信仰宣言  Faith Declaration

 

  1. 唯独圣经,神之圣言

(提后 3:16–17; 林前 2:13)

我们相信圣经是神默示的言语。圣经是恒古不变,不可争论的真理,是我们的信心和品格的最终,唯一的权柄和标准。

(2Timothy 3:16-17, 1Corinthians 2:13)

We believe the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct.

 

  1. 独一上帝、三一真神

(太 28:19; 林后 13:14)

我们相信一位永恒的上帝。祂是独一的上帝,有三个不同的位格 – 圣父,圣子和圣灵。他们虽属於不同位格,却是不可分开的。

(Matthew 28:19,2Corinthians 13:14)

We believe in the Eternal God who has revealed Himself as One God existing in Three Persons, Father Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible.

 

  1. 神造世人、犯罪失荣

(创 1:26–27; 3:1–24; 罗 3:23; 5:12)

我们相信人是照着神的形象而造。可是因为人的不顺服,罪进入了世界。这个过犯使人类都亏缺了神的荣耀。

(Genesis 1:26-27, 3:1-24, Romans 3:23, 5:12)

We believe man was created in God’s image but through his disobedience, sin entered the world. This transgression causes all men to be fallen short of the glory of God. 

 

  1. 救主耶稣、道成肉身

(太1:22-23; 路1:26–35; 1:14–18; 赛7:14; 9:6)

我们相信神透过耶稣启示祂自己。耶稣是通过圣灵而孕,由童女玛丽亚而生,是全人类的救主。祂是完全的人,也是完全的神。

(Matthew 1:22-23, Luke 1:26-35; John 1:14-18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6)

We believe in revelation of God Himself through Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully Man.

 

  1. 钉死复活、基督救赎

(林前 15:1–4; 罗 4:25)

我们相信耶稣虽没有犯罪,但是却为我们的罪而死,第三天复活,救赎人类脱离死亡,得着救赎。

(1Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25)

We believe Lord Jesus was without sin, yet He died for our sins, resurrected on the third day, made possible the redemption of all men from sin.

  1. 十架救恩、因信称义

(罗 5:11; 弗 2:8–9; 来 9:12; 22)

我们得救是本乎恩,也因着信,通过悔改和我们的信心 – 相信神在骷髅地所成就的完全的十字架工作,使我们的罪得赎。

(Romans 5:11, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 9:12; 22)

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work at the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins. 

  1. 复活升天、主必重临

(约14:2–3; 帖前4:13–18)

我们相信耶稣已经升天被高举,同时相信耶稣的再来 – 将来会亲自来到地上,迎娶祂的教会。

(John 14:2-3, 1Thessalonians 4:13-18)

We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation, and personal, literal and bodily coming again the second time for His Church.

8.圣灵充满、圣洁分别

(林后 6:14; 7:1; 弗 5:18)

我们相信圣灵充满的生命。我们不属这世界。我们存着敬畏的心,洁净自己,迈向圣洁,活出真正基督徒的信心。

(2Corinthians 6:14; 7:1, Ephesians 5:18)

We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as expressing the true Christian faith.

9. 神迹奇事、医治释放

(徒 4:30; 罗 8:11; 林前12:9; 雅 5:14)

我们相信神超自然的医治,或像初期教会所经历的超自然,属天的医治。

(Acts 4:30, Romans 8:11, 1Corinthians 12:9, James 5:14)

We believe in the healing of the body by Divine power, or Divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church.

10.普世教会、一体归主

(太 16:18; 18:19–20; 徒 15:22)

我们相信一个普世教会,由真信徒组成。但是这个普世教会是由许多地方教会组成的。他们都是以耶稣基督为首,各自为政,拥有各自的侍奉和服事,将福音广传。

(Matthew 16:18; 18:19-20, Acts 15:22)

We believe that there is one true universal Church, made up of genuine believers, but this one universal Church is also composed of many local Churches in given localities. These Churches are under the sovereign Headship of the Lord Jesus Christ, exercising autonomous government under Him, administering all its local affairs and ministry, as well as the propagation of the Gospel.

11. 圣灵恩赐、各尽其职

(罗 12; 林前 12,14; 弗 4)

我们相信圣灵的恩赐和服侍,就像初期教会所彰显的。

(Romans 12, 1Corinthians 12 &14, Ephesians 4)
We believe in the operation of the Gifts and ministries of the Spirit as manifested in the Early Church.

12. 洗礼归主、信仰表白

(太 28:18–19)

 我们相信受洗归入耶稣,即是:浸入水里,奉父,子圣灵的名施洗。受洗是顺服耶稣命令的一种外在信心的表现。

(Matthew 28:18-19)

We believe in baptism by immersion in water in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is the outward sign of the inward faith in Jesus in obedience to His command. 

13.主设圣餐、感恩纪念

(林前 11:23–32)

我们相信主桌的设立,即称为圣餐或耶稣的晚餐,就是耶稣被卖的那一晚所指示我们的。

(1Corinthians 11:23-32)

We believe in the table of the Lord, namely, also known as the Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, was instituted by Jesus on the night He was betrayed for believers。
