信仰宣言 Statement of Faith
1 我們相信永有的獨一真神,祂是宇宙萬物的創造者,三位一體:聖父、聖子、聖靈。
2 我們相信聖經是聖靈默示歷代不同作者記錄而成,只要聖經被正確解釋,都於教導有益。聖經是我們一切信仰和行為準則的最高權威;我們也信靠遵行。理性釋經在教會環境是必要的。
3 我們相信人是神按著自己的形象造的,因此在神面前有與其他受做物不同的尊貴價值和品格。但自從人墮落,罪就讓我們在神的震怒和咒詛之下,讓我們與神的生命隔絕。
4耶穌是完全的神,也是完全的人,是神與人之間唯一的中保。藉著祂為著人的罪捨身十架和身體的復活成就救恩,使人罪得赦免,並在神面前因信稱義。
5 聖靈的工作乃是使人重生得救並長進成熟。聖靈運行在教會中,賜教會力量使其在真理、智慧、信心、聖潔、愛心、事工、能力中不斷更新。聖靈也裝備所有信徒,賜屬靈恩賜,榮耀主名。
6 我們相信只聖而公之教會,這教會乃是基督的身體,是普世性由所有信徒組成。教會的使命乃是傳揚主名,宣揚真理和神恩典的福音,使萬民做主的門徒。
7地方教會的信徒旨在同心敬拜、領受主道、受洗歸主、同領主餐、共同服事。基督徒藉著關顧弱勢人群,過簡樸的生活,彼此相愛,追求公平、公義、和平以及照料神所創造的萬物來彰顯神榮耀的品格。
8 耶穌基督升天歸父,有一日祂也必要親自再來,顯現在可見的榮耀中。在那末後的日子,他要使死人復活、帶來拯救並施行最後的審判。
1 We believe in the eternal God, Creator and Lord of heaven and earth who, in the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
2 The Holy Bible is composed by human authors inspired by God’s Spirit that it is found to be beneficial to Christian if it is rightly interpreted. It is wholly true and trustworthy in all that it affirms and we are bound to believe and obey. Rational reading of the Bible is essential in the ecumenical context.
3 All human beings are created in God’s image that we are unique and prestigious in the view of God. Human sin and guilt since the fall have rendered us subject to God’s wrath and condemnation and have resulted in our alienation from God’s life.
4 Jesus alone is truly God and truly human, the only mediator between God and humanity. Salvation from the guilt, penalty and all other consequences of sin has been achieved solely through the death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ that each sinner is justified before God by divine grace appropriated by faith alone.
5 The work of the Holy Spirit is necessary for the individual’s new birth and growth to maturity. The Holy Spirit empowers and indwells the church, enabling its constant renewal in truth, wisdom, faith, holiness, love, ministry and power. The Holy Spirit equips all believers with gifts for ministry and these are to be used to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
6 We believe in the holy universal and apostolic church, which is the Body of Christ, and to which all true believers belong. Church is called to make Christ known; to proclaim God’s truth and the gospel of God’s grace; to make disciples among all nations.
7 Local congregation is called to worship God, to preach God’s word, to baptise, to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, and to serve God in the world. Christians are called to exhibit God’s character through compassionate care for the needy, creative and sacrificial living, the community of love, the quest for righteousness, justice and peace, and the care of God’s creation.
8 As the Lord Jesus ascended to his Father, so he will return personally, visibly and in glory. He will raise the dead and bring salvation and judgement to final completion.
