What It Means to Be a Christian Being a Christian is more than identifying yourself with a particular religion or affirming a certain value system. Being a Christian means you have embraced what the Bible says about God, mankind, and salvation. Consider the following truths found in the Bible. God Is Sovereign Creator Contemporary thinking says man is the product of evolution. But the Bible says we were created by a personal God to love, serve, and enjoy endless fellowship with Him. The New Testament reveals it was Jesus Himself who created everything (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16). Therefore, He also owns and rules everything (Psalm 103:19). That means He has authority over our lives and we owe Him absolute allegiance, obedience, and worship. God Is Holy God is absolutely and perfectly holy (Isaiah 6:3); therefore He cannot commit or approve of evil (James 1:13). God requires holiness of us as well. First Peter 1:16 says, You shall be holy, for I am holy. Mankind Is Sinful According to Scripture, everyone is guilty of sin: There is no man who does not sin (1 Kings 8:46). That doesn’t mean we’re incapable of performing acts of human kindness. But we’re utterly incapable of understanding, loving, or pleasing God on our own (Romans 3:10-12). Sin Demands a Penalty God’s holiness and justice demand that all sin be punished by death (Ezekiel 18:4). That’s why simply changing our patterns of behavior can’t solve our sin problem or eliminate its consequences. Jesus Is Lord and Savior Romans 10:9 says, If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. Even though God’s justice demands death for sin, His love has provided a Savior who paid the penalty and died for sinners (1 Peter 3:18). Christ’s death satisfied the demands of God’s justice, and Christ’s perfect life satisfied the demands of God’s holiness (2 Corinthians 5:21), thereby enabling Him to forgive and save those who place their faith in Him (Romans 3:26). The Character of Saving Faith True faith is always accompanied by repentance from sin. Repentance is agreeing with God that you are sinful, confessing your sins to Him, and making a conscious choice to turn from sin (Luke 13:3, 5; 1 Thessalonians 1:9), pursue Christ (Matthew 11: 28-30; John 17:3), and obey Him (1 John 2:3). It isn’t enough to believe certain facts about Christ. Even Satan and his demons believe in the true God (James 2:19), but they don’t love and obey Him. True saving faith always responds in obedience (Ephesians 2:10).   Copyright, 2016 Grace Community Church. All Rights Reserved. Used by permission.

SEE WHAT WE BELIEVE MEET OUR LEADERS History Founded in 1964 by Pastor Sen Wong as a church plant of Chinese Bible Mission, San Francisco Bible Church finds its roots in a legacy of strong Biblical teaching. Beginning with services at Hamilton Square Baptist Church, the first Sunday School class comprised of seven high school girls. Over the years, SFBC has been blessed by a number of pastors who faithfully taught God’s word to our growing community of believers. Our senior pastor, Henry Tam, started his ministry at SFBC in 1999. John 1 teaches that Jesus Christ is the Word that brings eternal and abundant life. Our mission and motto is to glorify God by “Holding Fast the Word of Life”. This we do in obedience to Christ’s command to make disciples of all the nations.

The Bible We believe the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament to be the verbal plenary inspired word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed. The only proper interpretation of Scripture is through the literal, historical, grammatical method. II Tim 3:16, 17; II Pet 1:20, 21; Mt 5:18; Jn 16:12, 13. II. The Godhead We believe God is spirit and is sovereign, by which there cannot exist another sovereign being, working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous decree. Ps 115:3; Eph 1:11; Jn 4:24; Is 45:5, 6, 21; Rom 8:31; Mal 3:6. We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory and having the same essence, attributes, and perfections. Deut 6:4; II Cor 13:14. We believe God created, made out of nothing, the heavens and the earth and all things therein, and this for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness. Heb 1:2; Gen 1; Jn 1:2-3; Col 1:16; Rom 1:20; Heb 11:3. III. The Person and Work of Christ We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, became man, without ceasing to be God, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. Jn 1:1, 2, 14; Lk 1:35; Mt 20:28; Jn 1:18; Heb 1:3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice of atonement; and was raised physically from the dead because of our justification. Rom 3:24-26; I Pet 2:24; Eph 1:7; I Pet 1:3-5; Rom 4:25; Heb 9:12. IV. The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. Jn 16:8-11; II Cor 3:6; I Cor 12:12-14; Rom 8:9; Eph 1:13, 14; Titus 3:5. We believe that He is the divine teacher who guides believers into all truths. Jn 16:13; I Jn 2:20, 27; I Cor 2:14. We believe that it is the privilege and responsibility of every believer to be filled with the Spirit. Eph 5:18; Gal 5:16, 25; Rom 8:4. V. The Total Depravity of Man We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the whole human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and thus man is totally depraved, and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. Gen 1:26, 27; Rom 3:9-12,22, 23; Rom 5:12; Rom 8:7; Eph 2:1-3, 12. VI. Salvation We believe that salvation is the gift of God extended to man by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on the cross to the satisfaction of God’s righteousness for the forgiveness of our sins. Eph 2:8- 10; Jn 1:12; Eph 1:7; I Pet 1:18, 19; Rom 3:25, 26; I Jn 2:2. VII. The Eternal Security and Assurance of Believers We believe that all believers, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. They can not lose their salvation. Jn 6:37-40; Jn 10:27- 30; Rom 8:1, 38, 39; I Cor 1:4-8; I Pet 1:5. We believe that the testimony of God’s Word clearly forbids the use of our security as a license for sin. Titus 2:11-15; Rom 6; Rom 13:13, 14. We believe that God is in the process of conforming all believers into the image of Christ and this transformation is evidence of the believer’s salvation. The assurance of a believer’s salvation comes from the fruit of obedience to the Lord. Rom 8:29; II Cor 3:18; Mt 7:15-27; Jn 15:8; Jam 2:14-26; 1 Jn 2:3-6. VIII. The New Nature of the Believer We believe that every believer is a new creation in Christ, with provision made for certain victory of the new man over the old man through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit; and that all claims of complete eradication of the sinful nature in this life are unscriptural. Rom 6:13; 8:12-13; 2 Cor 5:17; Gal 5:16-25; Eph 4:22-24; Col 3:9-10; I Pet 1:14-16; I Jn 3:5-9. IX. Separation We believe that all believers are set apart from sin to God and thus called saints (holy ones). Christians are to live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord. God commands believers to separate from all religious apostasy of doctrines or practices; all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices and associations. I Cor 5:9-13; II Cor 6:14-7:1; II Tim 3:1-5; Rom 12:1- 2; 14:13; I Tim 3:7; I Jn 2:15-17; II Jn 9-11. X. Missions & Evangelism We believe that Christ has commissioned all believers to witness by life and by word the gospel to all mankind. Mt 28:18-20; Mk 16:15; Acts 1:8; II Cor 5:19, 20. XI. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit has sovereignly given to every individual believer a unique gift[s] for the purpose of building up the church. We believe that there are two types of spiritual gifts: permanent and temporary. Permanent gifts continue throughout the church age. Temporary gifts such as speaking in tongues and the working of sign miracles gradually ceased as the New Testament Scriptures were completed and their authority became established. 1 Cor 12:4-11; 13:8-10, 2 Cor 12:12, Eph 4:7-12, Heb 2:3-4. XII. The Church We believe that the Church which is made up of all born-again persons of this present age is a group of people called out of the world by God and placed into the body of Christ as His espoused bride. Eph 1:22, 23; 5:25-26; I Cor 12:12-14; II Cor 11:2; I Pet 2:9-10. We believe that God establishes and continues local churches devoted to teaching the Word of God. Acts 14:27; 20:17, 28-32; I Tim 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11. We believe local churches exist to bring every believer to maturity in Christ so as to reflect the glory of Christ, that God may be glorified. Jn 17; Eph 4; Col 1:28. We believe that every believer is to exhort and provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. Heb 10:24, 25. XIII. Church Ordinances We believe that the mode of baptism is immersion in water; a portrait of our association with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Savior. Mt 28:19; Rom 6:3-5. We believe that the Lord’s Supper (Communion) is the commemoration of His Death until He comes. I Cor 11:23-32. XIV. Dispensationalism We believe in the dispensational approach to interpreting the Scriptures, specifically that ethnic Israel and the church remain distinct. Man’s sin, and God’s remedy for it, have been progressively revealed in several dispensations; and yet, the Scriptures present one unified plan of salvation from sin. We recognize and teach the covenants as well, along with their significance in the revealed plan of God to save by grace a people for Himself. Mt 28:19, 20; Acts 2:41, 42; 18:8; I Cor 11:23-26. XV. Satan We believe that Satan is a personal being created holy; who rebelled against God and introduced sin into the human race by his temptation of Adam & Eve. He is the declared enemy of God, the accuser of the believers, the one blinding men to the truth of God, and leading them into sin. He is the god of this age and the prince of this world. He shall be eternally punished in the Lake of Fire.

Giving to the Lord’s work is an act of worship for the followers of Christ. In response to God’s love for us in His Son, we love Him in return. Part of that love involves furthering His kingdom work through the offering of our lives and our possessions. We worship the Lord when we offer our lives as a holy and living sacrifice, leading to a life of faithful service to Him. When we give financially, we glorify God, as we give purposefully, voluntarily, and cheerfully. We give not in order to receive, but we give because we have received God’s abundant grace. Thank you for your generous support of this work of the Lord, both through your faithful service and your financial support.
