信仰宣言 - Statement of Faith

1. 敬奉獨一真神，無限至善 (申32: 4；太 5: 48；賽 44: 6, 45:5-6)，永存三位一體：聖 父、聖子、聖靈 (太28:19)。

2. 相信耶穌基督既為真神亦為完全人 (腓 2:6-11；來2:14-18；西2:9)，為聖靈感孕，藉童貞女馬利亞而生 (太 1:18)，捨身十架，為贖罪祭牲，義者代替不義，使信者藉寶血得生，稱義得救。衪又按聖經所記三日後復活 (徒 13:39；林前15:3-5)，今尊為吾等大祭司，榮坐上帝右邊 (來 4:14-15；9:24-28)，不日再來建立公義和平國度 (太 25:31- 34；徒1:11)。

3. 聖靈乃受遣神聖者，內住信徒心中 (約 14:16-17)，引領及教導信徒，賜予能力，使世 人為罪為義為審判自責 (約 16:7-11)。

4. 新舊約聖經乃神所默示，其原稿絕無錯誤，乃神啟示聖旨使人得救，為基督信仰與生活唯一法典和權威 (提後 3:16-17；彼後 1:20-21)。

5. 神按己形像樣式造人 (創 1:27)，後世人勃逆，墮落，咎取身體靈魂死亡。後代人類生具罪性，遠離生命之主，惟賴主耶穌基督代贖鴻恩，信者蒙恩得救 (羅8:8；約壹2:2) 永享恩福，頑梗不信者被罰永受苦 (太 25: 41-46；帖後 1:7-10)。

6. 唯獨耶穌基督成就普世救恩，祂是世人唯一拯救。悔改相信者自聖靈重生，被稱義成聖，蒙受永生救恩，貴為上帝兒女 (多 3:5-7；徒 2:38；約1:12；林前6:11)。

7. 信徒當在主耶穌基督內成聖歸主，此乃神旨 (帖前 5:23)。信徒生命需離罪與世人不同 ，全然奉獻歸主，分別為聖。後必活出聖潔生命，得力事奉，實踐大使命 (徒 1: 8)。

8. 耶穌基督成就救恩，包括使人肉身得蒙醫治。當照聖經教訓為病人抹油禱告，此乃教會於今所當享特權 (太 8:16-17；雅 5:13-16)。

9. 耶穌基督是教會的元首。普世教會乃由世上所有信靠耶穌基督，蒙寶血赦罪得贖，藉靈重生，受基督差遣往普天下去向萬國萬民，傳主福音，為基督作見證 (弗 1:22-23； 3 : 6-12) 的信眾組成。地方教會乃普世教會的可見形體。它由地方信眾組成，聚集互為肢體，旨在同心敬拜禱告真神，領受真道聖言，彼此相交，廣傳福音，奉行聖禮：向信者施洗，並同領聖餐 。各主內地方教會乃需互相支持，鼓勵，同心實踐教會使命 (來 10:25; 徒2:41-47)。

10. 將來死人必身體復活。義者復活得生 (林前 15: 20-23)，不信者復活受審 (帖後 1:7- 10)。

11. 主耶穌基督必隨時復臨 (帖前 4:13-17；徒 1:7-10；林前 1:7)。此乃聖徒活潑盼望， 激勵生活分別為聖，事奉熱切忠誠，完成主託付大使命 (多 2:11-14)。

Christian & Missionary Alliance Statement of Faith

1. There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

2. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace.

3. The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement.

4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.

5. Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God, fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.

6. Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.

7. It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ’s commission. This is accomplished through being filled with the Holy Spirit which is both a distinct event and progressive experience in the life of the believer.

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scripture are privileges for the Church in this present age.

9. The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations. The Local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to worship God, to observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, to pray, to be edified through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters into relationship with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement and mission.

10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgement.

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible. As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ’s commission.
