教會論, 2006-06-09
教會是耶穌基督的身體(弗 1:23; 西 1:24)﹐是神的殿(林前 6:19; 弗 2:21-22)﹐是聖靈居住的地方(林前 6:19; 弗 2:22)。教會的目的是要使人成為耶穌的門徒(太 28:19-20)﹐一起過關懷﹑教導(順服神)(傳福音)﹑和敬拜(親近神)(感謝又敬畏)的生活(太 4:23; 徒 2:42)。洗禮是象徵信徒與基督同死同生(羅 6:4-5)。守聖餐是紀念基督寶血的救贖(林前 11:24-26)。教會有權柄來訓誡和隔離偏離主道的信徒(太 18:17-20)。
服事的基礎是分享異象(徒 14:27)以及分工合作(林前 3:6)。傳福音的基礎是關懷式的見證(太 5:16; 約 13:35)。
禁食是認罪(賽 58:5-7; 但 9:3-4)。禱告是凡事順服(賽 58:2; 太 6:10)﹑凡事聖潔(太 6:13; 羅 12:1-2)﹑凡事感謝(弗 5:20; 西 3:17)。

I believe that man cannot save himself from sin (Rom. 3:12), but the death of Christ Jesus can save man from the wrath of God (Rom. 5:10). The church is to make disciples of Christ (Matt. 28:19-20) for caring, teaching and worship (Acts 2:42) through vision sharing (Acts 14:27) and teamwork (1 Cor. 3:6). 我信人无法救自己脱离罪（罗3:12），但是基督耶稣的死可以救人脱离神的愤怒（罗5:10）。教会要使人成为基督的门徒（太28:19-20），使人关怀、教导、敬拜（徒2:42）并且分享异象和分工合作（林前3:6）。
I believe that the Bible reveals God’s salvation plan in Christ (Luke 24:44; John 5:39). God created the universe and all things (Gen. 1). Christ Jesus died for the sins of man (Rom. 5:6; 1 Pet. 3:18) and was risen as prophesied (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). Sinners can be justified through faith in Christ (Rom. 3:28). Believers should live a sanctified life (1 Thess. 4:7) and be the witness of Christ (Acts 1:8). 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).

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). 我信人完全堕落，人无法就自己脱离罪（罗3:10），但是基督耶稣死在十字架上，是为了人的罪死（罗5:6；彼前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).
