Statement of Faith

North Edmonton Alliance Church is part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada. 

  1. God
    There is one God,¹ who is infinitely perfect,² existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.³
  2. Jesus
    Jesus Christ is true God and true man.4 He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.5 He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures.6 He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest.7 He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.8
  3. Holy Spirit
    The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell,9 guides, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.10
  4. Bible
    The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.11
  5. Sin
    Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God,12 fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.13 The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss.14
  6. Freedom from Sin
    Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God.15
  7. Christian Living
    It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly16 thereby being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial and effective service toward the completion of Christ’s commission.17
  8. Healing
    Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age.19
  9. Church
    The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations.20The local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together to worship God, to observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, to pray, to be edified through the Word of God, to fellowship, and to testify in word and deed to the good news of salvation both locally and globally. The local church enters into relationships with other like-minded churches for accountability, encouragement and mission.21
  10. Life after death
    There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life;22 for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.23
  11. Second Coming of Christ
    The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible.24 As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ’s commission.25

  2. 相信耶穌基督既為真神亦完人為聖靈感孕,藉童貞女馬利亞而生。捨身十架,為贖罪祭牲,義者代不義,使信者藉寶血得生,稱義得救。又按聖經所記死後三日復活。今尊為吾等大祭司榮上主右邊。不日再來建立公義和平國度。
    (腓2:6-11;來2:14-18;西2:9;太1:18;路1:35;林前15:3-5;約壹2:2;徒13:39;來4:14-15,9:24-28;太25:31-34;徒1:11)
  3. 聖靈乃受遣聖者,內住信徒心中,引領及教導信徒,賜予能力,使世人為罪為義為審判自責。

  4. 神默示新舊約聖經,其原稿正確無誤,完全顯明神使人得救的旨意,為基督徒信仰生活法典。
    (提後3:16-17;彼後1:20-21)
  5. 神按己形造人,後世人用悖逆墮落,咎取身體靈魂死亡,後代人類生具罪性,遠離生命之主,惟主耶穌基督代贖鴻恩,信者蒙恩得救,永享恩福。頑梗不信者被罰受苦。
    (創1:27;羅8:8;約壹2:2;太25:41-46;帖後1:7-10)
  6. 耶穌基督成就普世救恩;悔改相信者自聖靈重生,蒙受永生救恩,貴為上主兒女。
