Our Doctrine
1 / The Holy Scriptures 聖經
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal-literal- grammatical-historical meaning. (See 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21)
我們相信舊約和新約聖經全是由神親口啟示的話。聖經是無誤的、無缺失的和由神的呼吸出來的, 因此是信仰和生命的最終權威。新舊約聖經六十六部書是神向人完整而神聖的啟示。應根據經文正常的字面-語法-歷史意義來解釋。(參見提後 3:16, 17; 彼後 1:20, 21)
2 / The Godhead 神
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10, 26)
我們相信一個三位一體的神, 永恆地存在於三個位格-聖父, 聖子和聖靈, 各永恆共存、本是同一位、權柄和榮耀均等, 並且有同樣屬性和完美 (申 6:4; 太 28:19; 林後 13:14; 約 14:10, 26)
3 / The Person and the Work of Jesus Christ 耶穌基督的個人和工作
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, having the dual characteristics of God and man. Incarnated unto the world, He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He bore the sins of the world, and was crucified on the cross as the sin offering for the world, that all who believe in Him shall be saved, and through the blood He shed shall be deemed righteous. He arose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven and became the intercessor for the believers. He shall come again to judge the world. His Kingdom shall have no end. (John 1:1,2,14; Philippians 2:5-8; Luke 1:33)
我們相信耶穌基督是神永恆的兒子, 具有神和人的雙重特徵。化成肉身到世界, 他是由聖母瑪利亞受聖靈孕育而生的。他背負著世人的罪孽, 被釘在十字架上作為贖罪祭獻給世人, 凡信他的人都得救, 因他所流出的寶血必被稱為義 ; 第三天, 他從死中復活, 升天並成為信徒的中保。他將再次回來審判世界。他的王國將沒有盡頭。(約 1:1, 214; 腓 2:5-8; 路1:33)
4 / The Person and the Work of the Holy Spirit 聖靈的位份和工作
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Triune God-Head and that He baptizes all believers into the body of Christ at the moment of salvation. We believe the Holy Spirit permanently indwells all believers and that He is sovereign in the giving of spiritual gifts. These are the gifts of edification, which are for the building up of the body of Christ. We do not follow the practices of the Charismatics. Also some gifts were for the founding of the church and are no longer required. (I Corinthians 12:13; John 14:16,17; I Corinthians 12:11; Hebrews 2:3,4; Ephesians 4:11; 2:20)
我們相信聖靈是三一真神中的第三位, 祂在浸禮救贖的時刻, 把所有信徒帶進基督的身體。我們相信聖靈永遠內住在所有信徒裡, 祂是賜屬靈恩賜的君主。這些是教化的恩賜, 是為了建立基督的身體。我們不遵循靈恩派的做法。也有些恩賜是為了教會創立時期的並已不再需要的。(林前 12:13; 約 14:16,17; 林前12:11; 來2:3, 4; 弗4:11;2:20)
5 / Sin 罪
We believe man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. The consequence is that all mankind is born sinful and their souls are destined for conscious eternal torment in the Lake of Fire. (Genesis 1:26, 27; Romans 5:12; Revelation 20:10) We believe sin to be anything contrary to the scripture and character of God.
我們相信人類是由神的形象和模樣創造出來的, 但因亞當的犯罪人類跌倒, 繼承了一種罪惡的本性, 並與神疏遠了; 而且個人完全墮落了, 完全無法挽救他失落光景、。結果是所有人類生來就有罪, 他們的靈魂註定要在火之湖中有意識的地永受折磨。(創1:26, 27; 羅 5:12; 啟 20:10) 我們相信罪是任何違背神的旨意和位格的東西。
6 / Salvation 救贖
We believe Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's salvation, and that on the cross Christ took on Himself the sins of all mankind and died in our place. We also believe eternal salvation is the free gift of God, apart from works, and is possessed by all who have by faith received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. We further believe that salvation once possessed can never be lost or forfeited. (Acts 4:12; I John 2:2; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 1:12; John 10:27-29; I Peter 1:3-5)
我們相信耶穌基督是神對人類的救贖的唯一途徑, 而在十字架上, 基督自己負上了全人類的罪並替代我們受了死。我們也相信永恆的救贖是神白白賜, 不是工作換得的, 是由信主耶穌基督為他們個人救主的人所擁有的。我們進一步相信, 一經擁有救贖就永遠不會丟失或喪失。(徒4:12; 約壹 2:2; 彼壹 2:24; 弗 2:8, 9; 約1:12; 約 10:27-29; 彼壹 1:3-5)
7 / Doctrine of the Church 本教會的教義
We believe only those people possessing salvation are Christians, and that each Christian is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. As God brings Christians together in any given area they must unite and form a local church. We believe a local church is to be organized under the leadership of spiritually qualified men. The church is organized for evangelism and edification and provides a base of operation for each believer to grow and become equipped so that he can maintain a balanced life and minister to all people.
We believe baptism and the Lord's Supper are Christ's only ordinances to the church and that believers are to be obedient in regard to both. We believe baptism is a step of obedience whereby the believer is immersed in water to illustrate his death, burial, and resurrection with Christ and his desire to walk in newness of life. We believe the Lord's Supper is a provision of bread and cup, used to represent the body and blood of Christ, and that it is a commemoration of the Lord's death until He comes. (Ephesians 4:11-13; Hebrews 10:24,25; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-5; Acts 8:36-37; I Corinthians 11:23-26)
我們相信只有那些擁有救贖的人才是基督徒, 每個基督徒都是耶穌基督教會的一員。神將基督徒聚集在任何特定的地區, 他們必須團結起來, 組成一個地方教會。我們相信一個地方教會的組織要由屬靈上合資格的信徒領導團來領導。教會是為佈道和教化而組織的, 為每個信徒的成長和裝備提供了一個事工基地, 使他能夠維持平衡的生活和侍奉所有人。
我們相信浸禮和聖餐是基督對教會的僅有的規條, 信徒們要信守這兩樣。我們相信守浸禮是順服的一步, 信徒沉浸在水中, 以說明他的死亡、埋葬、與基督一同復活, 以及他在新生命中行走的渴望。我們相信聖餐是提供麵包和杯子, 用來代表基督的身體和血, 這是紀念主的死亡, 直到他來。(弗 4:11-13; 來 10:24,25; 太 28:19;羅 6:3-5; 徒8:36-37; 林前11:23-26)
8 / Doctrine of Future Things 未來事物學説
We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the bodily resurrection of the redeemed to be with God eternally, and the bodily resurrection of the unredeemed to judgment and eternal punishment.
我們相信主耶穌基督的個人和可見的回歸, 以及被救贖的肉體復活, 永遠與神同在, 和不被救贖的肉體復活, 受審判和永恆的懲罰。
