蒙福教會信仰告白

05/07/2019

  1. 聖經:我們相信聖經,是神所默示的,因此無謬無誤,是神的旨意和對人類救贖的完整啟示,也是基督徒信仰和生活的最高權威。
  2. 神:我們相信獨一永活的真神,是萬物的創造者、護理者、救贖者、和審判者。他無限完美,並在永恆中以三個位格存在:聖父、聖子、聖靈。三個位格在神性上為一,擁有同等的權柄和榮耀。
  3. 基督:我們相信耶穌基督,為完全神亦為完全人,由聖靈感孕童女馬利亞所生,照聖經所說在十字架上為我們的罪被釘死。他的身體從死裡復活、升天,在至高者的右邊作我們的大祭司、中保、和君王。
  4. 聖靈:我們相信聖靈的工作是榮耀和見證主耶穌基督。使人重生、認罪悔改;並內住,引導信徒進入一切的真理;使信徒得到能力和恩賜,來服事教會和過敬虔的生活。
  5. 人:我們相信人是照 神的形像造成的,在亞當裡墮落成為罪人,成為罪的奴役,且有死亡的審判。除非神主動的施恩,人完全沒有能力從死亡的審判中解救自己。
  6. 救贖:我們相信耶穌基督在十字架上的救贖是信徒得救和稱義的唯一根基。我們相信人的得救,完全基於神的恩典,不在乎人的功德善行。惟有經由聖靈的重生,才能有得救的信心,並悔改信靠耶穌基督得以稱義,與神和好,最終成聖在神的榮耀中。
  7. 教會:我們相信聖而公之教會,由所有真信徒組成,互相聯合成為基督的身體,以基督為元首。教會承受的使命是傳揚福音到地極,並在基督的愛裡通過彼此相交而互相建立,用福音的大能來更新個人的生命、社會、和文化,擴展神的國度。
  8. 再來:我們相信耶穌基督必在榮耀中帶著復活的身體再來,審判活人死人,並將萬物全然更新。不信者必受審判,並受永遠的懲罰,信徒復活得永生,在新天新地中與主同在,得享永遠的祝福和喜樂,進入神永遠的榮耀。

Statement of the Faith

  1. The Bible: We believe the Scriptures to be the inspired Word of God; thus infallible, inerrant, and the complete revelation of His will for the Salvation of man, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
  2. God: We believe in the one living and true God, Creator, Sustainer, Savior and Judge of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and that these three are one and the same in substance, equal in power and glory.
  3. Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is wholly God and wholly man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where He now is our High Priest, Advocate and King, at the right hand of the Majesty on High.
  4. Holy Spirit: We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify and witness to the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men of sin, regenerate the sinner, and indwell, instruct, guide the believer into all the truth, and empower godly living and gifted service.
  5. Man: We believe that all men were created in the image of God but fell into sin through Adam and all sinners are slaves of sin with the judgment of death. They are totally unable to save themselves from the judgment of death, except by the grace of God.
  6. Salvation: We believe that the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the only ground for justification, and salvation is by God alone based on His grace by His sovereignty, not on any individual human merit.  And only through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit can sinners have saving faith, repent from sin, and believe in Christ, and thus be justified in the righteousness of Christ, reconciled to God, and sanctified into God’s glory.
  7. Church: We believe that the true holy catholic church is composed of all true believers, who are united together in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head, whose purpose is to proclaim the entrusted Gospel to the end of the earth, build one another up as believers through fellowship in the love of Christ, and who expand the Kingdom of God through the transformation power of the Gospel in individual’s, lives, culture and society.
  8. Second Advent: We believe in the bodily, glorious return of Christ in the flesh to judge the living and the dead and to make all things new.  The unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment and believer in the bodily resurrection of the dead to everlasting blessedness and joy to be with the Lord in the new heavens and new earth into eternity for the glory of God.
