前言:
近日,网络对耶青之流言蜚语不断,恶意中伤者也有之,此系撒旦狡诈作为,欲迷惑我亲爱的弟兄姐妹,欲孤立耶青,给耶青贴上“非基督肢体”的标签。
当此大敌,我辈基督徒有必要团结起来,警醒祷告,睁开眼睛,为耶青祷告,求主为耶青伸冤,并破碎撒旦的一切奸计。
然而,耶青乃堂堂神的教会,系耶稣基督宝血买赎,岂小鬼之辈能诬陷哉?今公布信仰告白,以破撒旦奸计,也恳请弟兄姐妹为了耶青的清誉祷告!

1. We believe that the Bible, consisting of Old and New Testaments only, is verbally inspired
by the Holy Spirit,is inerrant in the original manuscripts, and is the infallible and
authoritative words from the Lord.

Holy Spirit.

in His miracles,in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood,in His bodily
resurrection,in His ascension to the right hand of the Father,and in His personal return
in power and glory.

is absolutely essential.

now makes intercession in heaven and for whom He will come again.
