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,是神完备的启示,絕無錯誤,是不可替代的惟一准则,是信仰與生活的最高權威。
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,除祂以外,再无别神。祂是自有永有,無始無終。这一个至高神有三个独立而合为一的位格,同等、同尊、同荣,同受敬拜。是共同创造宇宙天地万物、成全救赎大功的万有之源。
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,由聖靈感孕,從童貞女馬利亞而生,道成肉身,毫无瑕疵罪惡,却甘愿亲身担当世人的罪,被釘死於十字架,三日後帶榮耀的身體復活。
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,当人向耶稣基督真心认罪悔改,基督的宝血即洗净人的罪,使其得着赦罪的平安,并领受所赐的圣灵。圣灵进入并内驻于信徒心中,这是我们等候完全得赎的印记,是得天上产业的凭据,也是在今生得胜生活的能力之源。
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,使得人类在罪的辖制之下,与神隔绝,落在神的震怒审判之下,若非神子的舍命救赎,就必将进入永远的灭亡。
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,目的是为拯救罪人,这全然出于神的圣爱、怜悯和恩典。除祂以外,别无拯救。我们靠神的应许,藉着神所赐的信心,站在恩典中,可永蒙保守,信耶稣基督的人就有永生,永不灭亡。
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,为着敬拜独一的至高神,并非属地属物质的地点、建筑、人为的组织、财政等。教会是基督的身体,基督是教会的元首。教会是神国度在现时代荣耀的彰显,是神的圣灵运行和丰沛恩典赐下的所在。是预备中之圣洁的童贞女,等候基督将来迎娶的新妇。教会是神在地上工作的见证以及神旨意表达的出口,是照神旨意建造与世界迥别之圣灵的殿。教会在地上基本工作就是谨守遵行主的最大的诫命,尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力爱神并在基督里彼此切实相爱;再就是执行主的大使命,本着圣经,靠着圣灵,广传福音,领人归主,教导圣徒明白并活出主道,等候主的再来。
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,审判活人死人,神的国从天降临,直到永远。
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.
