東灣愛修基督教會

East Bay  Agape Christian Church

信仰宣言

  東灣愛修基督教會的信仰立場根據聖經及基要神學，並採納[使徒信經] (The Apostles’ Creed) 的宣言：我們相信聖經所述的[因信稱義]，我們也相信人人藉著耶穌基督皆為祭司。我們相信聖父、聖子、聖靈三位一體之真神，耶穌基督由聖靈感孕藉童貞女馬利亞所生，為世人被釘死在十字架上，復活升天，將來再臨審判活人、死人，信主者得永生，不信者必致滅亡。東灣愛修基督教會的最終目標是高舉基督，靠聖靈 大能實現耶穌基督的大使命，使萬民作主門徒。

Statement of Faith

    We believe the Bible in the original manuscripts to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative word of God. We believe that there is one Living and True God, eternally existent in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory. We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and in His future personal return in power and glory. We believe that through the personal acceptance of Jesus Christ by faith, a person becomes a Christian, and his relationship with God is restored. The acceptance of Christ assures us that:

• Christ comes into the life (Revelation 3:20)

• Sins are forgiven (Colossians 1:14)

• Becomes a child of God (John 1:12)

• A new life with Christ begins (2 Corinthians 5:17; John 10:10b)

• Assured of heaven (John 11:25,26; 17:3)

     We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and empowering the Christian is enabled to live a life pleasing to God (1 Corinthians 6:19; Galatians 5:22-23; 1Corinthians 12:11)

     We believe in the resurrection of both the Christian and the non-Christian; Christian to everlasting life; the non-Christian to everlasting loss. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We embrace the Apostles' Creed: "I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified dead and buried. He descended into Hades. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  

Amen
