1. God: There is one God,1 who is infinitely perfect,2 existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.3

2. Jesus: Jesus Christ is true God and true man.4 He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.5 He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures.6 He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest.7 He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.8

3. Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell,9 guide, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.10

4. Bible: The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.11

5. Sin: Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God,12 fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.13 The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.14

6. Freedom from Sin: Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.15

7. Christian Living: It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly16 thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ's commission.17

8. Healing: Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age.19

9. Church: The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations.20 The local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to worship God, to observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, to pray, to be edified through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters into relationships with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement and mission.21

10. Life after death: There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life;22 for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.23

11. Second Coming of Christ: The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible.24 As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ's commission.25

宣道會信仰宣言(中文翻譯，以英文為準)

  • 1. 只有一神，無限完美，永遠存在：乃聖父、聖子、聖靈三位一體。

  • 2. 耶穌基督是真神真人，由聖靈感孕，童貞女馬利亞所生。祂死在十字架上， 是義者為不義者，及代替性的犧牲，使一切相信祂的都因祂所流的血稱義。祂按聖經所說的從死裡復活，現今在至高神的右邊作我們的大祭司，祂會再來設立公義和平的國度。

  • 3. 聖靈是一位神聖的位格，被差往住在信徒之內﹑引導﹑教訓，及賜予能力，又為罪為義為審判指證世界。

  • 4. 舊約及新約聖經，原本無誤，由神逐字默示，乃神為人救贖旨意的完全啟示，聖經是基督徒信仰與實踐之神聖而獨一的準則。

  • 5. 人原來是按照神的形像和樣式被創造，因叛逆而墮落，引致肉身和靈魂的死亡，全人類生來就有罪性，與神的生命隔絕，而只能藉著主耶穌基督贖罪之功才可得救。不悔改又不信者的份是永遠存留在醒覺的痛苦中，而信徒的份乃是永遠的喜樂與福樂。

  • 6. 救恩已經藉著耶穌基督為全人預備了，悔改相信耶穌的人是由聖靈重生，得著永生的禮物，成為神的兒女。

  • 7. 神的旨意乃要信徒被聖靈充滿及被完全聖化，與罪和世界隔絕，又完全獻身於神的旨意，以至得著聖潔生活及有效事奉的能力。這是一個轉捩式及漸進式的經歷，在信主之後在信徒生命中發生。

  • 8. 主耶穌基督救贖之功內有為醫治肉身的預備。為病者禱告，抹油乃是聖經的教訓及在這時代中教會的權利。

  • 9. 教會乃由所有相信主耶穌基督，藉祂的血所贖，由聖靈重生的人組成。基督是身體，即教會的頭。差派教會往普天下去作見證，傳福音給萬民，地方教會是一群信基督的人連合起來為要敬拜神，藉神的道受造就﹑禱告﹑相交﹑宣揚福音，及履行洗禮及聖餐。

  • 10. 義者與不義者都將會在肉體復活，義者復活得生，不義者復活定罪。

  • 11. 主耶穌基督的第二次來臨是即至的，又將會親身的﹑可見的。這是信徒有福盼望，並且是一項激勵聖潔生活及忠心事奉的重要真理。
