Self-image of the New Apostolic Church / 新使徒教会的自我形象
The way to salvation ordained by Jesus Christ for our time:
- The New Apostolic Church is led by Jesus Christ through living Apostles. Its doctrine is based on the Holy Scriptures.
- The Apostle ministry is the ministry authorized by Jesus Christ to convey salvation.
- Apostles are essential to prepare His church for His promised return.
- The New Apostolic Church recognizes three Sacraments: Holy Baptism with water, Holy Sealing and Holy Communion.
- The dispensation of Holy Sealing and Holy Communion as well as forgiveness of sins is bound to the Apostle ministry.
- New Apostolic Christians have received the gift of the Holy Spirit through Holy Sealing.
- Jesus Christ, of whom the Holy Scripture bears witness, is central to the faith life of New Apostolic Christians. He is active in His church today and He will return. The goal of faith of New Apostolic Christians is to be united with Christ when He returns.
耶稣基督为当今时代所命定的救赎道路:
- 新使徒教会是由耶稣基督藉着活着的使徒带领的。它的教义根源于圣经。
- 使徒职分是由耶稣基督授权为要传达救赎而设立的圣职。
- 使徒职分对于为基督应许的再来而预备教会是必不可少的。
- 新使徒教会承认三圣礼:圣水洗礼、圣灵印记礼和圣餐礼。
- 施行圣灵印记礼、圣餐礼以及罪得赦免离不开使徒职分。
- 新使徒教会基督徒已藉着圣灵印记礼领受了圣灵的恩赐。
- 圣经所见证的耶稣基督是新使徒教会基督徒信仰生活的中心。他如今依然在他的教会做工,他必将再来。新使徒教会基督徒的信仰目标是基督再来时与他成为一体。
