Concerning
the Holy Scripture We believe all the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament of the
Holy Scripture are inspired by God. All these books are inerrant and
infallible Word of God, the sufficient rule of faith and life. We believe the
authority of the Holy Scripture that all churches, councils, and decrees are
subject to its authority. We also believe the relevancy of the Holy Scripture
that no part of the Word of God is irrelevant today regarding the race, time,
or space. Concerning
God and the Holy Trinity We believe there is only one true God, one God in Trinity, God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and three persons in one unity.
The Son is eternally generated from the Father and the Holy Spirit is
eternally proceeded from the Father and the Son. The Trinity is
consubstantial and equally in power, and glory. As the living personal
Spirit, pertaining to God¡¯s infinity, He is absolute,
supreme, self-existent, immutable, unity, perfect, immense, and eternal.
Pertaining to His creation, He is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.
Holiness, righteousness, love, and truth are God's moral attributes. Concerning
Christ the Mediator We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal begotten Son of God,
the Divine Second Person of the Holy Trinity, and the Logos was not only with
God, but was God. All things are created through Him, by Him, and unto Him.
He is the radiance of God's glory, the exact manifestation of God's being. We
believe the two distinct natures of the human and the divine were inseparably
joined in the one person of Christ. With His vicarious atonement He redeems
us with His blood. We believe that Christ was born of Virgin Mary through the
Holy Spirit, died on the cross, buried, resurrected on the third day, and
raised to the heavenly place and sat down at the right hand side of God. He is
coming back again for His saints and for the completion of the Concerning
the Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Third Person of the Holy
Trinity, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is "to be believed in,
loved, obeyed, and worshiped throughout all ages (The Westminster Confession
of Faith)." The Holy Spirit is the sole agent to regenerate men by His
grace and indwelling in the hearts of believers as the Comforter and
Sanctifier. The Holy Spirit reveals and glorifies Christ our Lord, guide us
into all truth, and convicts the world of sin and righteousness and judgment.
Through Him all the believers being united as the Body of Christ and in
Christ the believers are being built together to become a dwelling place of
God. Concerning
the Doctrine of Man We believe that man is not a spontaneous production of the earth and is
not developed through an natural process of evolution and the like. Man is
created by God and is created according to the image and the likeness of God
which was in a state of innocence with righteousness and holiness. In the
state of sin, man is totally depraved. The sinner is spiritually dead, blind,
and deaf to the things of God. His will is not free. In the state of grace,
through the redemption of Jesus Christ our Lord, the Holy Spirit awakes the sinner
spiritually and frees him from the enslavement of sin. Faith is itself a part
of God¡¯s gift of salvation. It is God¡¯s gift to sinner. Concerning
the We believe that the universal church, which consists of all believers
throughout all ages, is the Body and Bride of Christ. The church is the home
to the eternal God and the fullness of God, Who fills all and in all. The
purpose of the church is to fulfill the great commission of Christ, to edify
the saints, and to seek Him with all diligence and perseverance. |
