Our Confession of Faith
Confession of faith
1.Bible
The 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the revelation of Christ and the truth of the gospel.
The Bible is the standard for our faith, life, and daily living and is the sole canon of the Church.
2.Trinity
The One and Only God is a triune God, identical in essence, love, and perfect holiness, Three in one Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3.God the Father
God the Father is the Eternal, the possessor of infinite power, wisdom, and mercy.
He is the Creator and the Preserver of the visible and invisible.
4.Son Jesus Christ
His Son Jesus Christ is absolutely divine, fully God and fully man.
He is true God and true man.
He was born of a virgin and went to the cross as a sinless and perfect man to redeem us from our sins.
His Son rose from the dead with a glorified body and became the guarantee of eternal life.
This Son, the Lord who ascended into heaven, poured out the Holy Spirit whom He received from the Father, gave Himself as the head of the Church, and intercedes for us.
This Lord will come again in glory.
5.Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, is the One who testifies of Christ and leads us into all truth.
Given as a gift to the Church, He causes the world to acknowledge its sins, then leads it to the grace of renewal and sanctification, produces fruit, and gives it various gifts for service.
The Holy Spirit continues to work in the world God has created, aiming at the perfection of the redemption of the whole universe.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit, unlike reincarnation, is a clear and certain power to serve God.
6.Salvation
The first man was created in the image of God.
However, sin entered the first man because of his disobedience, and as a result, sin and corruption entered the entire human race.
Those who believe in the atonement of Jesus Christ are justified by faith, reconciled to God, and made sons of God.
Those who are justified are furthermore given full sanctification through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and will receive the grace of glorification at the Second Coming.
Salvation is a gift from God.
It is solely by God’s grace. Therefore, salvation is the work that pleases God, and it is only through the faith of personally believing in and accepting Jesus Christ.
Christ commanded the believers to observe these things within the church:
Water baptism (a confession of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection),
and Holy communion (to remember Jesus Christ’s blood and broken body).
7.Church
The Apostolic Communion Church is the body of Christ, called by God, confessing Jesus Christ as Savior,
and is a community of worshipers.
The Church proclaims the Word of God and administers the sacraments instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ, namely, baptism and Holy Communion.
The special mission of our church is to proclaim the fourfold gospel of new birth, sanctification, divine healing, and the second coming to the whole world,
and to serve for the completion of the redemption of this world. The church is commanded to preach the gospel to all nations.
8.Apocalypse
When Jesus Christ returns, the dead in Christ will be resurrected, the living saints will be glorified, and the Kingdom of God will be complete.
Jesus Christ will return to receive His Bride, the Church, again, as He promised.
We believe this and confess the Apostles’ Creed together with the saints of past generations.
