信仰宣告
Faith Declaration
- 我们相信圣经是圣灵全面的且逐字逐句的默示。它是神的话,无谬无误的,且有绝对的权威。
- 我们相信只有一个真神上帝,以无限地、有位格地、完全地的,和永远地以圣父、圣子、圣灵三位一体存在。每一位格在神的本质及属性上完全相同,是同质、同荣、同尊、同权。
- 我们相信耶稣基督是由圣灵感孕,从童贞女马里亚所生。祂是完全的神,也是完全的人,神人二性在一个位格之内。
- 我们相信耶稣基督为担当世人的罪被钉在十字架上,受死,第三天从死里复活,然后升天,坐在天父的右边,作为我们的大祭司,每天为我们祈求。
- 我们相信且盼望耶稣基督的第二次到来;祂的再来,分为两个阶段,包括教会的被提和祂荣耀的降临。第一阶段的亲临是为了教会的被提 (在天空与主相遇) ,可能发生在千禧年以前、而且是大灾难前的任何时候。第二阶段的亲临是在地上建立可见的公义王国。
- 我们相信圣灵是完全的神。人的悔改、重生和信徒的成圣、持守都是圣灵的工作。
- 我们相信宇宙万物都是上帝直接地从无到有的创造。我们相信所有的生物,连人在内,都是借着上帝直接的作为在六天中创造,正如创世记所载。一天是指24小时。我们相信上帝在创造后继续保守和照管他所造的万有。我们反对 “自然主义”、 “神导进化论” 和 “自然神论”。
- 我们相信人最初被造是无罪的,是按上帝的形像造的,但因着他的天性和自由意志,落入罪的网罗,全人类成为罪人。人唯独借着圣灵的工作进入耶稣基督的救恩,才能恢复神与人之间的和好关系--成为上帝的儿女。
- 我们相信救恩临到全人类是因着恩典,唯独借着人相信耶稣基督在挽回祭上的代赎,加给一切相信的人。人的任何善功都无助于得救;基督徒的好行为,是他信心的表现和结果。
- 我们相信 “称义” 是上帝的作为,祂宣告:凡相信耶稣基督的人被称为义;这义是基督的义归给凡相信的罪人。
- 我们相信 “一次得救,永远得救” ,因为主爱我们爱到底,救我们救到底。
- 我们相信 “成圣” 是借着圣灵的工作和神话语的大能,信徒分别为圣,归自己给神,然后活出荣耀上帝的生活见证来。
- 我们相信照《圣经》所记载,有实际的天堂和地狱。信耶稣的人将上天堂,不信耶稣的人将被丢在阴间,这是第一次的死;未得救的死人末后将复活,按其所形的在白色大宝座前受审,然后被丢在硫磺火湖里,承受永火的刑罚,这是第二次的死。
- 我们相信撒但是一位堕落的受造者,牠反对凡是神圣的,牠注定要被扔在烧着硫磺的火湖里,受永永远远的刑罚。
- 我们相信我们是天国的子民,因此我们传扬福音不涉及地上的政治及其活动。
- We believe that the Bible is fully and verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the Word of God, inerrant and infallible, and holds absolute authority.
- We believe there is only one true God, who exists infinitely, personally, perfectly, and eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully God, sharing the same essence, glory, honor, and power.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He is fully God and fully man, with both divine and human natures united in one Person.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was crucified for the sins of the world, died, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for us daily as our great High Priest.
- We believe and look forward to the second coming of Jesus Christ, which will take place in two stages: the rapture of the Church and His glorious return. The first stage, His coming for the rapture of the Church (meeting the Lord in the air), may occur at any time before the Tribulation and before the Millennium. The second stage will be His visible return to the earth to establish a righteous kingdom.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God. Repentance, regeneration, sanctification, and perseverance of believers are all the work of the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that the universe and all creation were brought into being directly by God out of nothing. We believe that all living beings, including humanity, were directly created by God in six literal 24-hour days, as recorded in the Book of Genesis. We believe that God continues to sustain and care for His creation. We reject naturalism, theistic evolution, and deism.
- We believe that man was originally created sinless, in the image of God, but through his nature and free will, fell into sin, and thus all humanity became sinners. Only through the work of the Holy Spirit and the salvation found in Jesus Christ can mankind be reconciled to God and become children of God.
- We believe that salvation comes to all mankind by grace alone, through faith alone in the atoning work of Jesus Christ. No human work contributes to salvation; rather, good works are the result and evidence of genuine faith.
- We believe that justification is the act of God, who declares all who believe in Jesus Christ to be righteous. This righteousness is the imputed righteousness of Christ to believing sinners.
- We believe that “once saved, always saved,” for the Lord loves us to the end and will save us to the uttermost.
- We believe that sanctification is the work of the Holy Spirit and the power of God’s Word, setting believers apart to God, so that they may live a life that glorifies Him.
- We believe that, according to the Scriptures, heaven and hell are real places. Those who believe in Jesus will enter heaven, while those who do not believe will be cast into Hades, which is the first death. The unsaved dead will be resurrected to be judged at the Great White Throne and will be cast into the lake of fire burning with sulfur, suffering eternal punishment, which is the second death.
- We believe that Satan is a fallen created being, who opposes all that is holy and is destined to be cast into the lake of fire burning with sulfur, to be tormented forever and ever.
- We believe that we are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven; therefore, we preach the gospel without involving ourselves in the politics or affairs of this world.
