Confession of Faith of the Japan Alliance Christ Church

This denomination is a member of the public Church centered on Jesus Christ, which is revealed by the Bible, and we confess as following faith based on biblical faith:

 

"We believe and confess as follows, based on the bliefs revealed in the Bible, expressed by the Apostles' Creed and other common creeds, and clarified in religious Reformation:

  1. The 66 volume of the Old and New Testaments is the unmistakable Word of God, written by divine inspiration, and are the only infallible standard of faith and life that reveals God's entire plan of salvation, reveals the Savior Jesus Christ, and teaches the way of salvation.

  2. God is Spirit, one Lord Almighty, eternally triune in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, identical in essence and equal in power and glory.

  3. God is the absolute sovereign who created all things by His eternal will and who governs them through providence.

  4. In the beginning, man was created in the image of God and had a right relationship with God. But he was tempted by Satan, rebelled against God's commandments, sinned, and defiled the image of God. Therefore, all people are born under the power of sin, misery, and death, and are sinful in thought, word, and deed. They cannot return to God by their own efforts and will be doomed to eternal destruction.

  5. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only Son of God the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, true God and true man. He was crucified on our behalf, died, was buried, descended into hell, and rose from the dead on the third day, accomplishing redemption for us and giving us eternal life. He ascended into heaven, sat at the right hand of God the Father, and is still interceding for us as our High Priest.

  6. The Holy Spirit shows us the Father and the Son, convicts us of our sins, grants us forgiveness, and makes us born again, making us children of God. A person is justified by God's grace, not by his own works, through the redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ, by faith alone. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit dwells within us as the Helper and Comforter, transforming us into the Lord's image, enabling us to do His will, remaining with us until the end of the world, and making us joint heirs with Christ.

  7. The Church is the people of God called by the Holy Spirit, the body with the Lord Jesus Christ as its head, and the flock of sheep that listen only to the voice of the Lord, the Shepherd. The Church on earth worships the Lord, preaches the Word, administers the sacraments, observes discipline, and proclaims the gospel to the whole world by the power of the Holy Spirit, while waiting for the Lord to come again.

  8. In the last days, the Lord Jesus Christ will return bodily to judge the living and the dead. He will raise us bodily, transform us into the same image as his glory, renew all things, and complete the kingdom of God.
