信心受試驗,愛主更真切
Faith purified by trial, and Love increased for the Lord

(彼得前書 1 Peter 1:6-7)

信仰告白

The C&MA Doctrinal Statement

宣道會信仰宣言(此為美國宣道會第六十八届年會所通過的宣言,譯自1986年手册)

1. There is one God,(1) who is infinitely perfect,(2) existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.(3) ([1] Deuteronomy 6:4, [2] Matthew 5:48, [3] Matthew 28:19)

一、我信独一的真神,為無限完全,聖父、聖子、聖靈三位一體永存之神。

2. Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man.(4) He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.5 He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust,(6) as a substitutionary sacrifice,(7) and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.(8) He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures.(9) He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest.(10) He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace.(11) ([4] Philippians 2:6-11, [5] Luke 1:36-38, [6] I Peter 3:18, [7] Hebrews 2:9, [8] Romans 5:9, [9] Acts 2:23–24, [10] Hebrews 8:1, [11] Matthew 26:64)

二、我信耶稣基督有神、人兩性,由聖靈感孕,為童貞女馬利亚所生。他是義者為不義者死在十字架上,成為代贖祭,叫一切信他的因他流血而得稱義。他照着聖經所载,從死裡復活,今坐在至高全能者右邊,成為我們的大祭司,并要再來設立公義與平安的國度。

3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person,(12) sent to dwell, guide, teach, empower the believer,(13) and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.(14) ([12] John 14:15–18, [13] John 16:13, Acts 1:9, [14] John 16:7–11)

三、我信聖靈是神聖的位格,奉差遣住在信徒心内,指引教導加力量給他們;又叫世人為罪、為義、為審判、自己責備自己。

4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.(15) ([15] 2 Peter 1:20–21, 2 Timothy 3:15–16)

四、我信新舊約聖經原卷全無錯誤,且是神逐字逐句所默示的,為神救贖人類旨意的完整启示,且是神所定信仰與行為之唯一準繩。

5. Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God:(16) he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature,(17) are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.(18) The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment;(19) and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.(20) ([16] Genesis 1:27, [17] Romans 3:23, [18] 1 Corinthians15:20–23, [19] Revelation 21:8, [20] Revelation 21:1–4)

五、我信人是照神的形象而造,因違背神而堕落,招致靈魂與身體的死亡。每一個人都具有與生俱來的罪性,與神生命隔绝,唯一救法乃借主耶稣基督救贖大功。凡不悔改不相信者,其結局就是落在永遠有感受的痛苦中,凡相信者必承受永遠的福樂。

6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.(21) ([21] Titus 3:4–7)

六、我信耶稣基督為人類预備了救恩,叫一切悔改相信的人,得蒙聖靈重生,接受永生,并成為神的兒女。

7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly,(22) being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.(23) This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.(24) ([22] 1 Thessalonians 5:23, [23] Acts 1:8, [24] Romans 6:1–14)

七、我信神的旨意是叫一切信他的人,得蒙聖靈充滿,全然成聖,從世界及罪惡中分別出來,并獻上自己遵行神旨;因而得着能力,過聖潔的生活及作有效的事奉。「這是信徒悔改以後,靈命的轉機及長進的經驗。」

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body.(25) Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age.(26) ([25] Matthew 8:16–17, [26] James 5:13–16)

八、我信主耶稣救贖大功,包括身體可得醫治。為病人抹油及祈禱是聖經的教導,也是這時代中教會的權利。

9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, (27) which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the gospel to all nations.(28) The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.(29) ([27] Ephesians 1:22–23, [28] Matthew 28:19–20, [29] Acts 2:41–47)

九、我信教會是一切信主耶稣基督、蒙主寶血救贖、蒙聖靈重生之人所組成。教會以基督為元首,并從他接受往普天下作見證的職士,向萬邦傳福音。地方教會是當地基督徒聯合起來,舉行崇拜,借着主道得蒙造就,一同禱告,彼此交接,傳扬福音,并施行聖禮,即浸禮與聖餐的團體。

10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life;(30) for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.(31) ([30] 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, [31] John 5:28–29)

十、我信義者和不義者都將會身體復活,前者復活得生,後者復活定罪。

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent(32) and will be personal, visible, and premillennial.(33) This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.(34) ([32] Hebrews 10:37, [33] Luke 21:27, [34] Titus 2:11–14)

十一、我信主必隨時再來,是具體的、可見的事實,并在千禧年前再來。這是信徒有福的盼望,也是重要的真理,因此激勵信徒過聖潔的生活,及忠心的事奉。
