ФУНДАМЕНТАЛЬНЫЕ ПОЛОЖЕНИЯ ВЕРЫ
Библия является полным и самодостаточным основанием веры, убеждений и образа жизни.
1. Писания
Библия (Ветхий и Новый завет) является откровением и посланием Бога людям и является непоколебимым, авторитетным наставником в вере и поступках.
( 2 Тим.3:15-17; 1 Фес. 2:13; 2 Пет. 1:21)
2. Единый истинный Бог
Есть только один истинный Бог. Он открыл Себя как вечно Сущий, ничего не было прежде Него, и ничто не было причиной Его существования. Он есть Создатель неба и земли. Бог открыл Себя как единого Бога, который включает три взаимосвязанных Личности: Отец, Сын и Дух Святой. Понимание одного Бога в форме трёх Личностей называется Троицей.
(Ис. 43:10, Быт. 1:1, Втор. 6:4, Мф.. 28:19, Лк. 3:22)
3. Божественность Господа Иисуса Христа
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal God, and the Son of God. The Scriptures reveal to us His Immaculate Conception and Birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, His physical resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven.
(Деян. 1:9,11, Мф. 1:23, Евр. 7:26, Деян. 10:38, 2 Кор. 5:21, 1 Кор.15:4)
4. Грехопадение человека
God created man in His own image, sinless, good and righteous; male and female He created them. But by exercising his freedom of choice, man by his voluntary decision violated God's decree, committed sin, and allowed spiritual fall. Thereby he lost his godly nature, brought upon himself physical death and spiritual death, that is, separation from God.
(Быт. 1:27; 2:17; 3:6, Римл. 5:12-19)
5. Спасение человека
Salvation is deliverance from spiritual death and sinful bondage. God gives salvation to all who believe in and accept His free gift of forgiveness. The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ. (Деян. 4:12)
a. Conditions of Salvation
Salvation is obtained through repentance of one's sins to God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. At the moment of salvation, one becomes an heir of God's promised hope of eternal life. (Ин. 3:3; Титу 3:5-7)
b. Evidence of salvation
The internal evidence of salvation is the direct testimony of the Holy Spirit to a person that he is accepted by God. The outward evidence of salvation is a holy and righteous life.
(Римл. 8:16, Еф. 4:24)
6. Таинства Церкви
a. Водное крещение
The sacrament of baptism by full immersion in water is commanded in the Bible. All who repent and confess Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are to be baptized in water. This testifies to all that a person has died to a sinful life and has been raised to a new life in Christ. (1 Пет. 3:21, Римл. 6:4)
b.Святое Причастие
The Lord's Supper is a commandment given by Christ to the Church, which consists of two visible elements: the bread and the fruit of the vine, which is a symbol of the Body and Blood of Christ.
The Lord's Supper consists of bread and wine (fruit of the vine) and symbolizes the remembrance of Christ's suffering and death. The partaker expresses the assurance that in salvation he or she has been reconciled to God and now shares in the divine nature of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Кор. 11:24-26, Ин. 6:53, 54)
7. Крещение Святым Духом
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is an important stage in the spiritual life of the believer. This experience allows for a deeper and better prayer life, access to spiritual gifts, and the power to witness to the Messiah
(Деян. 1:8, 1 Кор. 12:1-31)
8. Свидетельство крещения Святым Духом
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them an utterance.
(Деян. 2:4)
9. Освящение
This is the act of separation from evil and consecration to God. A Christian is sanctified when he or she turns to Christ and accepts by faith His sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection. Scripture teaches that we are to be holy because God is holy.
(1 Пет. 1:14-16)
10. Церковь и её миссия
The church is made up of people redeemed by Christ who are called to fulfill Christ's great commission. (Мк. 16:15,16)
The church consists of all people who have believed that Jesus Christ is the only salvation from sins. The church includes all Christians regardless of age, race, gender (female or male) or denomination. It is the Body of Christ, the dwelling place of God in the form of the Holy Spirit. Every Christian is an integral part of the Universal Church and must also become a part of the local and home church. The names of all true believers (of whom the Church is composed) are written in heaven. (Еф. 1:22, 23; 2:22; Евр. 12:23)
The primary reason for the existence of the local church as part of the Universal Church is:
a. To be God's agent for the evangelization of the world. (Деян. 1:8; Мф. 28:19,20; Мк. 16:15,16)
b. To be a unified, holistic community in which man can worship God. (1 Кор. 12:13)
c. To be a channel for the fulfillment of God's plan to build up a community of saints growing into the image of His Son. (Еф.. 4:11-16)
11. Служение
Service is the Christian's natural response to the divine calling to fulfill the following four purposes:
12. Божественное исцеление
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. (Ис. 53:4,5; Мф.8:16,17; Иак. 5:14-16)
13. Благословенная надежда
Christians who have died will one day be resurrected, rise from their graves, and meet the Lord in heaven and the living will be lifted up with them to be with the Lord.
(1 Кор. 15:51, 52; 1 Фес. 4:13-17)
14. Тысячелетнее царство Христа
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of all Christians, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to rule on earth for 1,000 years. (Matthew 24:27, 30; Rev. 1:7; 19:11- 14; 20:1-6) His 1,000-year reign will bring salvation to the nation of Israel and peace will be restored to the earth. (Иез. 37:21, 22; Соф. 3:19, 20; Римл. 11:26, 27)
15. Последний суд
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked - those who died without accepting Christ's salvation - will be raised from the dead to answer in judgment for their deeds. Anyone whose name is not written in the book of life, along with the devil and his angels, the beast, and the false prophet, will face eternal punishment in the lake of fire. This is called the "second death."
(Мф. 25:46; Откр. 20:11-15, 21:8)
16. Новое небо и новая земля
"According to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells."
(2 Пет. 3:13; Откр. 21, 22)
17. Священность, неприкосновенность человеческой жизни
We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life has inestimable value in all its dimensions, including the living fetus in the body of a pregnant woman, premature infants, the elderly, the physically or mentally handicapped, and any other stage or condition from conception to natural death. Therefore, we are called to protect, preserve, and value any human life.
(Пс. 138:13-16; Иер.1:4-5)
