叫人活的灵。他的工作是引导我们明白真理和启示罪人, 叫世人为罪为义为审判自己责备自己,感动罪人认罪悔改,使罪人重生。 圣灵居住在信徒心中,作他们随时的帮助,使他们有能力过圣洁的生活与事奉神、服务人。
6. 人与神的救赎:
我们相信人是神照自己的形像造的。因为世人违背神的诫命而墮落成为罪人﹐都需要神白白的救恩(罗马书5:12-21) 。我们相信悔改的罪人唯仰赖神的恩典得以重生﹐并以信耶稣基督得以称义。我们相信义人身体复活得永生﹐不义的人复活受永刑。
7. 教会:
我们相信基督是教会的元首,教会是他的身体。普世教会是一体的﹐由圣灵所重生的人组成﹐并在敬拜﹐交通﹐教导及事奉上彼此搭配﹐互相建立,并遵行主的大使命,广传福音,直到地极。
8. 施洗 :
我们相信施洗是神圣的仪式, 是对信仰的宣告, 是对罪行悔改的见证, 并在众人面前宣告, 将生命归于主, 信靠主, 相信主是他个人的救主及生命的主。
9. 婚姻:
我们相信, 神对婚姻的旨意是一男一女, 一夫一妻, 一生一世。 二人结而成一, 互相协助。
10. 信徒的日常生活:
我们相信神呼召基督徒过一种荣神益人﹐有新生命的生活。基督徒在世上应远离恶事,努力行善,关照他人, 分享神的話。在物质、恩赐及时间上作神忠心的管家,在灵命上追求滿有基督长成的身量。我们相信神是慈爱的, 我们因信称义, 并非靠行为。信心若沒有行为就是死的 (雅2:17) , 靠行为而沒有信是得不到永生。 我們的信会彰显在行为上, 使神得荣耀。
Our Beliefs
1. The Holy Scriptures
We believe that the entire canon of the Old and New Testaments constitutes the divinely inspired revelation of God, through which He has fully disclosed His redemptive plan for humankind. The Scriptures are complete in their revelation, perfect in content, and infallible in matters of history and doctrine. The Bible stands as the supreme authority and standard for the faith and practice of all Christians.
2. The One True Triune God
We believe that there is but one true and living God, who has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a Triune Godhead. These three Persons exist simultaneously and dwell mutually within one another. They are identical in essence, equal in power and glory, yet undertake distinct and harmonious offices in the works of creation, providence, and redemption.
3. God the Father
We believe that God the Father is the one true God who is holy, omniscient, omnipotent, and infinitely loving. He is the Creator and Sovereign Lord of all things visible and invisible. He loves the world and has graciously provided abundant salvation for humankind.
4. God the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both truly divine and truly human. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He bore our sins, was crucified, and shed His blood as an atonement for humanity’s transgressions. God raised Him bodily from the dead on the third day. He ascended into heaven and now intercedes for the saints at the right hand of God the Father. He will return in glory as He has promised.
5. God the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, is the Spirit who gives life. His ministry is to guide believers into all truth, convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to move sinners toward confession and repentance, leading to regeneration. The Holy Spirit indwells all believers, serving as their constant Helper, empowering them to lead lives of holiness, to serve God faithfully, and to minister to others.
6. Humanity and God’s Redemption
We believe that humanity was created in the image of God. Because all have transgressed God’s commandments, humanity has fallen into sin and thus stands in need of God’s unmerited salvation (Romans 5:12-21). We believe that only through genuine repentance and reliance upon God’s grace can sinners experience spiritual rebirth, and that justification is granted solely through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the righteous unto eternal life, and of the unrighteous unto eternal judgment.
7. The Church
We believe that Christ is the Head of the Church, and that the Church is His body. The universal Church is one body, composed of those who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, who join together in worship, fellowship, teaching, and service, building up one another in faith and diligently fulfilling the Great Commission to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
8. Baptism
We believe that baptism is a sacred ordinance, instituted by God as a public declaration of faith, a testimony of repentance from sin, and a public commitment to dedicate one’s life to the Lord, to trust in Him, and to acknowledge Him as personal Savior and Sovereign Lord.
9. Marriage
We believe that God has ordained marriage as the union of one man and one woman, in a monogamous and lifelong covenant. The two become one flesh, mutually assisting and supporting one another in life and faith.
10. The Daily Life of Believers
We believe that God calls Christians to live lives that glorify Him and bring blessing to others, marked by the newness of life in Christ. Believers are to abstain from evil, pursue righteousness, care for others, and faithfully share the Word of God. They are to be diligent stewards of their material resources, spiritual gifts, and time, striving toward spiritual maturity and conformity to the fullness of Christ. We affirm that God is loving, and that salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works. Faith without works is dead (James 2:17); works without genuine faith cannot secure eternal life. True faith is manifested in righteous deeds, which bring glory to God.
