我們的信仰 WHAT WE BELIEVE

上帝 GOD

我們相信只有一位活著的真神，一個由擁有完全的神格和完全的人性（聖父、聖子、聖靈）組成的合一團體。三者是平等存在，且具有各自的神聖位格，並於世界的創造、墮落與救贖過程中相輔相成。

We believe that there is one living and true God, an eternal community of divine persons (Father, Son, and Spirit), who are equal in divinity, operating in distinct and complementary ways throughout the history of creation, fall, and redemption.

以福音為中心的神學 GOSPEL-CENTERED THEOLOGY

我們相信上帝是救贖的起頭。祂拯救並確保我們的的救恩，我們得以回應，皆因是祂的恩典。天父差派祂的愛子來到世上，是基督確保我們得著從今到永遠的救贖。我們相信只有透過耶穌才能得著拯救，且是惟一能到天父面前的管道。我們的信仰核心與實踐，奠基於耶穌的出生、死亡、復活、升天與聖靈的到來。我們藉著祂、因著祂、並在祂裡面得以成為神的子民，得以蛻變，並有得著最終重建的盼望。（約十四6、徒四12、林前十五1-11、西三23、加一6-8、林前二1-2、提前二4-6、賽五十三2-12、彼後一3-9、可十45、羅五8、約三16-17、羅三23-25、林後五21、提前一15、彼前二24-25、彼前三18、路十九10）

We believe that God is the author of Salvation. He saves and secures us for salvation and we respond only because of and by his grace. God the Father sent the Son. Christ’s work secures our salvation both now and forever. We believe it is only through Jesus that we are saved and have access to the Father. It is Jesus’ life, His death, resurrection, ascension and sending of the Holy Spirit that are the center and fulfillment of our faith. It is through him, because of him and in him that we come to be God’s people, are transformed, and have hope for final restoration (John 14:6,Acts 4;12, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Colossians 3:23, Galatians 1:6-8, Corinthians 2:1-2, 1Tim 2:4-6, Isaiah 53:2-12, 2 Peter 1:3-9, Mark 10:45, Romans 5:8, John 3:16-17, Romans 3:23-25, 2Corinthians 5:21, 1Timothy 1:15, 1 Peter 2;24-25, 1 Peter 3:18, Luke 19:10)

聖靈 HOLY SPIRIT

我們相信聖靈至今仍在運行，且持續在世界各地眾基督信徒中，按著上帝的旨意建造祂的教會，使教會成熟和建立。我們相信屬靈的恩賜，並必需在福音事上看見聖屬靈恩賜的彰顯和宣揚。沒有任何特定的恩賜彰顯，才能證明我們是受洗歸入基督、或者說我們是被聖靈充滿。（林前十二-十四、約十四-十六、徒一8、羅十三、弗四）

We believe the Holy Spirit is alive and active in regeneration, empowerment and ongoing filling of the believer for the purposes of God in this world and the maturing and building up of the church. We believe all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still available today and necessary for the gospel to be displayed and declared to all people. There is not one particular gift that is required to give evidence of the baptism or filling of the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12-14, John 14-16, Acts 1:8, Romans 13, Ephesians 4)

聖經 SCRIPTURE

我們相信聖經是上帝的權威、和賦予生命的話語。我們確信舊約和新約聖經是神的默示、具有真實性和權威，是惟一書面記載的上帝的話語。我們確信聖經完全無誤，是使人實踐信仰萬無一失的準則。我們相信耶穌基督為人類成就救贖的工作，是聖經話語的中心。我們相信是聖靈的動工，讓我們的心思意念被照明，使我們從祂的話語中領受真理。（提後三16 - 17、彼後一 20 - 21、來四12、彼後三15 -17、太五 17 -19、詩十九7、帖前二13、路廿四44 - 45、約十34 -35、林後四2、提後四2 - 4、尼八1 - 9、拉七9 - 10、徒十七11）

We believe that Scripture is the authoritative and life giving word of God. We affirm the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety as the only written word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We believe the story of Scripture centers upon the redemption that is through Jesus Christ, and His work in humanity. We believe that it is the work of the Spirit to illuminate our minds and hearts to perceive truth in His word. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Peter 3:15-17, Matthew 5:17-19, Psalm 19:7, 1Thess 2:13, Luke 24:44-45, John 10:34-35, 2 Cor. 4:2, 2 Tim. 4:2-4, Nehemiah 8:1-9, Ezra 7:9-10, Acts 17:11)

教會 THE CHURCH

我們相信教會是由上帝所救贖的家庭組成，是從不同語言的各族、各民、各方相信耶穌是好消息的個體。我們相信當我們順服大使命，教會是上帝透過門徒訓練過程，成為推進祂的國度的渠道（提前三15、弗一22、弗三10、太十六18）

We believe the church is the redeemed family of God made up of individuals from every tribe, tongue, and race who have placed their faith in the Good News of Jesus Christ. We believe the church is God’s means for kingdom advancement through the process of disciple-making as we obey the Great Commission. (1 Timothy 3:15, Ephesians 1:22, Ephesians 3:10, Matthew 16:18）

將來的事 FUTURE THINGS

我們相信耶穌基督的再次來臨，到時候一切事物即將要更新。我們相信身體的復活，最後的審判，被救贖者永恆的喜樂，以及未被救贖者將永遠被定罪。

We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the renewal of all things. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal joy of the redeemed, and the eternal condemnation of unredeemed.

「已然、未然」神學 “ALREADY, BUT NOT YET” THEOLOGY

我們相信上帝的國度在耶穌第一次降臨時開始，並將在祂第二次來臨時完成。我們活在體驗耶穌統治的同時、繼續渴望祂在未實現應許的現實中，還能完全新天新地的實現。我們認同實現式的多種末世論的觀點，也允許教會大家庭持有這些觀點。

We believe the Kingdom of God was inaugurated in Jesus’ first coming and will be consummated in his second coming. We live in the in-between where we can experience the reign of Jesus while longing for its completion as we also experience the reality that things are not yet fully as they will be within the new heaven and new earth. We acknowledge the variety of views within inaugurated eschatology and allow for this variety within our family.
