安提阿基督教会基本信仰 Statement of Faith of the Antioch Church
一、 聖經
我們相信整本聖經(新舊約六十六卷)都是神所默示的,
1.      The Bible
We believe the Bible consists of the 66 books in the Old and New Testaments, inspired by God, a complete revelation of His Word, inerrant, infallible, irreplaceable, the only authentication of our belief and our living standard.
二、 三一真神
我們相信聖父、聖子、聖靈三而一,一而三。是一个独一的真神,
2.     Triune God
We believe the only One Triune God, the Creator of the universe, the source of all creatures who completes the plan of salvation/the grace of redemption, exists in three Persons: the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, eternally and equally with the same essence and same glory.  There is no other god but Him only.
三、神的儿子
我們相信耶穌基督是神的独生子,是世人及信徒的救主,
3.       The Son
We believe Jesus Christ is the Only Son of God, the Savior of all humankind and Christians, conceived by the Holy Spirit through a virgin, Mary, incarnated in flesh, yet lived a sinless life, willingly bore the sin of mankind and was crucified on the cross, resurrected on the third day with a glorious body.
四、圣灵
我們相信人悔改接受耶稣基督乃聖靈的奇妙工作,
4.       The Holy Spirit
We believe it is the work of the Holy Spirit to convict sinners to repent and to accept Jesus Christ as personal Savior.   Genuinely confession to Jesus lead to the cleansing their sins by the blood of Christ; their sins are forgiven with peace in their hearts and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  The receiving of the Holy Spirit is a proof of salvation and heavenly inheritance, who gives us strength to live a victorious life on earth.
五、罪人
我们相信人是神照着自己的形象样式造的,因始祖亚当犯罪,
5.       Sinners
We believe man is created in the image and likeness of God.  Due to the Fall of the first Man Adman, sin entered into all mankind to enslave and separate mankind from God’s presence.  All mankind will be judged by the wrath of God into eternal punishment and perish, unless to be redeemed by the salvation of Jesus, the Son of God.
六、救恩
我们相信耶稣基督降世为人,生活、传道、受死、埋葬与复活,
6.       Salvation
We believe Jesus Christ incarnated in flesh to save all mankind.   His living, teachings, crucifixion, burial and resurrection is meant to save sinners from sin all because of His Holy love, mercy and grace to mankind.  There is no other salvation except through Christ.  Through God’s promises, faith given from divine and stand on His grace, Jesus Christ will keep those who believe in Him with the assurance of salvation and will not perish.
七、教会
我们相信教会是神所拣选呼召重生的一群蒙恩子民的聚集,
7.      Church
We believe Church is a group of born again believers, chosen by God to be called as His people, gather together to worship the Only Supreme God.  Church is not a physical building, human organization or governing body.  Church is the Body of Christ with Jesus as the Head of the Body to reveal the glory of God’s kingdom through all generation, dwells by the work of the Holy Spirit and the abundance grace of God, is the Holy Virgin preparing to be the future Bride of Christ.  Church is also the testimony of God’s work on earth, preaching the Word of God to the world, built by the will of God and is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.  The ultimate purpose of the Church is to keep the greatest commandment: to love God with all our heart, our mind, our soul and our strength and to love each other as Christ loves us. Besides this, the Church shall keep the great commission, based on the teaching of the Bible and the strength of the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel to all nations, bring people to Christ, teach believers to know the Word of God, live according to the teaching and wait upon Christ’s return.
八、主的再来
我们相信照圣经所说,这地和其上的情欲都要过去,主必再来,
8.     The Second Coming of Christ Jesus
We believe the Bible says that everything in the world and its lust will become no more.  Christ will return to judge the living and the dead.  The Kingdom of God will descend from above and exists forever.
