- 圣经: 我们相信圣经是神的话。 是人被圣灵感动所写, 且是神有关他自己向人类的启示。圣经有66卷书, 其内容全然无误。 它对人类信仰和行为具有权威和充足的引导。
- 神: 我们相信 只有一位永活的真神。 他是宇宙的创造者, 救赎者, 保守者和治理者。 他在永恒中以三个位格存在。 这三个位格是父, 子,圣灵。 这三个位格拥有同等的权能和荣耀。
- 耶稣基督: 我们相信耶稣基督是上帝永恒的儿子, 且是所有被救赎者的救主。他由圣灵感孕, 为童贞女马利亚所生。因着他自己的顺服而完全了神的律法; 借着他在十字架上代替性的受死, 他使人得以从罪中被救赎出来。他死后复活, 升天, 现在坐在上帝的右边为一切信徒代求。
- 圣灵: 我们相信圣灵是神。 他使人能够明白真理, 并且高举基督。 他让人为罪, 为义, 为审判自己责备自己。 他呼召人到救主面前, 使人重生。 他培育基督徒品格, 安慰信徒, 赐人属灵恩赐使人通过他的教会服事神。
- 救恩: 我们相信救赎是神的恩典, 因着信靠基督而来。 基督用自己的血为信徒获得永远的救赎。 除了对于基督的个人信心外, 再无别的救赎。 那些因着基督为神接纳, 借着圣灵成圣的人, 绝不会从恩典的地位坠落, 而会恒忍到底。
- 教会: 我们相信主耶稣基督的新约教会乃是受洗之信徒的地方性的聚集, 借着信仰之约和福音的团契而连接。教会是基督的身体, 包括所有世代,不同语言不同民族中被救赎的人。
- 礼仪: 我们相信洗礼和主餐乃是主耶稣设立的唯一的两种礼仪,其目的是要透过象征性的表示, 提醒信徒由主耶稣基督所成就的救恩。
- 将来的事: 我们相信末了基督会在荣耀和权能中再来,到时候所有被救赎和未被救赎者都要复活并受审判。被救赎者将进入永远的荣耀, 而未被救赎者将被定罪, 接受永远的惩罚。
Our Beliefs
“What we hold to be true”
Bible: We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God. It was written by individuals inspired by God and is God's revelation of Himself to humankind. It consists of 66 books, and it is without error in its content. It is man's authoritative and sufficient guide in all matters of faith and practice.
God: We believe that there is one living and true God. He is the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. He exists in three Persons eternally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
each of whom is equal in power and glory.
Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, and He is the Savior and the Lord of all who are saved. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. He was raised from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now sitting at the right hand of God interceding for all believers.
Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is divine. He enables men to understand truth, and he exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to the Savior, and effects regeneration. He cultivates Christian character, comforts believers, and bestows the spiritual gifts by which they serve God through His church.
Salvation: We believe that salvation is by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believers. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end.
Church: We believe that a New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel. The Church is the Body of Christ which includes the redeemed of all the ages from every tongue and people and nation.
Ordinances: We believe that Baptism and The Lord’s Supper are the only two ordinances established by the Lord Jesus Christ. The purpose is to remind believers, through the symbolic expressions, about the salvation accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Future Things: We believe that Christ will return at the end in glory and power, and there will be resurrection and judgment for both the redeemed and the unredeemed. The redeemed will enter eternal glory and the unredeemed will be condemned to eternal punishment.
