Our Statement of Faith
| |
We are the Body of
Christ, given the Great Commandment (Mt.12:30-31) and the Great Commission
(Mt.28:19-20) by the Lord Jesus Christ. God revealed The Holy Bible to
be the true foundation of our beliefs. Our purpose is to expand God's
Kingdom and give evidence of God's glory in these five aspects:
1.
Worship
2.
Ministry
3.
Fellowship
4.
Discipleship
5.

- We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit; and these three are the same in substance, equal
in power and glory.
- We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments as verbally
and plenary inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, and
that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
- We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
- We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned,
and thereby incurred, not only physical death but also that spiritual
death which is separation from God and that all human beings are born
with a sinful nature, and, in the case of those who reach moral responsibility,
become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins; according
to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice;
and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed
blood.
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in
His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High
Priest and Advocate.
- We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, who convicts
the sinner, regenerates, indwells, enlightens and guides the believer.
- We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are
born again by the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God.
- We believe on "that blessed hope" the personal
and premillennial and imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; the
everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of
the lost.
Based on the above statement, the Chinese Community Church of Indianapolis
devotes its ministries to the Chinese both Overseas and American-born in
accordance with God-given cultural characteristics and regional location.
