聖經 Holy Scripture
我們相信聖經是神所默示的，是有權威的，並且是神無誤的話語。它是從神而來的 特殊及最終的啟示，向我們顯示一切有關神的榮耀和給人類的救贖計劃。
We believe that the Scripture is the God-breathed, authoritative, and infallible Word of God, a special and final revelation from God, revealing everything pertaining to God’s glory and man’s salvation.
三位一體的神 Triune God
我們相信獨一的，又真又活的神。祂在本質上為一，但有三個位格：聖父，聖子，以及聖靈。我們相信神是自足的，是決對地聖潔。祂創造、托住、並掌管宇宙萬有，按著祂自己在永恆中的意念，公正地管理所有被造物。
We believe in the one and only living God, who is one in Essence and three in Person: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that God is the self-sufficient and the most absolute holy being, who is the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of the whole creation, justly reigning all according to His eternal decree.
人 Man
我們相信神按著祂自己的形像，並為著祂自己的榮耀，創造了人。起初人是良善、公義的；但之後人墮落，在罪中成了死的，在他自己的本質中完全地敗壞。第一次墮落的後果臨到了全人類，以致沒有一人在真正的善上有任何能力，每一人都應得神的烈怒和定罪。
We believe that God, in His image and for His glory, created man upright, who then fell from this original righteousness and became dead in sin, totally depraved in his being. The consequence of this Fall was imputed to the whole humankind, all of whom are utterly incapable of any true goodness, all of whom are justly under the wrath and condemnation of God.
約 Covenant
我們相信神藉由耶穌基督贖罪的工作及聖靈，將救贖賜下給祂在世界各處、歷代所揀選的子民。三位一體神中的第二位格，耶穌基督，是完全的神，也是完全的人；祂為選民的救恩創始成終。三位一體神中的第三位格，聖靈，藉由更新選民的心以及使他們的全人成為聖潔，來完成救恩。從前完全墮落的選民在基督裡藉著神所賜的信得以被神的恩典救贖，而因此重生。
We believe that God ordains the salvation for His elects throughout the world and history through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, the second person of the Triune God, true God and true Man, is the Author and Finisher of the salvation of the elects. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the triune God, effects the salvation to the elects through regeneration of their hearts and sanctification of their whole persons. The elects, totally depraved, are made alive and saved by God’s grace through God-given faith in Christ.
教會 Church
我們相信教會是神所揀選的子民，以基督為頭並藉著聖靈的運作被神呼召來宣召及順服神的話語，執行聖禮，和實行信仰的修訓。神同時呼召教會實鑑耶穌基督所令的大使命直到我們在基督裡所認識耶和華榮耀的知識「要充滿遍地，好像水充滿洋海一般。」
We believe that the Church is God’s elects, whose head is Jesus Christ, and, through the work of the Holy Spirit, is called to preach and obey God’s Word, administer the Sacraments, and effect disciplines in matters of faith. The Church is also called to perform the Great Commission as commanded by Jesus Christ, until the knowledge of the glory of God in Christ “covers the earth as the waters cover the sea.”
最後審判 Last Judgment
我們相信神已預定了一天來審判世人。那一日，活著的人將不會死，死去的人會從死裡復活，都將在神面前接受祂的審判。 凡與基督有份的將要在那永恆的新天新地中與基督同享榮耀直到永遠﹔凡與基督無份的將要在那為魔鬼與罪人預備的地獄中承受那公義的咒詛與刑罰直到永遠。
We believe that God has appointed a day to judge the living and the dead. On that day, the living will not die and the dead will be raised. All who are in Christ will share the glory with Christ in the new heaven and new earth in eternity, while all who are not in Christ will receive their just condemnation in hell in eternity.
