我們所相信的基本教義
我們所相信的基本教義 - 我們的信仰What We Believe
我們相信聖經是神透過超自然方法所默示並保存的話語。神的這種言辭的啟示是絕對真實沒有錯誤的,所以是每一個時代的人信仰和生活的神聖權威和標準。聖經也使我有得救的智慧。(提摩太後書3:15,16; 彼得前書1:23,25; 彼得後書1:20,21; 羅馬書16:25,26; 詩篇119:89,140; 詩篇12:6)
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal, plenary inspiration, so that it is divinely authoritative standard for all human conduct in every age. The Holy Scriptures are able to make us wise unto salvation. (II Timothy 3:15-16; I Peter 1:23, 25; II Peter 1:20-21; Romans 16:25-26; Psalm 119:89, 140; Psalm 12:6)
我們相信神永遠以三位格存在─聖父、聖子、聖靈─是三而一的真神。(羅馬書1:20; 約翰福音1:1; 10:30; 哥林多前書8:6; 哥林後後書3:17; 使徒行傳5:3,4; 約翰壹書5:7)
We believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-and that these three are one God. (Romans 1:20; John 1:1; 10:30; I Corinthians 8:6; II Corinthians 3:17; Acts 5:3, 4; I John 5:7)
我們相信人是由神所創造,因此人內心深處需要認識神並來敬拜事奉祂。(創世記1:1,27; 詩篇150:6; 馬太福音22:37,38; 申命記6:5)
We believe that the universe was created by God. We believe that human being was created by God and has an innate need to know, worship and serve Him. (Genesis 1:1, 27; Psalm 150:6; Matthew 22:37-38; Deuteronomy 6:5)
我們相信耶穌基督按肉身說是神也是人,祂是由聖 靈感孕童女瑪利亞所生,在世上過一聖潔無罪的生活。祂教訓眾人,也行許多神蹟奇事。祂為我們罪被釘死在十字?#91;上,第三天復活,升天。祂將真實的、 親身的、可見的第二次降臨世界審判萬民並在地上建立祂的榮耀的國度。(約翰福音1:1,14; 哥林多後書5:19; 馬太福音1:20-23; 希伯來書4:14,15; 使徒行傳2:22-24; 哥林多前書15:3,4; 啟示錄20:1-15)
We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, that He was born of a virgin and that he lived a sinless life, in which He taught and wrought many miracles, the He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later He ascended to heaven, and from whence He is coming again bodily, personally, and visibly to judge this earth and set up His glorious kingdom. (John 1:1, 14; II Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:20-23; Hebrews 4:14, 15; Acts 2:22-24; I Corinthians 15:3, 4; Revelation 20:1-15)
我們相信耶穌基督藉著祂的死救贖我們脫離罪及神的審判。因此每個信徒靠神的恩典得蒙拯救,並且單單藉著主的寶血得以被稱為義。(羅馬書5:1, 8-10; 以弗所書1:7)
We believe that Jesus Christ, by His death, made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the judgment of God. As a result, every believer is saved by faith alone and justified on the simple and single ground of the shed blood of Jesus. (Romans 5:1, 8-10; Ephesians 1:7)
我們相信這樣的救恩包括罪得赦免、聖靈的賜與和永生的盼望,完全是神的恩典,不是靠人力或善行所能獲得的。(以弗所書2:8,9; 約翰福音6:63; 7:37-39; 加拉太91;3:11)
We believe that such salvation with its forgiveness of sins, its impartation of the Holy Spirit and its hope of eternal life, is entirely apart from good works or human efforts, but is of the pure grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 6:63; 7:37-39; Galatians 3:11)
我相信聖靈是三一真神的第三位。祂是神的靈,也是耶穌基督的靈。聖靈主要的工作是彰顯耶穌基督。也是藉著聖靈的工作,使人認識耶穌基督而致得救,有新造永遠的生命,認罪悔改並在日常生活中獲得平安喜樂與引導。(約翰福音15:26; 16:7-15; 哥林多後書3:17; 彼得前書1:2,11)
We believe that he Holy Spirit is the third person in the Godhead. He is the spirit of God and also the spirit of Christ. The primary work of the Holy Spirit is to manifest Jesus Christ. It is also by the work of the Holy that human beings are brought to the saving knowledge of Christ, the new and eternal life, conviction of sin, and peace, comfort and guidance in daily living. (John 15:26, 16:7-15; II Corinthians 3:17; I Peter 1:2, 11)
我們相信耶穌是教會的頭,教會是祂的身體,由在聖靈裡得救、重生的人所組成。因此信徒是同一身體上的肢體。教會基本的功能是敬拜真神,傳揚福音,教導訓練門徒,團契相交。 (以弗所書1:22,23; 4:11-16; 哥林多前書12:12,13,18,27)
We believe that Christ is the head of the church and the church is His body, constituted by those save and born again through the Holy Spirit. Thus the believers are members of the same body. The primary functions of the church are to worship God, proclaim the gospel, teach and train believers to be disciples, and have fellowship together. (Ephesians 1:22, 23; 4:11-16; I Corinthians 12:12, 13, 18, 27)
