What We Believe

1. THE GLORY OF GOD

1. God’s Majesty

i. God who exists of Himself is worthy to be praised, the Creator of the world out of nothing to display the greatness of His character and attributes. Our Lord is the one true God, by His Word designed, caused and sustained all visible and invisible creatures into being. Though we are God’s possessions, He is not dependent on creation for His own praise and rejoicing but instead man’s true happiness is to glorify Him and being found in Christ. As His renown is what matters most in this world, the whole wisdom of God in the Scriptures instruct us to satisfy our restless souls in His intrinsic value, pleasures and worth.

2. The Trinity

i. Believing that our one God is a trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,

are equally divine, eternally existing Persons, who love, know, and glorify one another. Each person being perfect, boundless and changeless in His justice and power, in His love and holiness, in His wisdom and knowledge, and in His truth and blessedness. Yet each Person has distinct and irreversible functions in creation, providence and salvation. Through our knowledge of the Father, we have a true knowledge of the Son; and from the Son, a true knowledge of the Father and the Spirit; and illumined by the Spirit, we are again carried back to the grandeur of this one, true God, whose ways are unfathomable. The truth that there are three Persons in one God holds intact the Good News that it is God alone who saves sinners; the mutual relation and delight between the Persons provide believers communion with God; the functional subordination between the Persons ground our gender-specific roles within the household of faith; and the unified purposes between the Persons enjoin the church’s mission to the world.

3. God’s Sovereignty and Providence

Humanity, created in God’s image, has been gifted with the will to perform what

his heart desires most but the Lord does whatsoever He pleases. Knowing the end from the beginning, the only wise Sovereign has planned all things that comes pass as the Fountain of all goodness and not the author of evil in any way. Thus, what we love to ascribe to God is absolute sovereignty over all things. Yet His reign doesn’t diminish man’s total accountability for his moral actions or make God’s freedom contingent upon His creatures.

Human misery and wickedness are not what is supposed to be but for this

broken world, God’s kingdom has been inaugurated to bring about reconciliation through the exalted Christ. In His comprehensive reign in human society, believers are being saved from sin’s disastrous effects and receive new life from death’s corrupting power. As God’s rule continues to prevail through the church’s ministry, it gradually grows along with man’s impiety and challenged by Satan’s deceptions. But when Christ comes again, He will make things right as Judge of the living and the dead and to have dominion over all of God’s new creation. It is with such ingratitude, therefore, when the official teachers of the Church defraud believers of this invaluable certainty and incontrovertible truth- that from eternity God has chosen to spare a people from His own vengeance utterly out of sheer grace and sovereignty.

Though God is transcendent, He is personally and perpetually active in

governing the universe in its vast array and apart from His sustenance all things will not function in its course. As humanity receives His compassionate supplies, the whole of nature awaits full restoration from the corruptions and brevity from which their Creator had subjected them.

Performed and witnessed since antiquity, validated miracles are credible signs of God’s activity in this world, the greatest of which was Christ’s resurrection from the dead. And at His own pleasure, He overrules the regular and normal works of nature and intervene in the affairs of men.

2. THE WORSHIP OF GOD

1. The Worship of God

The acceptable way of worshipping God is to humbly offer Him what is due by placing our whole lives in thankful consecration. Under the new covenant, our great high Priest, the Lord Jesus, makes our worship accepted for what the Father seeks are true-hearted worshipers who are fixated upon the Gospel. To worship God means that our whole existence as genuine worshippers is fully integrated where our inward devotion to the Lord extends to our collective, Church life in public gatherings – steeped in God’s grace. Both privately and corporately, worshipping God is regulated by the Scriptures, filled with the Spirit, informed in the best of Christian traditions, and concerned for the unconverted and marginalized people.

It is part of service to God not only to observe ecclesiastical duties but also to

engage in public service and legitimate enterprises. In governing authorities, as in the Christian Church, it is equally evil to aim at making followers and vanquishing heresies by sheer persecution and brute force. Instead, its powers as derived from God is the enforcement of justice and vengeance upon the world’s wicked ways. But the Church’s distinct calling is due obedience and to pay taxes, to appreciate the arts and sciences, to pray for our country’s governors and seek the peace of the city in which we live. With diligence, honesty and godliness, we adorn the Gospel by supporting our own family as serving our true Master in heaven.1 Pleasing in the sight of God, we imitate Christ’s example by not assimilating the world’s values, nor by separating from our neighbor’s concerns but to be contagious in pure compassion in reaching out to the lost.

The aim of every Christian gathering is to build one another in love, faith,

and hope. It is all-together unique and sacred because it is for the service of God. Captivated by God’s majesty, the congregation sings spiritual songs, receives the proclamation of the word, prays for the cause of His kingdom, and keep the unity of the Spirit as stewards of peace. It is intelligible, participatory and orderly in the use of gifts for the good of the people. And we anticipate a time when the entire redeemed of God bow down to Him who sits on the throne and savor our Redeemer’s glory forever.

Never are man's pollutions so miserably demonstrated than when we

engage in religious idolatry and use the name of God for our own ends. That God is spirit, without body or parts, forbids us to make any representations of Him and of any creature in physical images, or think of God in human forms. But in the new heavens and new earth we will behold the face of Christ in all His excellencies, and in all His divine and human qualities. For all veneration and adoration, we ascribe only to God, who is worthy of full reverence and awe, not to any saints or ministers, holy books or relics. Since Scriptures teach us that any person or thing where our hearts place greater value besides God is an idol, we plead for Christ to cleanse our minds from every all evil, lust and greed.

3. THE REVELATION OF GOD

1. God’s Revelation & the Knowledge of God

We have a God who speaks and communicates—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit who knows one another from eternity past is our sure foundation for the knowledge of ourselves and of the world around us. Though we cannot know Him exhaustively because of limitations and sinfulness yet we can know Him truly through the inward instruction of the Spirit by impressing the Scriptures upon our hearts. In His mercy, God chose to clearly reveal His attributes through nature so that men and women from different nations may acknowledge what is true wisdom and power. This common knowledge of God among men suffices to indict us of guilt but not to save us from our sins.

God make Himself known in various events, institutions, and people, with a

special favor to Israel under the old covenant2. These shadows have shown the mysteries of His will until the substance was manifested in Christ, have comforted His people to live by faith in the Gospel He promised beforehand, and have pointed for the grace that was to come. And Jesus Christ is that full and perfect revelation of God. He has made known the God who is invisible and through whom God has spoken in these last days. He is both superior and the fulfillment of all previous mediators of God’s word to men for He himself is the Word of God, our Priest and King. Since Christ alone is worthy to unfold the sovereign plans of his Father, all of God’s promises are being accomplished in Him. The Church, the entire members of the new covenant, have this saving knowledge of God.

2. The Scriptures

The prophets of Israel, together with the apostles of Christ, had committed the

words and actions made by God and through God into writing, which are the Scriptures of the Old Testament in Hebrew and Aramaic, and the New

Testament in Greek. These sixty-six books are the only written words of God, in its every word and as a whole, a product of the Spirit’s superintendence on the human authors. The Church is subordinate to the Scriptures’ intrinsic authority for it is without error in the original writings, sufficient in all that God requires us to do, final in every domain of knowledge to which it speaks, and replete with God’s will for man’s redemption.

That the Holy Spirit makes the Bible clear for humans to understand is based upon God’s desire to communicate though there are parts that are not equally plain among themselves or when it is silent on particular issues. And since this sacred Word is growing, active3 and vital to fulfill the Great Commission, the church is called to make it accessible to all people-groups by translating it into their vernacular.

4. MAN AND HIS FALL IN SIN

1. Solidarity of the Human Race

i. The first pages of Scriptures are masterfully crafted to teach us an historical Adam and Eve, specially formed by God’s immediate power without the preexistence of any species to beget them. Fearfully and wonderfully made, the significant worth of all persons, men and women alike, young and old, weak and strong are grounded in man as God’s image-bearer and all other accounts of our origin aside from man’s solidarity with Adam are untrue. For nature and humanity are not mere objects of chance but God’s creative product in the span of six days beckoning all people of all generations to promptly give a grateful heart for this life.

2. Marriage and Singleness

Marriage is a lifelong, covenant union between one man and one woman4 for

mutual construction of Christian love5, the sole context for sexual relationships6, God’s design for procreation7 and to reflect Christ’s love to the church.8 Though some men and women are equipped to singleness in undivided devotion to the Lord yet both callings are pleasing to God and are gifts from our heavenly Father not one vocation more sanctified over the other.9 But since we are living through the first and second Advent of Christ, and that this world in its present form is passing away10, married and single people are summoned to lay up treasures in heaven and invest in the eternal pleasures of the world to come.11

Based upon creation and redemption, men and women are of equal worth in the eyes of God but have different roles in mutual complement at home, in society and at the church. Husbands are to love and have authority over their wives, and wives are called to submit to their own husbands—both in partnership to advance the Gospel and the care of children. And except in extreme medical cases, abortion or every form of infanticide are detestable to the Lord, who is personally active in creating human beings from the time of conception.

3. Original Sin

Primarily, sin is the cancer of every society, a personal affront to God’s holiness, and the transgression of the law. It is the spring of our selfish conceit, idolatrous acts and disordered loves. The rich harmony between God and humanity has been disrupted by the entrance of this culpable evil. And this present and universal state of affairs began with the disobedience of Adam. Since the first days of creation up to the time of Moses, God judicially condemns people in Adam who had violated a command directly given to him and whose first sin brought to the world spiritual and natural death. From his bad use of free choice, we are the children of wrath and the penalty of death was inflicted upon all in solidarity with him.

But the lavishness of grace that is found in Christ is greater than the effects of Adam’s fall. As our Mediator, Jesus’ definitive, righteous act reconciled God to man and acquit sinners before God, which sacramental elements and religious devotions cannot resolve. As our new representative Head, He has secured for us new birth, eternal life and a new path of obedience patterned after His humble conformity to God’s law, the suffering and death on the cross.

4. Common Grace and Total Inability

i. Every good and perfect gift to humanity comes down from the constant

benevolence of God. In spite of man’s evil propensities inherited in Adam, we still reflect our Creator’s admirable goodness and are able to perform acts of service to God and neighbor, though tampered by sin. For sin is the perversion of that which is right in God’s creation and disobedience to His commands makes it more offensive. It has affected the whole person, leaving no power in us to seek the Redeemer and initiate whatsoever is good for ourselves.

5. THE GOSPEL AND SALVATION BY GRACE ALONE

1. Christ’s Person and Work

The eternal Son became human through the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit,

conceived and born of the virgin Mary, with real body and real soul. He is one sinless person in two natures as fully God and fully man, inseparably joined together, as the perfect and sympathetic mediator of the Church, not only as Savior but also as Lord.

Christ’s universal supremacy encompasses over all humanity, angelic powers and demonic forces of darkness. He commands his followers to faithfully bring the Gospel in open proclamation and offer freely His exclusive sufficiency. Grounded upon the costly love of God in giving His Son, believers are being transformed by the light and truth of salvation found in the Good News, which cannot be adjusted or corrupted without reaping eternal ruin and dismembering the body of Christ.

This profound privilege of salvation creates great amazement among the

angels. Mighty, flaming spirits as they are who fill the heavenly courts, they serve as intermediaries between God and man, administrators of the Old covenant and protectors to the heirs of the New. But it is not to angels that God have subjected the world to come but to Jesus enunciated in His final and present Word.

This Gospel announces God’s saving power through Christ’s person and

work. It is news, in that it is a historical and reliable account based on eyewitness testimonies; it is good news that God have dealt with His own wrath against humanity; and it is the good news about Jesus, the long-expected Christ and the ultimate King who died violently and freely as a substitute, who stood condemned in our place. Since He is fully God and fully man, Christ’s death completely satisfies both justice and mercy, the Conqueror who triumphs over the devil and his cohorts. When this Gospel is pronounced in preaching and in teaching, salvation comes to the person who believes and receives it truly from the heart. This Good News is a matter of first importance, an essential saving truth for sinners, and the true treasure of the Church.

2. The New Covenant

God’s covenant-love with His people is most sure and unshakeable as His

unchanging perfections. When Scriptures speak of covenants according to His wise and eternal plan, God forever bounds Himself to His creation, to humanity, and to the people of Israel, until all these previous and inter-related covenants found its fulfillment in the New Covenant. It is a gracious act and a sovereign initiative of the Father to save a people for Himself. The sacrifices, the temple and the High Priest were necessary for the atonement of sins in the past. But these were not fulfilled in three different and separate institutions, rather in one and the same Person—in Christ. In this new covenant, the church is only made up of those who know the Lord, not a mixed people of believers and nonbelievers like Israel in the old covenant. This new community is empowered by the Holy Spirit, as recipients of inward change and transformed life.

The Old Testament writings are not contrary to the New Testament, nor the new covenant opposed to the old covenant. Though Christians are no longer bound by the demands of the Law of Moses and not subject to its sanctions, it continues to serve as a prophetic witness to the Gospel, as wisdom for living, for moral instructions, to display God’s righteousness, and to constitute humanity as sinners before the coming of Christ. But conversely, the continued observance of the temple, the sacrifice of animals, the mediation of human priests, the Ten Commandments, the practice of circumcision, and any other commands under the rubric of the old covenant are being made obsolete and fulfilled in Jesus. Yet the Old Testament Scriptures, under the authority of Christ’s New Covenant, are profitable and applicable today for our training in righteousness. As the principal agent of the priesthood has changed, in the person of Jesus, a change in the law and covenant follows. And since Christ-like love fulfills the laws of the old covenant, and is permanent unto eternity, what counts is keeping the commands of God and the law of Christ, to constantly forgive our neighbor as Christ forgave us and to set our affections exalted in love worthy of our Redeemer.

God has wisely set the Ten Commandments neither to justify nor sanctify humanity for its function is to show the exceeding sinfulness of our sins and our incapacity to please Him. Rather than this Law serving as an all-encompassing principle with regard to God’s commands, it is the breadth of love to God and to our neighbor instead that is breath-taking in its eternal quality. Thus, any person who approaches God through old covenant means or who obeys His commands apart from faith have trampled the Son of God underfoot and has detracted from His all-sufficiency.

The gathering of the church every Lord’s Day is an enjoyment and

anticipation of a full salvation that we have in Christ. God’s rest in creation, the Promised Land to Israel and the day of rest they observed on the seventh day, have all found their completion in Christ. He gives true rest to our weary souls when He resurrected from the dead and as we cease from our futile works in finding acceptance in God’s sight. And this unbending belief awaits the future Sabbath-rest in the new heavens and new earth. To enhance corporate worship, we exhort each other to have physical rest, to attend the gatherings of the church, and refrain from secular pursuits for these will wisely fix our faith on the overflowing display of God’s glory to the church. On this first day of the week, we commemorate the Lord’s victory over sin when the Gospel is faithfully expounded, the Sacraments properly dispensed and Discipline lovingly enforced.

The New Testament writers handle the Old Testament texts and events with

careful attention to its historical sequences in establishing and validating faith in Christ the Lord as the final means of God’s dealing with man. That we may not be fraught with teachings of demons, Christ handed down its preservation to the Church through the apostles’ ministry and office. And to perpetuate this faithful, biblical reading, He also ordained the office of eldership to preach the Word without diminishing the inviolable privilege of believers of their private study and access.

3. Union with Christ

i. In our union with Christ, believers identify with Christ’s suffering and death,

participate in His resurrection and glory, and are being incorporated into the joyful presence of God. Since Christ is the last Adam who obeyed God, the church is the new humanity. Just as Christ has a glorious, resurrected body, believers will be as He is—changed into immortality. As Christ is God’s righteousness, sinful men and women are acquitted in Him. As Christ is our High Priest and Sacrifice, the church is sanctified in Him and now servants of God. As Christ is

God’s one and only unique Son, the church is adopted as co-heirs with Him. As Christ is God’s chosen One, the church is the people God elected before creation. And as Christ received the Spirit without measure, the church is being filled with the Spirit as a guarantee of future redemption and more spiritual blessings.

4. Definite Redemption

i. Christ becoming the New Israel, all believers are God’s new assembly, the people of God for His particular love and care, and for whom Christ died. For there were no accounts of, and there will never be, a collaborative work between God and sinners in solving the deathly condition of sin and evil. The predestination of the Father, the sufferings of the Son, and rebirth in the Spirit are all inextricably link together that any attempt to untie its bond will soon cast doubt on God’s overall purposes. To ensure that God’s gifts and oaths are irrevocable, and His grace always a source of wonder, the Lord Jesus Christ took upon Himself the burden of guilt and curses, not of all humanity, nor of any specific race, but only of the Church, herself the pillar and ground of this truth.

5. Justification of Sinners

i. The Lord who will surely punish the guilty has postponed at the mean time His full anger upon the Old Testament people through various animal sacrifices and institutions. But when the time had fully come, Christ became the recipient of His wrath freeing those who put their trust in Him of all legal charges. In justification, God simultaneously acquits sinners of condemnation while satisfies His justice in Christ’s death, and sinners appropriate this blessing by faith. This verdict is neither earned through the works of the Law, by performance of religious duties, by faithfulness to God’s covenant, by membership to a church, nor of any transformation in the sinner, but only through the gracious declaration of God in counting sinners righteous in Christ and imputing Christ as sinner on our behalf.

6. Adoption into God’s Family

i. Jesus is God’s unique Son before creation and our union with Him crowns us with the honor that is due as sons of God and heirs of the promise. Men and women, alienated from God but who have come to faith in Christ, gain sonship by means of God’s gracious adoption. Because of this legal status, we are drawn to the church, the household of God with our brothers and sisters in this life unto eternity. Accepted into God’s family, believers can now confidently address God as heavenly Father without fear of wrath or denial, to experience discipline and sufferings under our Father’s providence, until we reach salvation, the glorious appearing of the children of God.

7. Faith and Perseverance

A genuine Christian is a person who firmly continues in the Gospel until the

end.12 The faith he exercises is a gift of God, a sinner’s proper response to God’s grace in Christ, and though it varies in degrees and intensities, yet it is still true faith if Christ our Lord is its object. The saving message that justifies is also the word of God that sanctifies to all followers of Christ whom God has chosen from eternity. We are already saved, are being saved and will be saved through Him who works in us. As pilgrims longing for a better and heavenly country, we receive and accept warnings from Scriptures with fear and trembling for without consecration no one will see the Lord.

The perseverance of the saints involves battle, difficulty and struggle in this present life but it also includes gladness for this privilege received. A child of God is not forced to continue in the faith, but he or she likes it and persists through adversity in the way of weakness but strengthened by grace. Though believers are not yet what they ought to be and what they hoped for, they are no longer what they once were—as slaves to sin. Despite the war waged by the Devil on the Church and the persecutions brought by this world, our sanctification in Christ has irrevocably made us saints by calling through Him who loves us and washed us from sins.

6. THE CHURCH

1. The Church

The Church is God’s assembly which consists of all the redeemed in Christ from

every nation, race and culture for the glory of God. She is the Spirit’s templegarden, the object of God’s electing love, the pure bride of Christ purchased through His self-sacrificial grace. Each local church is a manifestation of the universal church, and of the coming heavenly Jerusalem, awaiting God’s vindication and future blessings. And each local church has an autonomous interdependence with churches who holds to the same message of faith that we may not be shaken with every innovative doctrine that comes from man’s deceit.

Since she is the body of Christ under His authority, the pillar and ground of the truth, to the Church is given the power of the keys of heaven to bind and loose, to receive into her membership believers of Christ, and to excommunicate those who have turned away from the Gospel and its accompanying holy life13.

The one, holy, catholic and apostolic church has ever been and will be God’s redeemed community here on earth in unity with her Lord in one faith and one baptism. She is cleansed and protected by the pure teachings of Christ through the ministry of pastors, bishops, and elders, which is of one office. Their official validity is grounded, not by a direct succession of office from the apostles or through a direct link from an early church, but upon the Holy Spirit’s calling, equipping and sending of men for the faithful preaching of His word with a congregational consent.

The Church shall make no law on matters to which Scriptures neither directly speak nor expressly command but that the faithful is bound to God alone revealed in His written word, who is Lord of the conscience and of understanding. Wise leaders of the Church will be cautious about overbearing the people with burdensome restrictions and with prohibitions that cannot be observed, be it by necessary consequence deduced from Scriptures, by good traditions of men, by new revelations of the Spirit or by this Confession in writing.

2. The Two Sacraments

The Lord has instituted only two sacraments, that of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. They are to proclaim Christ’s saving benefits in tangible means and to confirm the faith of all of God’s elect. We place neither confidence nor adoration on the water, bread and wine, seeing that the sacraments separated by faith in Christ are but empty shows and have no power to provide grace to the repentant.

Baptism for believers alone is a sacred picture of conversion in the name of the Holy Trinity, a sacrament of entrance into the universal and local Church. Through the symbolic ordinance of immersion, God has transferred us from the realm of Adam, sin, and death to the realm of Christ, life and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper is a sacred thanksgiving of the new covenant we have in Christ celebrated by all professed believers. Pointing back to His death, the public administration on the bread and wine does not change their essence in any way but retain its function as signs and seals of God’s spiritual feeding. By these tangible elements, Christ regularly reminds His disciples of their forgiven status, of our continuing repentance, and the assurance of His unchanging love until He comes again to welcome us at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

3. The Gifts of the Spirit

According to His will, our triune God pours out His charismatic gifts to each

believer for the spiritual construction of the church. Like a body with many parts, the church and her members function together as one with their various gifts that are of equal dignity. Motivated by a love that supports, believes and endures, Christians today can employ their temporary charismatic gifts in an orderly way until we see our Savior face to face.

Recognizing the growing problems of false prophecies and prophets since

the early church, we affirmed Scripture’s uncontested guideline for church structure and government: that an orderly church is led only by qualified pastors and deacons, and not by men or women whose gifts of prophecy, tongues and healing today are independent, equal, or superior from the Scriptures or from these two offices, even if the church is benefiting spiritually and physically from their gifts.

All the material health and wealth in this world are not absolute signs or spiritual indicators of God’s love to man, nor are they given to measure the efficacy of an evangelistic work. These blessings are instruments to help the needy out of their temporal suffering, and through missions, help spread the treasures of God’s mercy out of our eternal peril. That Christ died while we were yet enemies is the most decisive proof of God’s love, poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who grieves in all kinds of envy. As God supplies all our needs according to His grace, the Spirit teaches us to ask for neither poverty nor riches, to be content whatever the circumstances may be and to look for the interests of others, for knowing Christ Jesus and having a glorious body are of more surpassing worth than what this present life affords.

7. GLORIFICATION & RESTORATION

1. The Terrors of Hell

Though the soul will perpetuate its incorporeal existence after death, in the sufferings of hell or in the blessedness of heaven, a final judgment of God awaits humanity with his body resurrected in union with his soul.

The Lord who has the power to raise a body from the dead also has the authority to cast man to everlasting suffering, an endless, conscious torment on both body and soul, which the unbelieving deserves as a just recompense, while removing all opportunities of ever hearing the Gospel and be saved. Lest we overthrow God’s truth that the ultimate punishment of hell is only a temporary state, an unloving and irrational doctrine, we affirm God’s sovereign prerogative to Judge any unrepentant wicked by subjecting him to an eternal punishment in the terrors of hell.

The banishing of the fallen angels from heaven and the destruction of Jerusalem in the early church are but foretastes of God’s fierce anger against all things impure and defiled. For the sin that originated in Adam is evident beyond contest in its full effects during wars, famine and apostasy from the faith. True to his character of impartiality, the Lord will judge each person according to the deeds done in his body, whether good or evil, including the secret recesses of his heart. Humanity shall give an account to God whom they most offended, and any man or woman whose name is not written in the book of life is thrown finally into the lake of hell-fire.

2. The New Heavens & New Earth

i. We affirm that believers ought to be ready to give an answer to those who ask about the hope that is in them—this same hope anchored fully on the grace of Christ’s final coming. But while waiting for that eternal City, they live as aliens and strangers in this world journeying to the City which is to come, to suffer according to God’s will for doing good and not for evil because Christ died for sins once and for all, the just for the unjust that He might bring us to the new heavens and new earth, the home of righteousness.
