The Church of God Jesus Christ

The Church of God Jesus Christ耶穌基督神的教會

世界上只有一個屬神教會。地方性的教會都當作宗派﹐教派。因此由福音傳道者林志誠建立的教會稱為耶穌基督神的教會。

指出這是屬神教會﹔和耶穌基督是神﹐是這個教會之首。

全體信徒是屬神的。聯合在基督裡面。

神的教會亦可稱為神的召會﹐ 和神的集會。

There is no other church/assembly to the Church/Assembly of God

All believers (people of God) are united in Christ Jesus the Lord.

The name of The Church of God Jesus Christ merely serve as a distinction of assemblies of Christians who serve Jehovah God in some distinctive mode; and not mingling with anti-christs, pseudo-christians, worldliness, idolators and ungodly organisations the Bible describes.

Church of God Jesus Christ 耶穌基督神的教會

Declaration of Faith: 信仰宣言:

信仰宣言:

聖經要理簡單總結﹕(基督徒必須遵循) As a simplified summary of Biblical rule/principles Christian Assemblies/churches must follow.

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES 聖經

聖經是神的(氣息)口述讓別人記錄﹔是神的命令。是我們成為(裝備)完全人的手冊。 (提摩太後書3v16,17; 羅馬書15v4)

We believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God, and is infallible. (2 Timothy 3v16,17; Romans15v4)

聖經都是神所默示的、〔或作凡　神所默示的聖經〕於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義、都是有益的．叫屬　神的人得以完全、豫備行各樣的善事.

THE ETERNAL GODHEAD 永恒的神

(聖父﹐聖子﹐聖靈) 三合一同作見証。 (約翰一書5v7; 歌林多後書13v14; 彼得前書1v2)

We believe that God is Triune . The Trinity. The Father, The Son Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. (1 John 5v7; 2 Corinthians 13v14; 1 Peter 1v2)

並且有聖靈作見證、因為聖靈就是真理。

願主耶穌基督的恩惠、　神的慈愛、聖靈的感動、常與你們眾人同在。

就是照父　神的先見被揀選、藉著聖靈得成聖潔、以致順服耶穌基督、又蒙他血所灑的人。願恩惠平安、多多的加給你們。

THE FALL OF MAN 人犯罪跌倒

人自愿犯罪離開(失去)完美死亡隨罪孽。(羅馬書5v12)

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection. (Romans 5v12)

這就如罪是從一人入了世界、死又是從罪來的、於是死就臨到眾人、因為眾人都犯了罪。

THE PLAN OF SALVATION 神的拯救計劃

當人犯罪後﹐ 耶穌基督(神)為人死去。要一切信任(靠)他的得到原諒(赦罪)。不至滅亡﹐反得永生。 (約翰福音3v16; 羅馬書5v8)

We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him. (John 3v16; Romans 5v8)

神愛世人、甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們、叫一切信靠他的、不至滅亡、反得永生。

惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死、 (上帝)神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。

SALVATION THROUGH GRACE 拯救來自神的恩典

所有的(正確)正義是來自神(上帝)的。到基督裡面我們(人)才能聲稱是正義。(以弗所書2v8)

We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ. (Ephesians 2v8)

你們得救是本乎恩、也因著信(靠)、這並不是出於(靠)自己、乃是(靠)神所賜的(耶穌基督的救恩)。

BELIEVER'S SECURITY IS CONDITIONAL 有條件的安全

我們必須堅定的遵守基督的真理。那是我們重生時接受基督的真理(命令)。 (羅馬書2v7; 歌林多前書6v9,10; 15v2; 加拉太書6v8,9; 啟示錄2v10,11)

We believe that we have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.(Rom. 2v7; 1 Cor. 6v9,10; 15v2; Gal. 6v8,9; Rev. 2v10,11)

凡恆心行善、尋求榮耀尊貴、和不能朽壞之福的、就以永生報應他們．

你們豈不知、不義的人不能承受(上帝)神的國麼。不要自欺．無論是淫亂的、拜偶像的、姦淫的、作孌童的、親男色的、

偷竊的、貪婪的、醉酒的、辱罵的、勒索的、都不能承受(上帝)神的國。

並且你們若不是徒然相信、能以持守我所傳給你們的、就必因這福音得救。

順著情慾撒種的、必從情慾收敗壞．順著聖靈撒種的、必從聖靈收永生。

我們行善、不可喪志．若不灰心、到了時候、就要收成。

你將要受的苦你不用怕．魔鬼要把你們中間幾個人下在監裡、叫你們被試煉．你們必受患難十日。你務要至死忠心、我就賜給你那生命的冠冕。

聖靈向眾教會所說的話、凡有耳的、就應當聽。得勝的、必不受第二次死的害。

REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE 忏悔和接受耶穌基督(神)

自從真誠的悔改﹐全心接受耶穌基督﹐ 我們可在神前稱義。 (約翰一書1v9)

We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God. (1 John 1v9)

我們若認自己的罪、(上帝)神是信實的、是公義的、必要赦免我們的罪、洗淨我們一切的不義。

THE NEW BIRTH 新的重生

重生在心內。真悔改在於誠。(歌林多後書5v17; 加拉太書2v20)

We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one. (2 Corinthians 5v17; Galatians 2v20)

若有人在基督裡、他就是新造的人．舊事已過、都變成新的了。

我已經與基督同釘十架．現在活著的、不再是我、乃是基督在我裡面活著．並且我如今在肉身活著、是因信　神的兒子而活、他是愛我、為我捨己。

DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING 每日基督徒生活

我們每日需要在神內增長。在信上增長。(希伯來書6v1,2)

We believe that it is the will of God that we be sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith. (Hebrews 6:1)

所以我們應當離開基督道理的開端、竭力進到完全的地步．不必再立根基、就如那懊悔死行、信靠　神、

各樣洗禮、按手之禮、死人復活、以及永遠審判、各等教訓。

BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER 洗禮和聖餐

水禮(略浸)是外面的標記﹔內在的工作。聖餐(吃餅喝葡萄汁)是紀念主的晚餐的象徵。 (歌林多前書11v24,25)

We believe that baptism with water is an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28v19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of the bread and juice of the vine. (1 Corinthians 11v24, 25)

主祝謝了、就擘開、說、這是我的身體、為你們捨的．〔捨有古卷作擘開〕你們應當如此行、為的是記念我。

飯後、也照樣拿起杯來、說、這杯是用我的血所立的新約．你們每逢喝的時候、要如此行、為的是記念我。

BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT 聖靈洗禮

聖靈(洗禮)授給基督徒能力和力量。聖靈洗禮有恩贈。 (使徒行傳2v4)

We believe that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days. (Acts 2:4)

他們就都被聖靈充滿、按著聖靈所賜的口才、說起別國的話來。

THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE 聖靈充滿的生活

(以弗所書4v30-32)

We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit daily. (Ephesians 4v30-32)

不要叫　神的聖靈擔憂．你們原是受了他的印記、等候得贖的日子來到。

一切苦毒、惱恨、忿怒、嚷鬧、毀謗、並一切惡毒、〔或作陰毒〕都當從你們中間除掉．

並要以恩慈相待、存憐憫的心、彼此饒恕、正如　神在基督裡饒恕了你們一樣。

THE GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT 聖靈的恩惠和結果子

(歌林多前書12v1-11; 加拉太書5v22,23)

We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian; and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life. (1 Corinthians 12v1-11; Galatians 5v22)

弟兄們、論到屬靈的恩賜、我不願意你們不明白。你們作外邦人的時候、隨事被牽引受迷惑、去服事那啞吧偶像．這是你們知道的。所以我告訴你們、被　神的靈感動的、沒有說耶穌是可咒詛的．若不是被聖靈感動的、也沒有能說耶穌是主的。

恩賜原有分別、聖靈卻是一位。職事也有分別、主卻是一位。功用也有分別、　神卻是一位、在眾人裡面運行一切的事。

聖靈顯在各人身上、是叫人得益處。

這人蒙聖靈賜他智慧的言語．那人也蒙這位聖靈賜他知識的言語。

又有一人蒙這位聖靈賜他信心。還有一人蒙這位聖靈賜他醫病的恩賜。又叫一人能行異能。又叫一人能作先知。又叫一人能辨別諸靈。又叫一人能說方言。又叫一人能繙方言。

這一切都是這位聖靈所運行、隨己意分給各人的。

聖靈所結的果子、就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制．這樣的事、沒有律法禁止。

DIVINE HEALING 聖靈的醫治

(雅各書5v14-16)

We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically sick in answer to the prayer of faith. (James 5v14-16)

你們中間有病了的呢、他就該請教會的長老來．他們可以奉主的名用油抹他、為他禱告。

出於信心的祈禱、要救那病人、主必叫他起來。他若犯了罪、也必蒙赦免。

所以你們要彼此認罪、互相代求、使你們可以得醫治。義人祈禱所發的力量、是大有功效的。

THE COMING BLESSED HOPE 就要來的祝福和希望

被提與主相遇 (帖撒羅尼迦前書4v16,17)

We believe that the rapture of the church is personal and imminent. (1 Thessalonians 4v16, 17)

因為主必親自從天降臨、有呼叫的聲音、和天使長的聲音、又有　神的號吹響．那在基督裡死了的人必先復活。

以後我們這活著還存留的人、必和他們一同被提到雲裡、在空中與主相遇．這樣、我們就要和主永遠同在。

CHURCH RELATIONSHIP 教會關系

在世眾教會聯合見証基督 (使徒行傳16v5; 希伯來書10v25)

We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Body of Christ. (Acts 16v5; Hebrews 10v25)

於是眾教會信心越發堅固、人數天天加增。

你們不可停止聚會、好像那些停止慣了的人、倒要彼此勸勉．既知道〔原文作看見〕那日子臨近、就更當如此。

OBEY GODLY CIVIL GOVERNMENT 合神意公民的治理

順服符合神意的掌權 (羅馬書13v1-5)

We believe that rulers should be upheld at all times except in things opposed to the will of God. (Romans 13v1-5)

在上有權柄的、人人當順服他．因為沒有權柄不是出於　神的．凡掌權的都是　神所命的。所以抗拒掌權的、就是抗拒　神的命．抗拒的必自取刑罰。作官的原不是叫行善的懼怕、乃是叫作惡的懼怕。你願意不懼怕掌權的麼．你只要行善、就可得他的稱讚．

因為他是　神的用人、是與你有益的。你若作惡、卻當懼怕．因為他不是空空的佩劍．他是　神的用人、是伸冤的、刑罰那作惡的。

所以你們必須順服、不但是因為刑罰、也是因為良心。

THE FINAL JUDGEMENT 結局審判

(歌林多後書5v10)

We believe that all shall stand some day before the judgement seat of God, and there receive eternal life or damnation. (2 Corinthians 5v10)

因為我們眾人、必要在基督臺前顯露出來、叫各人按著本身所行的、或善或惡受報。

HEAVEN, OUR ETERNAL HOME 天堂我們永恒的家

(約翰福音14v1-3; 啟示錄7v15-17)

We believe that Heaven is the glorious eternal home of all true born-again believers. (John 14v1-3; Revelation 7v15-17)

你們心裡不要憂愁．你們信　神、也當信我(主)。

在我父的家裡、有許多住處．若是沒有、我就早已告訴你們了．我去原是為你們豫備地方去。

我若去為你們豫備了地方、就必再來接你們到我那裡去．我在那裡、叫你們也在那裡。

所以他們在　神寶座前、晝夜在他殿中事奉他．坐寶座的要用帳幕覆庇他們。他們不再飢、不再渴．日頭和炎熱、也必不傷害他們．

因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們、領他們到生命水的泉源．　神也必擦去他們一切的眼淚。

HELL, ETERNAL SEPARATION 地獄永恒的分離

(啟示錄20v10,15)

We believe that hell is the literal place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as their Savior and Lord. (Revelation 20v10,15)

那迷惑他們的魔鬼、被扔在硫磺的火湖裡、就是獸和假先知所在的地方．他們必晝夜受痛苦、直到永永遠遠。

若有人名字沒記在生命冊上、他就被扔在火湖裡。

EVANGELISM, OUR COMMISSION 福音傳道我們的委任

(雅各書5v20)

We believe that soul winning is the most important responsibility of the Church. (James 5v20)

這人該知道叫一個罪人從迷路上轉回、便是救一個靈魂不死、並且遮蓋許多的罪。

TITHES AND OFFERINGS 十分之一之稅奉獻

(瑪拉基書3v10; 歌林多後書9v7)

We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving of tithes and free-will offerings. (Malachi 3v10; 2 Corinthians9v7)

萬軍之耶和華說、你們要將當納的十分之一、全然送入倉庫、使我家有糧、以此試試我、是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶、傾福與你們、甚至無處可容。

各人要隨本心所酌定的．不要作難、不要勉強．因為捐得樂意的人、是　神所喜愛的。
