我們的信仰

華人使命信義會生命堂 ( Chinese Life Lutheran Church )是美國使命信義會 (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ, LCMC) 的會員堂會,我們是一間信仰正統的華人信義宗教會,信奉三位一體之真神,亦奉聖父,聖子及聖靈的名給人施洗,裝備信眾,傳揚主的福音。本著信義宗改革運動的精神,以信守唯獨神的恩典、唯獨聖經、唯獨信心及信靠基督為核心信仰,作為建立教會的根基。

從信仰的層面,我們認為馬丁路德提出「藉恩典信耶穌基督得救」的教導正是教會改革運動的根基,同時符合聖經的教導,且宣稱「唯獨聖經,唯獨信心,唯獨基督」,並為大公教會信經宣稱的信仰核心內容。

福音就是神愛世人,將祂的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信祂的得永生。

我們認信大公教會的三大信經「使徒信經」「尼西亞信經」及「亞他拿修信經」

《使徒信經》

我信上帝,全能的父,創造天地的主。

我信耶穌基督,上帝的獨生子,我們的主;因著聖靈成孕,從童女馬利亞所生;在本丟彼拉多手下遇難,被釘在十字架上,死了,葬了; 下到陰間;第三天從死裏復活;後升天,坐在無所不能的父上帝的右 邊;將來要從那裏降臨,審判活人、死人。

我信聖靈;一聖基督教會,聖徒相通;罪得赦免;肉身復活;並且永生。

阿門。

Chinese Life Lutheran Church is a member church of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC), we are an orthodox Chinese Lutheran Church that believes in the Trinity of God, baptizes people in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equips believers, and preaches the gospel of the Lord. In the spirit of the Lutheran Reformation, the foundation of the church is to believe in the grace of God alone, the Scripture alone, the Faith alone, and Christ alone.

From the perspective of faith, we believe that Martin Luther’s teaching of “salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ” is the foundation of the Church Reformation movement, and at the same time conforms to the teachings of the Bible, and proclaims that “Scripture alone, faith alone, Christ alone” is the core content of the faith proclaimed by the Ecumenical Creed.

The gospel is that God loved the world and gave His only begotten Son for the eternal life to everyone who believes in Him.

We confess the three major creeds of the Ecumenical Church: the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasius Creed

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,

 who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,

 suffered under Pontius Pilate,

 was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.*

 On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven,

 he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

 and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,

 the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,

 the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.
