中文翻译 (via ChatGPT 3.5):
神:我们相信只有一位真正、永活、至高无上的、圣洁的、永恒存在的神。祂以三个位格同等存在——父、子、圣灵——每个位格都是独立的且具有独特的功能,但都具有相同的本质、性质、完美和属性。祂是一位神,但三位一体。我们相信神用祂的话语创造了宇宙和所有生物,并按照祂的形象和样式创造了人类。我们相信神是宇宙的主宰,掌管和引导着宇宙和人类历史进入永恒的预旨。我们相信神的属性包括爱、公义、圣洁、永恒、信实、无所不在、无所不知、无所不能。
耶稣基督:我们相信耶稣基督是神,是圣子,我们的主耶稣基督,祂是圣父的独生子。为了完成圣父的救赎工作,祂道成肉身,由圣灵感孕,由童贞女所生,过着无罪的生活,降临在地上。祂是完全的神,也是完全的人。在地上祂传讲福音,行了许多神迹,医治疾病,驱赶邪灵,并使死人复活。祂在本丢彼拉多手下被钉十字架,为我们受难,在十字架上流血作为代赎,被埋葬,降入阴间;第三天,祂身体复活,升到父的右边,并将以荣耀和权能亲自再临,审判活人和死人(约翰福音1:1-3,14;马太福音1:18-25;腓立比书2:5-9;歌罗西书1:15;哥林多前书15:1-8;使徒行传1:11)。
圣灵:我们相信圣灵是神,是完美的位格,与父、子基督同等同存,祂是神的灵,基督的灵,真理的灵和圣洁的灵。祂是罪的主要使罪者,是重生和成圣的主要代理人。圣灵内住在每一个信徒中,赋予信徒过敬虔生活的能力;引导他们明白并进入真理,顺服基督,结出丰盛的生命果实;祂按照自己的旨意赐予每个信徒恩赐,赋予信徒力量,引导信徒传扬福音,见证福音是神的大能,伴随着神迹和奇事(约翰福音14:16-19;16:7-15;使徒行传1:8;哥林多前书6:19-20;罗马书8:9,11;提多书3:5;马可福音16:20)。
人类:我们相信起初神按照自己的形象创造了人类。人类起初被造是有能力为神的荣耀而活(创世记1:27,31)。
罪:我们相信亚当,第一人,由于不顺从而犯罪。这一行为导致了全人类的堕落,因此所有人都犯了罪,失去了为神的荣耀而活的能力。人类的堕落使所有人都遭受了身体和灵魂的死亡,直到通过神的恩典得到宽恕和拯救(创世记3:1-24;罗马书3:10-23;5:12-21;6:23)。
救恩:我们相信失丧和罪人的救恩是神恩典的免费礼物,与人的行为无关,仅基于基督的代赎和赎罪之死,通过圣灵的重生工作实现,并仅通过对耶稣基督在十字架上完成的工作和祂的人信心接受(以弗所书2:8-9)。
教会:我们相信基督是教会的头,教会是基督的身体和神的家。它由得救、受洗和重生的信徒组成,他们在主日定期聚集进行敬拜、团契和事工(马太福音16:18;哥林多前书12:12-14;希伯来书10:25)。我们承认每一个地方教会都是一个圣洁的、普世的、使徒性的教会的一部分,继承了神的大诫命和大使命。为了忠于圣经,每一个地方教会都继承并坚持一个圣洁的、普世的、使徒性的教会的教义和传统,宣讲真理,执行圣礼——洗礼和圣餐,执行教会的纪律。我们相信教会中的弟兄姐妹是支持教会在基督的爱中成长的纽带。每个人都有从神那里得到的恩赐,忠诚地服事我们的主,传扬福音,见证基督和祂的救恩。
家庭:除了这些重要的信仰外,我还相信神赋予了父母和家庭在主的训诲和教导中养育儿女的责任(以弗所书6:4;箴言22:6)。
圣经:我相信整本圣经,旧约和新约的66卷书,都是神所默示的。通过所有先知和使徒的话语,神所默示的话语在原始手稿中是无误的。通过神的保守,神的话语得以保存并成为圣经正典,它是唯一无误的、至高无上的、具有权威性和最高标准的信仰、实践和事奉的准则。圣经不允许以任何方式和方法被更改、增加或删除。圣经引导人们理解并进入神的救赎,同时也是为了教导、责备、纠正和在义中训练,使我们得益处(提摩太后书3:16-17;彼得后书1:20-21)。
末世论:我相信圣经中的末世预言,并且我相信我们生活在末世时代。我相信基督第二次降临时,那些在基督里死了的人将首先复活,与那些还活着并存留到主降临的人一同在空中与主相遇,并获得荣耀的身体。然后基督将与那些得胜者在地上统治一千年。千年之后,撒旦将被完全打败,扔进硫磺火湖。最后,基督将在白色大宝座上审判所有国家、所有民族和所有人,所有死者都将复活在白色大宝座前受审。如果有人名字没有写在生命册上,他(她)将被判入地狱的刑罚,永远与神隔绝。那些名字写在生命册上的人将进入新耶路撒冷,神自己将永远与他们同在。
大使命-福音传播:我相信每个基督徒都有责任和特权宣扬耶稣基督的好消息,并努力使人在耶稣基督里成为成长的门徒(马太福音28:18-20;使徒行传1:8)。
GOD: We believe that there is only one true, living sovereign, holy, and eternally existent God. He exists in three co-equal persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each being a distinct person and with a distinct function, but all of one essence and all possessing the same nature, perfection, and attributes. He is only one God, but Trinity. We believe God created universe and all the creatures out of nothing but from His words, and created human being in His image and likeness. We believe God is the sovereign of cosmos, all the creatures and the history of human being, He control and guide universe and human being history into eternal Providence. We believe the attributes of God are love, justice, holy, eternal, faithful, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.
JESUS CHRIST: We believe that Jesus Christ is God, the Holy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, He is only son of the Holy Father. For fulfilling the work of redemption of the Holy Father, He was incarnated, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, descended on the earth. He is perfect God, and perfect man. On the earth He preached Gospel, performed many miracles, healed the sicknesses, casted out the evil spirits, and raised the dead. He was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He was suffered, shed His blood on the cross as a vicarious substitute, was buried, He descended into hell; the third day, He bodily resurrected, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return literally, visibly, and personally in glory and power to judge the dead and the alive (John 1:1-3,14; Matthew 1:18-25; Philippians 2:5-9; Colossians 1:15; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:11.)
HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit is God with perfect person, co-equal and co-existent with the Father, the Son-Christ, He is the Spirit of God, Christ, the truth and Holyness of the Spirit. He is the chief convictor of sin, the chief agent of regeneration and sanctification. The Holy Spirit indwells every believer and empowers every believer to live a godly life; to understand and go into the truth, obey Christ, to live abundant fruit of life; He gives gifts to each believer as he determines, empower the believers, guides believers to preach gospel, witnesses gospel is the power of God with signs and miracles. (John 14:16-19; 16:7-15; Acts1:8, 1Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 8:9,11; Titus 3:5, Mark16:20).
MANKIND: We believe that in the beginning God created mankind in His image. Mankind was originally created with the ability to live perfectly for God’s glory (Genesis 1:27, 31).
SIN: We believe that Adam, the first man, sinned by disobedience. This act resulted in the fall of all mankind; therefore, all people have sinned and lost their ability to live for the glory of God. Mankind’s fall has incurred both physical and spiritual death on all until there is forgiveness and salvation by the grace of God. (Genesis 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-23; 5:12-21; 6:23).
SALVATION: We believe the salvation of lost and sinful mankind is a free gift of God’s grace apart from human works, based solely upon Christ’s vicarious and atoning death, effected by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and received only through faith in the person and finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9)。
THE CHURCH: We believe that Christ is the head of the church, the church is the body of Christ and the family of God. It is made up of saved, baptized and regenerated believers who regularly join together on the Lord’s Day for worship, fellowship and ministry (Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Hebrews 10:25). We acknowledge every local church is a part of one holy catholic and apostolic church which heritages the Great Commandment and the Great Commission from God. In order to be loyal to Bible, every local church heritages and insists the doctrines and heritages out of one holy catholic and apostolic church, declares the truth, carries out the holy rituals-baptism and holy communion, executes the church’s discipline. We believe brothers and sisters in church are supporting ligament which grow up in love of Christ who is the head. Everyone with gifts given from God commits, obeys loyally to serve our Lord, to preach gospel, to witness Christ and His salvation.
THE HOME: In addition to these important beliefs, I also believe that God has given the parents and the home the responsibility to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4; Proverbs 22:6).
THE SCRIPTURES: I believe that the entire Bible, all 66 books of the combined Old and New Testaments are written by God-breathed. The Word of God through all prophets and apostles, verbally inspired by God are inerrant in the original writings. Through the providence of God, the Word of God has been protected and preserved to become holy canon which is the only infallible and sovereign authoritative and supreme rule and standard of faith, practice and service. The Scripture is not allowed to be changed or to be added or deleted in any way and method. The Scripture is to guide people to understand and go into the redemption of God, and is also for teaching rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, for the benefits of which God give it to us. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
ESCHATOLOGY: I believe prophecy about eschatology in Bible, and I believe we live in eschatological age. I believe on Christ second coming, the dead in Christ will rise first and they with those who are still alive and are left will be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and will get a gloried bodies too. Then Christ with those who overcome will reign for a thousand years on the earth. After the thousand years, Satan will be defeated at all, thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. At the end, Christ will seat on a great white throne to judge all the countries, all the nations and all the people, all the dead will rise to be judged in front of the great white throne. If anyone’s name is not found written in the book of life, he(she) will be condemned into the punishment of hell and be separated out of God forever. Those whose names are written in the book of life will go into new Jerusalem, and God himself will be with them forever.
THE GREAT COMMISSION-EVANGELISM: I believe that it is the responsibility and privilege of every Christian to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to seek to make growing disciples in Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8).
