Subject: God Provides Orthodoxy to His Own |
Bible Note: "We believe if a person has confessed his sin and repented, if he has believed in Jesus as the Son of God who died for our sin on the cross and resurrected from death on the third day to pardon our sins, and if he has received the Holy Spirit that God has promised, then he is born again and saved. It is by grace and through faith that we are saved. By faith we are justified; by faith we receive the Holy Spirit, and by faith we become the sons of God. "We believe that God can keep His children completely in Jesus Christ, while the believers are obligated to hold on to their faith firmly till the end. "We believe that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is an evidence of salvation, and that the Spirit of God testifies with our spirits that we are children of God. "We are against the practice of taking any specific phenomenon or personal experiences as common criterions of salvation for all. "We are against any doctrine that teaches a saved person is allowed to freely sin under God’s grace. We are against the teaching of multi-salvation (that one can lose but then gain back his salvation many times); we are also against salvation by keeping the law." --Statement of Faith of Chinese House Churches (1998) |
