Our Statement of Faith
English
We believe in one God, who is the Creator of man and all things, absolutely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is both true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified for our iniquities, was buried, on the third day arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven. He is now our High Priest and Advocate at the right hand of God. He is the head of the church. He will come back again to marry His bride (Church) and install His kingdom.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is equal in substance and glory with God the Father and the Son. That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict man, regenerate sinners, indwell, guide and empower believers for godly living and service, and build the body of Christ according to God’s will.
We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man, the authority for Christian faith and life, and the guidance of church life, serving and worship.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and can obtain salvation and spiritual life only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Those who thus receive Jesus Christ by faith have their sins forgiven, are born of the Holy Spirit, become children of God, and are made a new creation in Christ.
We clearly understand that Jesus is above all and within all. Church does not have boundary of race, nationality, location and language. Every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.
中文 (Chinese)
我们相信独一的真神,他是人类和万物的创造者,完美无瑕,永恒存在于圣父、圣子、圣灵三位一体之中。
我们相信耶稣基督是真神也是真人,由圣灵感孕,为童贞女马利亚所生。他为我们的罪被钉死在十字架上,被埋葬,第三天身体复活,升入天堂。他现在是我们在上帝右边的至高祭司和中保。他是教会的元首。他将再次回来迎娶他的新娘(教会),并建立他的国度。
我们相信圣灵与圣父、圣子在本质和荣耀上是同等的。圣灵的事工是荣耀主耶稣基督,并在现今时代使人知罪,使信主的罪人重生,内住、引导并赋予信徒能力,使其过敬虔的生活和服事,并按照上帝的旨意建立基督的身体。
我们相信圣经,包括旧约和新约,是上帝所默示的无误话语,是上帝旨意完全的启示,是人类得救的指南,是基督徒信仰和生活的最终权威,也是教会生活、服事和敬拜的指导。
我们相信人是按照上帝的形象被造的,但却堕落犯罪,因此失丧,只有通过圣灵的重生才能获得救恩和属灵的生命。
我们相信救恩是唯独靠恩典,通过对耶稣基督所流宝血的信心。凡这样凭信心接受耶稣基督的人,他们的罪得赦免,由圣灵重生,成为上帝的儿女,并在基督里成为新造的人。
我们清楚地知道,耶稣超越一切并内在于一切。教会没有种族、国籍、地域和语言的界限。每个地方教会都有权在基督之下决定和管理自己的事务。
