As a church of the “Christian & Missionary Alliance,” we uphold the pure Gospel faith, including the following items:
1. We believe that the entire Bible (Old Testament, New Testament) is the revelation from God, and the original manuscript of the Bible is inerrant.
2. We believe in and uphold the “Fourfold Gospel” faith of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, namely:
．Jesus Christ is the “Lord of Salvation”: Jesus made the propitiation for our sins on the cross. Only by believing in Jesus and accepting Him as Savior and Lord of life can we be saved and gain eternal life.
．Jesus Christ is the “Lord of Sanctification”: Human life is a process of sanctification. Only by relying on Jesus Christ can we have the strength to overcome sin and its power, walk the path to complete holiness, live a victorious life, and be a victor.
．Jesus Christ is the “Lord of Healing”: Jesus demonstrated the power of God through miracles, confirming the message He preached. We believe that God continues to work today according to His will.
．Jesus Christ is the “Coming King”: Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and ascended to heaven on the third day after his death. All the saints come back from heaven, bringing believers eternal hope.
3. We believe that the “Apostles’ Creed” is the connotation of pure faith:
“I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day, he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen”
4. We believe in “Justification by faith,” in His love and grace, which invites every person to respond to Him freely. Human beings are responsible for responding to God’s call with faith, repentance, and obedience. The Christian life, therefore, involves a continual relationship with Christ, daily trusting Him and walking in the Spirit. This understanding is consistent with the holiness and revival tradition reflected in the ministry heritage of the Christian & Missionary Alliance and leaders such as A. B. Simpson and John Wesley.
5. We believe that the Holy Spirit continues to work in the lives of believers and in the ministry of the Church today, because the Holy Spirit is God Himself and His work did not cease after the apostolic age. The Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, leads believers into truth, empowers Christian living, gives spiritual gifts for the edification of the Church, and enables believers to serve God faithfully.
6. We believe that Christians can live a “powerful” life, not a “weak” life. Many Christians live in the contradictions and pains of weakness, heaviness, and being bound by sin daily. Their lives are full of helplessness and powerlessness, including physical, mental, and spiritual weakness…etc. The weakness of the individual creates the weakness of the church. We believe that being weak and powerless should not be a normal part of a Christian’s life, but that the Holy Spirit can strengthen life. We believe Christianity is not a religion but a way of life (Lifestyle) that relies on God and is capable.
7. We believe that God listens to prayers because He is loving, faithful, and attentive to His people. Therefore, believers are encouraged to pray with faith, thanksgiving, and dependence upon God, bringing every need before Him. Through prayer, believers experience God’s peace, guidance, strength, and comfort in Christ.
8. We believe that God desires the church to be the “being” church, not only to serve faithfully, but also to cultivate a deep and abiding relationship with Him. Like Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus, believers are called to value God’s presence through prayer, worship, Scripture reading, repentance, and spiritual growth. Ministry should flow out of a healthy spiritual life and a sincere love for God.
