Our only rule of faith and practice!

(唐·福特纳)

我们信仰和实践的唯一准则是上帝的话语。我们没有…
no creed to defend,
没有要捍卫的信条，
no denomination to maintain, and

no confession to bind our minds.
没有要束缚我们思想的信条。
“What do the Scriptures teach?” That is and must be our only concern. If the plain teachings of Holy Scripture appear to destroy or contradict our understanding of any doctrine – then let us relinquish the doctrine, or acknowledge the fact that our minds are both depraved and minuscule – and bow to the revelation of God.
“圣经教导了什么？”这是且必须是我们唯一关心的。如果圣经的明确教导似乎与我们对任何教义的理解相抵触或矛盾 – 那么让我们放弃该教义，或承认我们的头脑既堕落又渺小 – 并向上帝的启示俯首。
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
“圣经都是上帝所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，叫属上帝的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。”提摩太后书3:16-17
