本帖最后由 Big 于 2010-5-13 05:31 编辑 1 paragraph           I believe that man is totally corrupted and cannot save himself from sin (Rom. 3:10), but Christ Jesus died on the cross for the sins of man (Rom. 5:6; 1 Pet. 3:18).         I believe that the Bible reveals God’s salvation in Christ (Luke 24:44; John 5:39).  The God created the universe and all things (Gen. 1).  Christ Jesus died on the cross for the sins of man (Rom. 5:6; 1 Pet. 3:18) and his dead body was risen on the third day as predicted (Luke 24:6-7; 1 Cor. 15:20).  The Holy Spirit gives the spiritual gifts to the believers to edify the church (Rom. 12:6; 1 Cor. 12:4).  Satan tries to tempt man to disobey God (Rev. 12:9).  Man is totally corrupted and cannot save himself from sin (Rom. 3:10).  Baptism symbolizes that the believer dies and lives again with Christ (Rom. 6:4-5).  Observance of the Lord ’s Table is to commemorate the substitutional death of Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-26).  Believers are justified through faith in Christ (Rom. 3:28).  The life of believers contains a sanctified life (1 Thess. 4:7).  At the end of this age God will punish the unbelievers over the earth (Rev. 6-19), and Christ will judge the living and the dead who will be risen again for their judgment (Rev. 20:13-14; 21:8). 1 page   * version 2         I believe that the Bible is written verbally and plenarily (John 10:35); only through the Bible man may know God’s salvation (Luke 24:44; John 5:39).  The Bible also contains faith and living regulations of believers (1 Tim. 3:16).         I believe that the God created the universe and all things (Gen. 1).  God is omnipotent (Gen. 18:14), righteous (Is. 45:21), merciful (Ex. 34:6-7; 1 John 4:8, 16), and omniscient (1 John 3:10).  God is one being (Deut. 6:4) but three independent and co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Spirit (Matt. 28:19).         I believe that Christ Jesus is both the true God (Phil. 2:6) and the true man (Phil. 2:7-8).  Christ died on the cross for the sin of man (Rom. 5:6; 1 Pet. 3:18) and his dead body was risen on the third day as predicted (Luke 24:6-7; 1 Cor. 15:20).         I believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the church (1 Cor. 12:13), gives the spiritual gifts to the believers to edify the church (Rom. 12:6; 1 Cor. 12:4), is the seal of the believers (Eph. 1:13-14), and helps the believer to understand the teachings in the Bible (John 14:26; 1 Cor. 2:10).         I believe that angels are the spirits created by God to serve Him (Job 1:2), and they are mighty and fight with the evil spirits (Dan. 10:13).  Satan turned against God because of his arrogance (Ezek. 28:16-17), and leads evil spirits (Rev. 12:4).  They try to tempt man to disobey God (Rev. 12:9).         I believe that man was made by God Himself (Gen. 1:27).  I believe that man is totally corrupted and cannot save himself from sin (Rom. 3:10).  Only the salvation of Christ can save man from sin (John 1:29; Acts 2:38; 10:43).  This salvation is given by the grace of God (Rom. 9:22-23; Eph. 2:8-9).         I believe that baptism symbolizes that the believer dies and lives again with Christ (Rom. 6:4-5).  Observance of the Lord’s Table is to commemorate the substitutional death of Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-26).  The local church is given the authority to discipline and isolate the unrepentant believers (Matt. 18:17-20).         I believe that the believer is justified through faith (Rom. 3:28).  Whoever has faith in the salvation of Christ is counted by God a righteous person (Rom. 3:25).  The believers are priests of God (1 Pet. 2:5, 9).  God will forgive whoever confesses his own sin (1 John 1:9).         I believe that at the end of this age God will punish the unbelievers (Rev. 6-19).  Christ will return (Ps. 89:36; Rev. 20:4, 6), defeat Satan ultimately (Rev. 20), and judge the living and the dead who will be risen again for their judgment (Rev. 20:13-14; 21:8). * version 1         I believe that the Bible is written verbally and plenarily (John 10:35); only through the Bible man may know God’s salvation (Luke 24:44; John 5:39).  The Bible also contains faith and living regulations of believers (1 Tim. 3:16).         I believe that the God described in the Bible is the only true God (Acts 14:15).  He created the universe and all things (Gen. 1); He is unlimited in His creation (Psalm 113:5-6), omnipotent (Gen. 18:14), righteous (Is. 45:21), merciful (Ex. 34:6-7; 1 John 4:8, 16), and omniscient (1 John 3:10).  I believe the trinity of God.  God is one being (Deut. 6:4) but three independent and co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Spirit (Matt. 28:19).         I believe that Christ Jesus is both the true God (Phil. 2:6) and the true man (Phil. 2:7-8).  He has no original sin; He never committed sin (1 Pet. 2:22).  He died on the cross for the sin of man (Rom. 5:6; 1 Pet. 3:18); His dead body was risen on the third day as predicted (Luke 24:6-7; 1 Cor. 15:20).  I believe that Christ will come again in the end of this age (1 Thess. 4:15).         I believe that the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the church (1 Cor. 12:13), gives the spiritual gifts to the believers to edify the church (Rom. 12:6; 1 Cor. 12:4), is the seal of the believers (Eph. 1:13-14), helps the believer to understand the teachings in the Bible (John 14:26; 1 Cor. 2:10), and also dwells in the believer (John 14:16; Eph. 2:22).         I believe that angels are the spirits created by God to serve Him (Job 1:2), and they are mighty and fight with the evil spirits (Dan. 10:13).  Satan was the archangel (Ezek. 28:12-15), but turned against God because of his arrogance (Ezek. 28:16-17), and led away a group of angels to be evil spirits (Rev. 12:4).  They try to tempt man to disobey God (Rev. 12:9).         I believe that man was made by God Himself (Gen. 1:27).  I believe that man is totally corrupted and cannot save himself from sin (Rom. 3:10).  The sinner has a broken relationship with God, and his life is hopeless.  Only the salvation of Christ can save man from sin (John 1:29; Acts 2:38; 10:43).  This salvation is the grace of God instead of the reward of the work of man (Rom. 9:22-23; Eph. 2:8-9).         I believe that a local church means a group of believers who together learn the teachings of God and worship God (Acts 2:42), and proclaim the gospel (Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 13:1-3).  Baptism symbolizes that the believer dies and lives again with Christ (Rom. 6:4-5).  Observance of the Lord ’s Table is to commemorate the substitutional death of Christ, and wait His second coming (1 Cor. 11:24-26).  The local church is given the authority to discipline and isolate the believer who becomes apart from the teachings of God (Matt. 18:17-20).         I believe that the believer is justified through faith (Rom. 3:28).  Whoever has faith in the salvation of Christ is counted by God a righteous person (Rom. 3:25).  The life of believers contains a sanctified life (1 Thess. 4:7), giving and sharing (James 2:16-17), and prayer and praise unto God (Col. 1:3).  The believers are priests of God (1 Pet. 2:5, 9), and they can ask God directly.  God will forgive whoever confesses his own sin (1 John 1:9).  I believe that the tongues in the New Testament is languages used by human beings (Acts 2:4; 1 Cor. 14:13).         I believe that at the end of this age God will punish the unbelievers over the earth (Rev. 6-19).  Then Christ will return, and reign with His believers over the earth (Ps. 89:36; Rev. 20:4, 6).  Afterward Christ will defeat Satan ultimately (Rev. 20), and then open the court to judge the living and the dead who will be risen again for their judgment (Rev. 20:13-14; 21:8).  Only those whose names are in the book of life will live with God for ever (Rev. 20:15).
