WHAT WE BELIEVE 我們的信仰
CHRIST SENDS APOSTLES
Jesus Christ had many disciples. Among them were twelve He called Apostles. He commissioned them to forgive sins in His name, to teach all people and baptize them. The Bible reports that others joined the first twelve Apostles. They discharged the same commission and were endowed with the same authority.
APOSTLES IN OUR TIME
In our time too, no less than in the first Christian congregations, Apostles fulfil Jesus Christ’s commission. They proclaim the will of God, baptize with water, dispense the Holy Spirit, forgive sins, and celebrate Holy Communion with the faithful. Ministers acting in an honorary capacity assist the Apostles.
THE APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANS
As did the first Christians, so too New Apostolic believers prepare themselves for the return ofJesus. Joyful anticipation of eternal life with God is the hallmark of their belief.
BORN TO DIE?
The birth of a human being is always a miracle. Yet right from his first breath, his death – sooner or later – is pre-ordained. In the beginning, things were not that way and in the future, they need not be so for everyone.
CREATED FOR ETERNAL LIFE
God created man; from Him he received spirit and soul. Man was intended to live with God forever. But because man sinned – that is, he acted against God’s will – this bond was broken. Man became mortal.
CHRIST HAS CONQUERED DEATH
Because of his love for mankind, God sent Jesus Christ, His son, Jesus lived free from sin in total harmony with God’s will. He died of his own free will, intending by His sacrificial death to lay the foundation for the redemption from sin. His resurrection proves His conquest over death.
主耶穌基督派遣使徒
主耶穌有許多的門徒，在他們之中的12個門徒被稱為使徒。使徒擁有被神所賜與赦免人的罪、教導世人、替人受洗的權柄。從聖經得知，之後有許多人追隨門徒，而他們也被賦予相同的權柄。
現今我們的使徒也如同教會剛開始的使徒擁有相同的權柄
他們宣告神的訊息、以聖水受洗人、聖靈的降臨、原諒人的罪、以無比的信心舉行聖餐。然而其他的神職人員則以志願性質協助使徒完成上帝的工作。
新使徒的基督徒
如同起初的基督徒一樣，新使徒教會信徒必須時時刻刻準備主耶穌基督再降臨的時刻，以喜樂的接受與神永生的信仰為唯一的信念。
生來具備迎接死亡
人的誕生是一個奇蹟，但他的出生就具備迎接死亡的命運。起初並不是如此，而且未來的世界也不會如同現今。
被賦予永生的生命
上帝創造人並賦予靈與魂，人原本要與神永遠地共同生活的，但因人犯了罪，並與神作對，於是就破壞神與人的約定，於是世人就變成肉身的。
基督克服死亡
因神愛世人的緣故，祂差遣祂的愛子主耶穌基督來到世上，祂從未犯罪，且依上帝的旨意生活。基督自願為人類犧牲性命，是為了赦免人的罪，然而祂從死亡後復活，代表了克服死亡的象徵。
