本會信仰
我們相信…
1) 默示的聖經
全部新舊約聖經都是神逐字默示的,是神向世人的啟示,是信仰和生活無誤的權威準則(提後三15-17;帖前二12;彼後一21)。
2) 獨一的真神
只有一位真神,創造天地的主,人類的救贖主。祂揭示自己為那自有永有者,並進一步以父、子、聖靈來啟示自己,具體地啟示其彼此的關係與聯合(申六4;賽四十三10,11;太廿八19;路三22)。
3) 主耶穌基督的神聖
主耶穌基督是上帝永恆的兒子。如經上所記祂由童貞女所生(太一23;路一31,35),從沒犯罪(來七26;彼前二22),在世廣行神蹟(徒22,十38),並在十架上替我們贖罪(林前十五3;林後五21)。祂從死裡復活(太廿八6;路廿四39;林前十五4),並且高升,坐在父神的右邊(徒一9,11,二33;腓二9-11;來一:3)。
4) 人類的墮落
人被造是良善正直的,正如上帝說「我們要照著我們的形象,按著我們的樣式造人。」然而人故意犯罪,以致墮落。從此不單招致肉身的死亡,靈性也同時死亡,就是與上帝隔絕(創一26-27,二17,三6;羅五12-19)。
5) 人類的救恩
人類救贖唯一的盼望,是藉著神兒子耶穌基督流出的寶血。

得救的條件
救恩乃藉著悔改歸主和信靠主耶穌基督而獲得。藉著重生的洗,和聖靈的更新,人可以本著神的恩,也因著信,被稱為義,照著永生的盼望,成為神的後嗣 (路廿四47;約三3;羅十13-15;弗二8;多二11;三5-7)。

得救的證據
得救的內在證據是聖靈親身的見證 (羅八16)。
得救的外在證據乃是正直的生命和真的聖潔 (弗四24;多二12)。
6) 教會的聖禮

浸禮
聖經教導的是浸在水中的洗禮。凡悔改相信基督是救主和主的,都要受洗。藉此,他們向世人宣告已經與基督同死、同復活,一舉一動有新生的樣式(太廿八19;可十六16;徒十47,48;羅六4)。聖餐
聖餐包括兩個元素—餅和葡萄汁—象徵我們分享主耶穌基督的神聖 (彼後一4),記念祂的受苦受死 (林前十一26),和預言祂的再來 (林前十一26)。信徒應當如此行,「直到祂來!」
7) 聖靈的浸
眾信徒有權亦應當按照主耶穌基督的吩咐,熱切期望和尋求父所應許的聖靈與火的施洗。從而得到生命與事奉的能力,並且得著恩賜來服事。這是初期教會正常的經歷(路廿四49;徒一4,8;林前十二1-31)。這經歷有別於重生,卻接續於重生 (徒八12-17;十44-46;十一14-16;十五7-9)。聖靈的浸亦帶來以下的經歷﹕
> 聖靈的滿盈 (約七37-39;徒四8)
> 對上帝更深的崇敬 (徒二43;來十二28)
> 更加委身於上帝和祂的工作 (徒二42)
> 更熱切地愛基督、愛祂的話、愛失喪的人(可十六20)
8) 靈浸的初始具體的證據
信徒受靈浸的初始具體的證據,是聖靈賜給他們口才,說起方言來(徒二4)。這種方言與方言的恩賜本質上是相同的,但目的和用途不同 (林前十二4-10,28)。
9) 成聖
成聖乃離開罪惡,委身上帝的行動 (羅十二1-2;帖前五23;來十三12)。聖經教導的生活是﹕「非聖潔沒有人能見主」(來十二14) 。藉著聖靈的能力,我們能遵從這吩咐﹕「你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的」(彼前一15-16)。信徒成聖的實現,是藉著認定與基督同死、同復活,並藉著信,每天與主聯合,不斷將各肢體機能全然獻上,讓聖靈掌管。(羅六1-11,13;八1,2,13;羅十二1-2;加二20;腓二12-13;帖前五23;來十二14;十三12;彼前一5)。
10) 教會並它的使命
教會是基督的身體,是上帝藉聖靈居住的所在,蒙上帝差遣去完成大使命。每位聖靈重生的信徒,都是那首生者之教會總會的一份子,他們的名字錄在天上(弗一22-23,二22;來十二23)。上帝關於人的計劃,是要尋找拯救失喪的人,是要讓人敬拜,是要建造一群效法祂兒子模樣的信徒,以及是要顯示祂的愛和關懷予全世界。故此,作為教會的一部份,神召會最首要的存在目的是要:
(1) 作為上帝的僕人,使福音傳遍天下 (太廿八19-20;可十六15-16;徒一8)。
(2) 作為敬拜上帝的團體 (林前十二13)。
(3) 作為上帝旨意的管道,建立聖徒群體,效法祂兒子模樣,得以完全 (弗四11-16;林前十二28;十四12)。
(4) 作為顯示上帝的愛與關懷予全世界的人(詩一一二9;加二10;六10;雅一27)。明顯地,神召會的存在,是要透過教導和鼓勵信徒接受靈浸,不住地強調活在這新約時代的使徒性生活模式。這靈浸的經歷﹕
(1) 能使他們得著聖靈的能力去傳揚福音,並有超自然的神跡隨伴著 (可十六15-20;徒四29-31;來二3-4)。
(2) 能使敬拜上帝的關係中注入不可或缺的向度 (林前二10-16;十二;十三)。
(3) 能幫助他們透過表現聖靈的果子、恩賜和事奉,回應聖靈全面的工作,來建立基督的身體,以及關心世上貧窮和有需要的人,正如新約時代一般 (加五22-26; 林前十四12; 弗四11-12; 林前十二28; 西一29)。
11) 事奉
我們的主交付給我們的神聖選召和聖經所規定的職事,是要領導教會朝向四個目標﹕
(1) 將福音傳遍天下(可十六15-20) 。
(2) 敬拜上帝 (約四23-24)。
(3) 建造聖徒群體,因效法神兒子的模樣而得以完全 (弗四11-16)。
(4) 藉著愛與關懷的服事,去滿足人的需要 (詩一一二9;加二10;六10;雅一27) 。
12) 神的醫治
神的醫治是福音完整的部份,從疾病中得釋放是包含在基督救贖大功之中,是上帝要給予信祂的人的權利(賽五十三4-5;太八16-17;雅五14-16)。
13) 有福的盼望
主再來時,在基督裡睡了的人必然復活,那仍然活著的,身體要改變。對教會而言,這是快將來臨的有福盼望(帖前四16-17;羅八23;多二13;林前十五51-52)。
14) 基督掌權一千年
基督第二次降臨,其中包括聖徒被提,乃我們有福的盼望。接著的是基督有形有體地與眾聖徒一同降臨,在地上作王一千年 (亞十四5;太廿四27,30;啟一7,十九11-14,廿1-6)。
這千年統治帶來以色列全家得救 (結三十七21-22;番三19-20;羅十一26-27)。
並建立普世的和平 (賽十一6-9;詩七十二3-8;彌四3-4)。
15) 最後的審判
將來必有最後的審判,那時作惡的死人要復活,按其所行的接受審判。名字沒有記在生命冊上的,將要與魔鬼和牠的使者、獸和假先知,一同被扔到火湖裡受永刑,這是第二次的死 (太廿五46;可九43-48;啟十九20,廿11-15,廿一8)。
16) 新天新地
「但我們照祂的應許,盼望新天新地。有義居在其中。」(彼後三13;啟廿一;廿二章)。

Assemblies of God Fundamental Truths
These are nonnegotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to.
1) The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
‧ 2 Timothy 3:15-17 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 2 Peter 1:21 [KJV/NIV]

‧ Acts 2:33 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Philippians 2:9-11 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Hebrews 1:3 [KJV/NIV]

4) The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
‧ Genesis 1:26,27 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Genesis 2:17 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Genesis 3:6 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 5:12-19 [KJV/NIV]
5) The Salvation of Man
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.Conditions to Salvation
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.‧ Luke 24:47 [KJV/NIV]
‧ John 3:3 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 10:13-15 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Ephesians 2:8 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Titus 2:11 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Titus 3:5-7 [KJV/NIV]

The Evidence of Salvation
The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit.

‧ Romans 8:16 [KJV/NIV]

The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.

‧ Ephesians 4:24 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Titus 2:12 [KJV/NIV]

6) The Ordinances of the Church

Baptism in Water
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Saviour and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
‧ Matthew 28:19 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Mark 16:16 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 10:47,48 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 6:4 [KJV/NIV]Holy Communion
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements –bread and the fruit of the vine– is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4 [KJV/NIV]), a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26 [KJV/NIV]), and is enjoined on all believers “till He come!”
7) The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.‧ Luke 24:49 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 1:4 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 1:8 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 [KJV/NIV]This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth.
‧ Acts 8:12-17 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 10:44-46 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 11:14-16 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 15:7-9 [KJV/NIV]

With the baptism in the Holy Spirit come such experiences as:
‧ an overflowing fullness of the Spirit, John 7:37-39 [KJV/NIV], Acts 4:8 [KJV/NIV]
‧ a deepened reverence for God, Acts 2:43 [KJV/NIV], Hebrews 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
‧ an intensified consecration to God and dedication to His work, Acts 2:42 [KJV/NIV]
‧ and a more active love for Christ, for His Word and for the lost, Mark 16:20 [KJV/NIV]

8) The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.‧ Acts 2:4 [KJV/NIV]The speaking in tongues in this instance is the same in essence as the gift of tongues, but is different in purpose and use.

‧ 1 Corinthians 12:4-10 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]

9) Sanctification
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.‧ Romans 12:1,2 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Thessalonians 5:23 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Hebrews 13:12 [KJV/NIV]The Scriptures teach a life of “holiness without which no man shall see the Lord.”
‧ Hebrews 12:14 [KJV/NIV]

By the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command: “Be ye holy, for I am holy.”
‧ 1 Peter 1:15,16 [KJV/NIV]

Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

‧ Romans 6:1-11 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 6:13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 8:1,2 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 8:13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Galatians 2:20 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Philippians 2:12,13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Peter 1:5 [KJV/NIV]

10) The Church and its Mission
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.‧ Ephesians 1:22,23 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Ephesians 2:22 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Hebrews 12:23 [KJV/NIV]Since God’s purpose concerning man is to seek and to save that which is lost, to be worshipped by man, to build a body of believers in the image of His Son, and to demonstrate His love and compassion for all the world, the priority reason for being of the Assemblies of God as part of the Church is:

1. To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world.
‧ Acts 1:8 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Matthew 28:19,20 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Mark 16:15,16 [KJV/NIV]

2. To be a corporate body in which man may worship God.
‧ 1 Corinthians 12:13 [KJV/NIV]

3. To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.
‧ Ephesians 4:11-16 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 14:12 [KJV/NIV]

4. To be a people who demonstrate God’s love and compassion for all the world.
‧ Psalms 112:9 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Galatians 2:10; 6:10 [KJV/NIV]
‧ James 1:27 [KJV/NIV]

The Assemblies of God exists expressly to give continuing emphasis to this reason for being in the New Testament apostolic pattern by teaching and encouraging believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. This experience:

1. Enables them to evangelize in the power of the Spirit with accompanying supernatural signs.
‧ Mark 16:15-20 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Acts 4:29-31 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Hebrews 2:3,4 [KJV/NIV]

2. Adds a necessary dimension to worshipful relationship with God.
‧ 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 12 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 14 [KJV/NIV]

3. Enables them to respond to the full working of the Holy Spirit in expression of fruit and gifts and ministries as in New Testament times for the edifying of the body of Christ and care for the poor and needy of the world.
‧ Galatians 5:22-26 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Matthew 25:37-40 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Galatians 6:10 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 14:12 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Ephesians 4:11,12 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 12:28 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Colossians 1:29 [KJV/NIV]

11) The Ministry
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in:Evangelization of the world.
‧ Mark 16:15-20 [KJV/NIV]Worship of God.
‧ John 4:23,24 [KJV/NIV]

Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.
‧ Ephesians 4:11-16 [KJV/NIV]

Meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion.
‧ Psalms 112:9 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Galatians 2:10; 6:10 [KJV/NIV]
‧ James 1:27 [KJV/NIV]

12) Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.‧ Isaiah 53:4,5 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Matthew 8:16,17 [KJV/NIV]
‧ James 5:14-16 [KJV/NIV]
13) The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
‧ 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 8:23 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Titus 2:13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ 1 Corinthians 15:51,52 [KJV/NIV]
14) The Millennial Reign of Christ
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.‧ Zechariah 14:5 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Matthew 24:27 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Matthew 24:30 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 1:7 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 19:11-14 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 20:1-6 [KJV/NIV]This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel,
‧ Ezekiel 37:21,22 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Zephaniah 3:19,20 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Romans 11:26,27 [KJV/NIV]

and the establishment of universal peace.
‧ Isaiah 11:6-9 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Psalms 72:3-8 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Micah 4:3,4 [KJV/NIV]

15) The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.‧ Matthew 25:46 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Mark 9:43-48 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 19:20 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 20:11-15 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 21:8 [KJV/NIV]
16) The New Heavens and the New Earth
“We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.”‧ 2 Peter 3:13 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 21 [KJV/NIV]
‧ Revelation 22 [KJV/NIV]
