信仰宣言

（中文译本以英文为依据）

‍灵盈学院全心确认旧约及新约经文所言，乃是神的启示，并宣认以下信念。我们 明确坚持这些教义，认为这些教义对理解和宣扬福音，和实践基督徒生活，至为重要。

• 神的全权、爱、恩惠，创造里的父、子、圣灵，护佑、启示、救赎和最后审判。
• 圣经的神圣默示，全然可信，在信仰与操守各项事情上具有至尊权威。
• 神所创造每一个人的价值。自从堕落之后，人普遍的罪性，使一切都与神隔离，并受到定罪。
• 主耶稣基督全然是神与全然是人，是道成肉身的神子，祂替代的牺牲是人可以从罪愆、惩罚与罪恶的权势下得救赎的唯一基础。
• 罪人透过单单信靠基督被钉十字架并从死里复活，得以借赖神的恩典而成圣。
• 圣灵在信徒里面成就神光照、更新、内住和净化的工夫。
• 教会肇始于新约，福音信仰群体秉承历史来理解教会。
• 预期主耶稣基督亲身以可见的方式再来，我们有分于复活，以及永生的盼望。

Statement Of Faith

• The Makarios Institute for Spiritual Formation Ministries (MISFM) together affirm wholeheartedly the revelation of God as given in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess the faith set forth here. We here explicitly assert the doctrines which we regard as crucial to the understanding and proclamation of the Gospel and to practical Christian living:
  The sovereignty, love, and grace of God, the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgment.
  
  
• The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture and its entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
• The value of each human being as created by God. The universal sinfulness of humankind since the fall, which alienates all from God and subjects all to condemnation.
  
• The full deity and humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, whose substitutionary sacrifice is the sole ground of redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin.
  
• The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
• The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God, the Holy Spirit, in the believer.
• The church as set forth in the New Testament and understood historically by the evangelical church community.
• The expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, our participation in the resurrection, and the hope of eternal life.
