Faith-信仰宣告

活石华人社区教会继承使徒时代的教会信仰和立场，正如《《使徒信经》所描述的。本教会继承了宗教改革的信仰立场。本教会继承了植根于《圣经》的改革宗福音信仰。

信仰宣告

1   活石华人社区教会相信全本《圣经》，包括旧约和新约的六十六卷书，将其视为受圣灵默示的神的话语，完全无误，在信仰、教义和基督徒生活的中具有充分的权威。

2   活石华人社区教会相信独一永存的三一真神。

3   活石华人社区教会相信耶稣基督是以童女马利亚所生，祂是完全的是神也是完全的人；耶稣基督为了救赎世人的罪，在十字架上受死；祂从死里复活，升天，现在正坐在父神的右边，是我们的大祭司和代求者。我们相信主耶稣必定再来。阿们！

4   活石华人社区教会相信一位神有三个位格：圣父；圣子；圣灵。三个位格具有相同的属性，同等重要，同时存在。圣灵的工作是感动人的认识自己的罪，赐予新的生命，并居住在信徒内，帮助他们过圣洁的生活，服侍神和人。

5    活石华人社区教会相信人是按照上帝的形象被创造的，但因始祖亚当的堕落而陷入罪中。唯有通过圣灵重生的工作才能使人得到救恩，属灵生命得以重建。

6    活石华人社区教会相信永恒的救赎是神白白的恩赐，与人的行为和努力无关，惟有相信耶稣基督并接受祂为个人的主和救主的人才会拥有。

7    活石华人社区教会相信死去的人会在末世肉身复活。那些相信耶稣基督为救主的人，他们将在永恒中与上帝同在，享受永恒的祝福（天堂）；而不相信耶稣基督的人，他们将经历永恒的惩罚（地狱），与上帝永远隔离。

8    活石华人社区教会相信耶稣基督是我们教会唯一的元首。我们的教会是一个借着圣灵重生的信徒的共同体。作为一个信徒的团契，我们以耶稣基督的为主，靠着圣灵的大能，敬拜上帝。我们彼此服侍，并且关怀普世的信徒，引导失丧的人认识耶稣基督，通过教导、传道和团契培育圣徒的成长。

Living Stone Chinese Community Church (LSCCC) inherits the faith and position of the church from the disciples’ age, as the “Apostle’s Creed” expresses.  This Church inherits the faith of the Reformation.  This Church inherits the Reformed Evangelical faith root of the Holy Bible.

Statement of Faith

1   Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes in all of the sixty-six (66) Books of the Old and New Testament in the Holy Bible, and considers them the inspired Word of God, without any error, the all-sufficient authority in matters of faith, doctrine and Christian living.

2   Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes in the one living God, eternally existing in three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3   Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes: in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that He is truly God and truly man; Jesus Christ’s death on the cross in order to pay the price of man’s sins; His bodily resurrection from the dead; His ascension into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of His Father and is now our High Priest and advocate.  We believe He will come again.  Amen!

4   Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes God exists in three (3) persons:  God, the Father; God, the Son; God, the Holy Spirit. These three possess the same character, are of equal importance, and co-exist.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to convict of sin, give new life, and reside within the believers, helping them live holy lives and serve God and people.

5    Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes man was created in the image of God but fell into sin with the original man, Adam, and now is lost.  Only by the regeneration work of the Holy Spirit can man’s salvation and spiritual life be redeemed.

6    Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes eternal salvation is a free gift of God, entirely apart from man’s works or efforts, and is possessed by and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

7    Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness (Heaven) which is the eternal presence with God for those who have trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior; and, the everlasting punishment (Hell) which is eternal separation from God for those who have not believed in Jesus Christ.

8    Living Stone Chinese Community Church believes Jesus Christ is the only Head of our Church.  Our Church is one body of believers, reborn through the Holy Spirit.  We worship God as a fellowship of believers, through the power of the Holy Spirit, and under the lordship of Jesus Christ.  We minister to each other and to those around the world, leading the lost to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and nurturing Christian growth through teaching, preaching and fellowship.
