SPIRITUAL FORMATION AT CHRIST’S CHURCH ACADEMY
圣经:我相信整本圣经,旧约和新约合在一起的66卷书都是由上帝口头默示的,在原文中是无误的。 通过上帝的护理,上帝的话语被保护和保存,是信仰和实践的唯一权威规则(提摩太后书3:16-17;彼得后书1:20-21)。
God: I believe that there is only one true, living, sovereign, holy, and eternally existent God. 他以三个平等的位格存在——圣父、圣子和圣灵。 每个人都是不同的人,有不同的功能,但都有一个本质,都拥有相同的本性、完美和属性。 三位一体的神是万物的创造者和维系者,是一切真理的源头,值得崇拜、信任和顺服(申命记6:4-5;创世记1:31)。
Jesus Christ: I believe that Jesus Christ is God. 他由圣灵怀孕,由童贞女所生,过着无罪的生活,行过许多神迹,在十字架上流血为我们的罪还债,被埋葬,身体复活,升到父的右边,并将在荣耀和大能中字面上,可见地,亲自回来(约翰福音1:1- 13,14;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:我相信圣灵是神,与圣父和圣子平等共存。 他是罪的主要定罪者,是重生和成圣的主要代理人。 圣灵住在每个信徒里面,使每个信徒有能力过敬虔的生活(约翰福音14:16- 19,16:7-15;哥林多前书15:1-8;使徒行传1:11)。
Mankind: I believe that in the beginning, God created mankind in His image, and it is not in any sense the product of evolution. 人类最初被造的时候就有能力为了神的荣耀而活得完美(创世记1:27,31)。
Sin: I believe that Adam, the first man, sinned by disobedience. 这一行为导致了全人类的堕落,因此,所有的人都犯了罪,失去了为上帝的荣耀而活的能力。 每个人的罪都会导致身体和精神上的死亡,直到神的恩典赦免和拯救(创世记3:1-24;罗马书3:10- 23,5:12 - 21,6:23)。
Salvation: I believe the salvation of lost and sinful people is a free gift of God’s grace apart from human works, based solely upon Christ’s victory over 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 and His resurrection from death (Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
The Church: I believe the church is a body of Christ and the family of God. 它由得救并受洗的信徒组成,他们定期聚集在一起敬拜、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)。
Evangelism: I believe that it is a responsibility and privilege of every Christian to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to seek to make growing disciples (Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:8)
The Family: We hold the state of marriage to be an expression of a Biblical standard and the union between a man and a woman. 违反这一神圣信任的行为包括同性恋、双性恋和变性人。 (创世记1:27,2:24;马太福音19:4-5;罗马书1:26-27;哥林多前书6:9-10;以弗所书5:3)
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; Proverb 22:6). 我相信,当家庭、教会和学校紧密合作,并在生活的基本概念上达成一致时,就会有一致而全面的教育。
