What We Believe

The Holy Bible

The Bible (both Old and New Testaments) is truly the word of God which were written by people who were given inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2Timothy 3:15 ~ 16

2 Peter 1:20

God of Trinity

God is omnipotent, the Creator of the universe and one in trinity: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit as one God.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:1 ~ 3

John 1:14, John 10:30, Isaiah 9:6, Romans 8:9, Romans 9:5, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 John 5:20

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, died on the cross as a ransom for the sins of the world. He was resurrected, ascended to heaven as the Chief Priest and the Mediator, and will return in the future.

25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Romans 4:25

Matthew 1:18~25, Matthew 20:28, Hebrews 7:24, Job 16:19, Job 19:25, Acts 1:9~11

The Holy Spirit

God is on earth as the Holy Spirit, enlightening people to realise their sins and saving them with the word of God. He not only dwells in Christians, but also builds His church by uniting Christians as one.

7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment：
John 16:7 ~ 8

1 Corinthians 6:19, Ephesians 4:3~4

Sin and judgment

All mankind became sinners through one man, Adam, and each person will be judged according to their works by the righteous God.

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--
Romans 5:12

Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 20:12~15

The Salvation

Jesus Christ perfected eternal redemption with His own blood by dying on the cross to take away the sins of the world. We obtained eternal salvation that will never perish. Salvation is given not by abiding in the law or doing good deeds, but by believing in the grace given by Jesus Christ through the word of God.

28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
John 10:28

John 1:29, Ephesians 2:8~9, Hebrews 9:12, 1 Peter 1:23

Church

The church is the gathering of born again Christians who have been united by the Holy Spirit. It is a place where we love one another and have fellowship together. The church is the body of Christ and born again Christians are individual members that form the body.

23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 1:23

1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 12:12~13, 1 Corinthians 12:27

Holy Ceremonies

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the ceremonies that God commanded us to keep. Baptism is the sign of salvation from the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The bread and wine of the supper are the commemoration of His body and blood.

19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
Matthew 28:19 ~ 20

Romans 6:4~5, 1 Peter 3:20, 1 Corinthians 11:23~26

The resurrection and Rapture

We believe in the return of Jesus Christ in the air right before the commencement of the seven-year tribulation. On that day, the dead Christians will be raised first, and the living Christians will be transformed next. All of us will then meet our Lord Jesus Christ in the air.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
1Thessalonians 4:16 ~ 17

1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Corinthians 15:51~52

Millennium Kingdom and Eternal Heaven

We believe in the judgment of the world through the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. After the judgment, the Millennial Kingdom will be established and the born again Christians as citizens of God’s kingdom will enter the new heaven and earth where they will be blessed with eternal life and glory with God.

1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
Revelation 21:1 ~ 4

Zechariah 14:4, Psalms 2:5~9, Revelation 20:4~6
