Statement of Faith
We believe:
There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
The contents of the old and new testaments of the Bible are God-breathed, written without error in the original manuscripts. It is the most absolute truth and also the foundation of the faith of saints.
The old and new testaments of the Bible testify about Jesus Christ, who became flesh, died and resurrected, dominated on the throne and would return again to judge the living and the dead and rule in God’s kingdom. Being conceived by the Holy Spirit, Jesus is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone. He is the only way, truth and life through which God’s people can [be born again, communicate with God and walk with God]. Now, Jesus already resurrected, ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God, where He intercedes for saints. In future, Jesus will come again, to execute judgments and save God’s chosen people.
Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth, which also testifies about Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Spirit’s work that saints can believe the Christ’s gospel they heard and thus be born again. Holy Spirit dwells forever in the spirits of born-again saints, and uses the words in the Bible to touch, guide and anoint saints, so that saints can be sanctified and fulfill the perfect will of Father God.
Angels are created to [serve the Lord, attend to and protect saints], they also always battle with evil demons, help saints and fulfill God’s plans.
Man is originally created in the image of God, possessing all the blessings bestowed by God. But after man was deceived by Satan to sin and fall, he is born in a state of being separated from God (having original sin). Before he hears and believes in Christ’s gospel, the state of his life is [dead in transgressions and sins, following the ruler of the kingdom of the air].
Only [saints chosen by God] can [hear and believe the gospel], be reconciled with God, have their souls saved, receive eternal life, and become the people of the heavenly kingdom. This salvation is not based on any human conditions or good deeds, but is based on God’s free grace and election, which makes man justified by faith.
All saints who are called also receive eternal promise, which is [4 gospelisations (individual, family, region, world)]. This is the promise the Lord gave Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc blessed saints. Today, the Lord also personally fulfills this promise in the lives of those who believe in Him.
Christ is the head of the church, the church is Christ’s body. The church is a fellowship of saints who believed in Christ and thus have one Father, one Lord, one Spirit, one Baptism, and one Body. Saints who belong to Christ have to lead a church-centered living, and have to join together through the different gifts and positions given by God, each one playing their parts, growing together in the love of Christ, and building Christ’s body together.
The Lord Jesus will come again, to bring saints into everlasting new heaven and new earth. Thus, the days of saints on earth are to testify for God, exalt Christ, gather God’s people and build His kingdom.
