Our Beliefs 我們的信仰
1. The Authority of the Bible: We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, without error in the original manuscripts. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the divine, final authority for all matters of Christian faith and life. (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Revelation 22:18-19)
1. 聖經的權威: 我們相信聖經,包括舊約和新約,是神所默示的話語,原始手稿無誤。聖經完整地啟示了神的救贖旨意,且是基督徒信仰和生活的神聖最高權威。(馬太福音 5:18;提摩太後書 3:16-17;彼得後書 1:19-21;啟示錄 22:18-19)
2. The Triunity of God: We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who is infinitely perfect and eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is fully God—equal in honor, glory, and power—and worthy of the same worship. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 8:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
2. 三位一體的神: 我們相信獨一真神,祂是萬物的創造主,無限完美並永恆存在於三個位格中:聖父、聖子和聖靈。三位一體中的每個位格在本質上均完全為神,在尊榮、榮耀和權柄上相等,並且當受同樣的敬拜。(申命記 6:4;馬太福音 28:19;哥林多前書 8:4;哥林多後書 13:14)
3. The Person and Work of Jesus Christ: We believe in Jesus Christ, both true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a perfect life, died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and rose bodily from the dead. He ascended to heaven and now, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, serves as our High Priest and Advocate. (Isaiah 53:5-6; John 1:1-2; Philippians 2:6-7; Hebrews 4:15)
3. 耶穌基督的位格和工作: 我們相信耶穌基督是真神也是真人,由聖靈感孕,童貞女馬利亞所生。祂在世過著完全無罪的生活,在十字架上捨身流血,成為我們的贖罪祭,並從死裡復活。祂升天,如今坐在至高者的右邊,擔任我們的大祭司和中保。(以賽亞書 53:5-6;約翰福音 1:1-2;腓立比書 2:6-7;希伯來書 4:15)
4. The Ministry of the Holy Spirit: We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates those who believe, and dwells within every believer. He guides, instructs, and empowers them for godly living and faithful service. (John 3:3-8; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; Ephesians 1:14)
4. 聖靈的事工: 我們相信聖靈來是為了榮耀主耶穌基督。祂使世人知罪,使信徒重生,並住在每一位信徒心中。祂引導、教導並賦予信徒能力敬虔度日和忠心服事。(約翰福音 3:3-8;使徒行傳 1:8;哥林多前書 12:4-6;以弗所書 1:14)
5. The Creation and Fall of Man: We believe that all human beings are created in the image of God but have fallen into sin and are in need of salvation. People enter the world spiritually separated from God, unable through their own efforts to restore this relationship or earn divine acceptance. (Genesis 3:1-24; Isaiah 59:2; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-3)
5. 人的受造與墮落: 我們相信所有人類都是按神的形象被造的,但因犯罪而墮落,需要救贖。人因罪與神隔絕,無法靠自己的努力與神恢復關係或贏得神的接納。(創世記 3:1-24;以賽亞書 59:2;羅馬書 3:23;以弗所書 2:1-3)
6. The Way of Salvation: We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace alone. The shed blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the sole basis for our justification and salvation. All who receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and become children of God. (John 1:12; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5)
6. 救恩之路: 我們相信救恩是神白白的恩典。耶穌基督的流血與復活是我們得稱為義和蒙救贖的唯一根據。凡憑信接受耶穌基督的人,皆由聖靈重生,成為神的兒女。(約翰福音 1:12;哥林多後書 5:17;以弗所書 2:8-9;提多書 3:5)
7. The Nature and Organization of the Church: We believe that the church is the Body of Christ, with Christ as its head. The church is manifested in local congregations of born-again believers who are called together by God’s grace, united by His love, and organized under the teaching of Scripture. These local churches exist for worship, fellowship, and the evangelization of those who have not yet received salvation. (Matthew 28:19-20; John 1:12-13; Ephesians 2:19-21, 4:11-12)
7. 教會的本質與組織: 我們相信教會是基督的身體,以基督為元首。教會在各地由重生,蒙神恩召,因祂的愛聯合的信徒,依據聖經的教導組成。地方教會存在是為了敬拜、團契以及向未得救的人傳福音。(馬太福音 28:19-20;約翰福音 1:12-13;以弗所書 2:19-21,4:11-12)
8. The Second Coming of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ will return to establish His eternal kingdom. At His coming, all people will be resurrected and judged — believers will receive eternal life, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God. (Matthew 24:30-42; Acts 1:11; 1 Corinthians 15:35-58; Revelation 20:11-15)
8. 基督的再來: 我們相信耶穌基督將再來,建立祂的永恆國度。屆時,所有人都將復活並受審判—信徒將承受永生,而拒絕祂的人將面臨與神永遠分離。(馬太福音 24:30-42;使徒行傳 1:11;哥林多前書 15:35-58;啟示錄 20:11-15)
