信仰宣言 Statement of Faith

  1. 聖經
    我們相信全本新舊約聖經,都是神所默示,是完整無缺,是信徒信仰和生活的最高權威及標準。

  2. 我們相信神是自有永有的神,祂是創造、救贖、維持和掌管宇宙萬物的主宰。祂是聖父、聖子、聖靈三位一體的獨一真神。
  3. 聖父
    我們相信全能的父,創造天地萬物的主,是信徒的天父,以祂的恩典來統管萬有和人類的歷史。
  4. 耶穌基督
    我們相信耶穌基督具有真實的神人二性,與聖父、聖靈同等、同質、同存。道成肉身,由聖靈感孕,藉童女馬利亞而生。甘願死在十字架上,為世人流血贖罪。死後三日復活,然後升天,將來必會再來。祂是神人之間唯一的中保。
  5. 聖靈
    我們相信聖靈是信徒的保惠師。叫人知罪、悔改與重生。引導聖徒明白真理、成聖及安慰信徒。

  6. 我們相信人是照神的形像被造。因自甘犯罪而墮落,與神隔離,將罪帶入世界,完全的沉淪,無法自救。人只有藉神在基督裡的恩典,才可以與神相和,並完成神在他身上的計劃。
  7. 救恩
    我們相信救恩是神的恩典,因耶穌基督的代贖,及聖靈的感動,讓人可以因信基督而稱義。救恩過程包括:重生、稱義成聖和得榮耀。神所揀選的,祂必保守到底。
  8. 末後的事
    我們相信耶穌基督必會再來,建立永恆的國度。義和不義的都要復活受審:義人復活進入永福,惡人復活進入永刑。
  9. 教會
    我們相信教會是由信徒組成,是神從世界呼召出來,分別為聖歸屬基督。信徒彼此藉真道及聖靈所給的恩賜,互相建立,互相服侍。教會的功能是:崇拜、門訓、團契、事奉及差傳。教會的目的:是完成基督的大使命。
  10. 婚姻
    本會謹遵照所屬美南浸信會之 “信仰宣言” 中對家庭婚姻的聲明:
    “婚姻,是神所設立,所以聖經對婚姻的定義,就是我們信奉和持守的最高標準,遠超於任何其他的標準”。
  11. 禮儀
    我們相信這是神吩咐教會要遵守的兩個儀式:
    1. 浸禮是信徒順服基督的表現,象徵與基督同死,同埋葬,同復活。
    2. 主餐
      主餐的餅和杯,是象徵基督的身體和血。信徒紀念基督的死,直等到祂來。

  1. Bible
    We believe the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God, and therefore is complete and perfect. It is the supreme authority and the standard of Christian faith and living.
  2. God
    We believe God is eternally existing, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver and Ruler of the universe. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the One and only One true God.
  3. God the Father
    We believe the almighty Father, the creator of heaven and earth, is the heavenly Father of all believers. He reigns over the universe and human history according to His grace.
  4. Jesus Christ
    We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is the same nature, essence, and being as God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the word become flesh. Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. By His obedience He died on the cross and shed His blood for the redemption of men from sin, resurrected on the third day, physically ascended into heaven, and will return. He is the only Mediator between God and man.
  5. Holy Spirit
    We believe the Holy Spirit is the Comforter of believers, convicts men of their sins, and affects repentance and regeneration. He enables the saints to understand the truth, sanctifies and comforts them.
  6. Man
    We believe man was created in the image of God. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. In so doing, man alienated himself from God and was thus condemned and incapable of saving himself. Only the grace of God in Christ can bring man into holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God.
  7. Salvation
    We believe salvation is the grace of God. By the atonement of Jesus Christ and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, man can be justified through faith in Christ. The process of salvation includes: regeneration, justification, sanctification and glorification. God will preserve whom He has chosen to the end.
  8. Last Things
    We believe that Jesus Christ will return to establish the eternal kingdom. All people, righteous and unrighteous, will be resurrected and judged. The righteous will dwell in eternal blessing, and the unrighteous will be consigned to eternal punishment.
  9. Church
    We believe the church is a congregation of believers, whom God called out from the world to be sanctified to belong to Christ. Believers edify and serve one another through the truth and gifts from the Holy Spirit. The functions of the church are worship, discipleship, fellowship, ministry and evangelism. The objective of the church is to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission.
  10. Marriage
    This church adheres to the doctrinal statements on Marriage and Family by our denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, as stated in the most recent version of the Baptist Faith and Message that marriage is to be defined biblically and theologically in God’s own terms rather than man-made terms; and further that this church intentionally adheres to the highest standards for marriage, namely biblical standards, and that other legal definitions and court actions are secondary to biblical mandate.
  11. Ordinances
    We believe there are two ordinances God instructs the church to observe:
    1. Baptism
      It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior by immersion in water.
    2. Lord’s Supper
      The bread and the cup of the Lord’s Supper symbolize Christ’s body and blood. Believers commemorate Christ’s death until He returns
