  2. Gospel Church’s beliefs, and accept the Apostles' creed as the criteria of our belief：

  • We believe in Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

  • We believe in the Holy Spirit, one person in the Trinity, With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

  • We believe in the Holy, Apostolic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
