A. There is one God, ¹ Creator of all things, ² who is infinitely perfect, ³ and existing eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. ⁴

B. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. ⁵ He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. ⁶ He died upon the cross, the Righteous for the unrighteous, as a substitutionary sacrifice, ⁷ and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. ⁸ He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. ⁹ He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high ¹⁰ as our great High Priest. ¹¹ He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace. ¹²

C. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, and empower the believer for godly living and service, to bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. ¹³

D. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, whose words were inspired by God, are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of all people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice. ¹⁴

E. People were originally created in the image and likeness of God; they fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. ¹⁵ Subsequently all people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through faith in the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. ¹⁶ The destiny of the unrepentant and unbelieving is everlasting separation from God in conscious torment (Hell); but that of the believer is everlasting joy and blessing in the presence of the Lord (Heaven). ¹⁷

F. Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ for all people. ¹⁸ Those who repent and believe in Him are justified freely by His grace, are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God. ¹⁹

G. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified thoroughly, thereby being separated from the power of sin and conformity to the world, and being fully dedicated to the will of God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ’s commission. ²⁰ This is both a distinct encounter and a progressive experience in the life of the believer, subsequent to conversion. ²¹

H. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. ²² Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age. ²³

I. The universal Church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church. He has commissioned the Church to go to all nations as a witness of the Gospel. ²⁴

The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, which includes being built up through the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, the observance of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and the witness of the Gospel locally and globally. ²⁵

J. There shall be a bodily resurrection of all people. ²⁶ For believers a resurrection to life; ²⁷ for unbelievers a resurrection to judgement. ²⁸

K. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent, and will be personal and visible. ²⁹ As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive to holy living and faithful service toward the completion of Christ’s commission. ³⁰

上帝：敬奉獨一真神，無限至善 (申32: 4；太 5: 48；賽 44: 6, 45:5-6)，永存三位一體——聖父、聖子與聖靈 (太28:19)。

耶穌：相信耶穌基督既為真神，亦為完全人(腓2:6-11；來2:14-18；西2:9)，為聖靈感孕，借童貞女馬利亞而生(太1:18)，舍身十架，為贖罪祭牲，義者代替不義，使信者借寶血得生，稱義得救。衪又按聖經所記三日後復活(徒13:39；林前15:3-5)，今尊為吾等大祭司，榮坐上帝右邊(來4:14-15；9:24-28) ，不日再來建立公義和平國度(太25:31-34；徒1:11)。

聖靈：聖靈乃為聖者，受遣內住信徒心中 (約 14:16-17)，引領、教導信徒，並賜予能力；衪使世人為罪，為義，為審判自責 (約 16:7-11)。

聖經：新舊約聖經乃神所默示，其旨意之完整啟示，使人得救，其原稿絕無錯誤，為基督信仰與生活唯一法典和權威(提後3:16-17；彼後1:20-21) 。

罪：神起初按己形像樣式造人 (創 1:27)，後來世人因悖逆而墮落，咎取身體與靈魂俱各死亡。後代人類生具罪性，遠離生命之主，惟賴主耶穌基督代贖之工方能得救 (羅8:8；約壹2:2)。信者蒙恩永享恩福；頑梗不信者被罰永受苦 (太25: 41-46；帖後1:7-10)。

救恩：唯獨耶穌基督成就普世救恩，祂是世人唯一拯救。悔改相信者藉聖靈與基督聯合，獲得重生，被稱為義、得成聖潔，承受永生，貴為上帝兒女 (多 3:5-7；徒 2:38；約1:12；林前6:11)。

基督徒生活：神的旨意乃是：信徒與基督聯合，全然成聖 (帖前 5:23)，從而遠離罪與世界，全然歸主，得著能力活出聖潔生命，傾力事奉，實踐大使命 (徒 1:8)。被聖靈充滿是達成以上目標之途徑，而被聖靈充滿既是信徒生活中一個獨特的事件，又是繼續不斷的經歷（羅12:1-2，加5:16-25）。

醫治：耶穌基督成就救恩，包括使人肉身得蒙醫治。照聖經教訓為病人抹油禱告，乃教會於今所當享特權 (太 8:16-17；雅 5:13-16)。

教會：耶穌基督是教會的元首。普世教會乃由世上所有信靠耶穌基督，蒙寶血赦罪得贖，借聖靈重生，受基督差遣往普天下去向萬國萬民傳福音作見證的信眾組成 (弗1:22-23；3:6-12) 。地方教會乃普世教會之可見形體，由地方信眾組成，聚集互為肢體，旨在同心敬拜，奉行聖禮——向信者施洗並同領聖餐，禱告真神，領受聖言，彼此相交，以言行作見證廣傳救恩福音 。各主內地方教會乃需互相支持，鼓勵，同心實踐教會使命 (來 10:25; 徒2:41-47)。

復活：必有死人復活。義者復活得生 (林前 15:20-23)，不信者復活受審 (帖後 1:7-10)。

主再來：主耶穌基督必以具體可見的方式隨時復臨 (帖前 4:13-17；徒 1:7-10；林前 1:7)。此乃聖徒活潑盼望，激勵生活分別為聖，事奉熱切忠誠，完成主托付大使命 (多 2:11-14)。
