1. THE CREED Foreword The World Korean Presbyterian Church adopts the following twelve articles as its Confession of Faith to be subscribed by ministers, elders, deacons and all members. This is a summary of the teachings of the Scripture and also the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms that are worthy exponents of the Word of God. Therefore, the following should be taught in our local churches and the seminaries. The Twelve Articles Article 1 The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and duty. Article 2 There is but one God and He alone is to be worshiped. He is a Spirit, self-existent, omnipresent, yet distinct from all other spirits and from material things; infinite, eternal and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth and love. Article 3 In the Godhead, there are three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. Article 4 All things visible and invisible were created by God by the word of His power, and are preserved and governed by Him so that, while He is in no way the author of sin, He works all things according to the counsel of His will, and they serve the fulfillment of His wise, good, and holy purpose. Article 5 God created man, male and female, after His own image, in knowledge, impartiality and holiness, with dominion over the creatures. All men have the same origin and are brethren. Article 6 Our first parents, being free to choose between good and evil, and being tempted, sinned against God; and all mankind, descending by ordinary generation from Adam, the head of the race, sinned in him, and fell with him. To their original guilt and corruption, those capable of so doing have added actual transgressions. All justly deserve His wrath and punishment in this present life and in that which is to come. Article 7 To save men from the guilt, corruptions and penalty of sin, and to give them eternal life, God, in His infinite love, sent into the world His eternal and only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom alone God has become incarnate , and through whom alone men can be saved. The eternal Son became true man, and was and continues to be true God and true man, in two distinct natures, and one person forever. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, yet without sin. For sinful men, He perfectly obeyed the law of God, and offered Himself a true and perfect sacrifice to satisfy Divine justice and reconcile men to God. He died on the cross, was buried and rose again from the dead on the third day. He ascended to the right hand of God, where He makes intercession for His people, and whence He shall come again to raise the dead, and to judge the world. Article 8 The Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, makes men partakers of salvation, convincing them of their sin and misery and enlightening their minds in the knowledge of Christ, renewing their wills, persuading and enabling them to embrace Jesus Christ freely offered them in the Gospel, and working in them all the fruits of impartiality. Article 9 While God chose the people in Christ before the foundation of the world, that they should be holy and without blemish before Him in love, having foreordained them unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on them in the beloved; He makes a full and free offer of salvation to all men, and commands them to repent of their sins, to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, and to live a humble, holy life after His example, and in obedience to God's revealed will. Those who believe in Christ and obey Him are saved, the chief benefits being that they receive justification, adoption into the number of the sons of God, sanctification through the indwelling of the Spirit and eternal glory. Believers may also in this life enjoy assurance of their salvation. In His gracious work, the Holy Spirit uses the means of grace, especially the Word, the sacraments and prayer. Article 10 The sacraments instituted by Christ are Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism is the washing with water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and is the sign and seal of our union to Christ, of regeneration, and of the renewing of the Holy Spirit, and our engagement to be the Lord's. It is administered to those who profess their faith in Christ and to their children. The Lord's Supper is the partaking of the bread and of the cup as a memorial of Christ's death, and is a sign and seal of the benefits thereof to believers. It is to be observed by His people till He comes in token of their faith in Him and His sacrifice, of their appropriation of its benefits, and of their future engagement to serve Him, of their communion with Him and with one another. The benefits of the Sacraments are not from any virtue in them or in him who administers them, but only from the blessing of Christ and the working of His Spirit in them that by faith receive them. Article 11 It is the duty of all believers to unite in Church fellowship, to observe the sacraments and other ordinances of Christ, to obey His laws, to continue in prayer, to keep holy the Lord's Day, to meet together for His worship, to wait upon the preaching of His word, to give as God may prosper them, to manifest a Christ-like spirit among themselves and toward all men, to labor for the extension of Christ's kingdom throughout the world, and to wait for His glorious appearing. Article 12 At the last day, the dead shall be raised, and all shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and shall receive according to the deeds done in the present life, whether good or bad. Those who have believed in Christ and obeyed Him, shall be openly acquitted and received into glory; but the unbelieving and wicked, being condemned, shall suffer the punishment due to their sins. Form of Acceptance I receive and adopt the Confession of Faith of this Church as based upon and in accord with the Word of God; and I declare it to be the Confession of my faith.

Part 1 Twelve Creeds Seo frozen The World Presbyterian Church of Jesus Christ makes the twelve articles listed below as the creed that pastors, elders, deacons, and all members of the congregation will approve of. This is the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Bible Book, recognized as the Bible and its clear interpretation of the Bible. This is a summary of the questions and answers. Therefore, it should be taught in our churches and seminaries. group 1 God, The Old Testament is the Word of God and is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. Article 2 There is only one God, and only Him is to be worshiped. God is God and He exists naturally, There is no place where you are not. set apart from other gods and all matter, His existence, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, kindness, truth, and love are infinite and unchanging. Article 3 There are three persons in God, the Father, saint, The Holy Spirit, these three persons are one God. There is one body, and power and glory are equal. Article 4 God created, preserved, and claimed all tangible and intangible things by the word of His power, but He never sinned. He does everything according to the plan of his will, and all things work to accomplish God's good, wise, and holy purpose. Article 5 God created man male and female, in his own image, in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, so that he had dominion over every living thing. Article 6 Our first parents had the freedom to choose between good and evil, but they were tempted and sinned against God. Therefore, all races born of Adam by the common law have fallen in him by sharing in his transgression. In addition to the original sin and corrupt disposition, there is the possibility of a person committing a crime, so there are also sins that are intentionally committed. Therefore, all deserve God's just wrath and punishment, now and in the life to come. Article 7 In infinite love, God sent his eternal and only-begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world to save mankind from sin, corruption, and the penalty of sin and to give him eternal life. Only through Jesus did God become flesh, and only through Jesus can man be saved. The eternal Son became a true man, and from then on, he has two special qualities in one person, and he is eternally true God and true man. Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, yet without sin. Jesus died on the cross to completely obey God's law on behalf of sinners and to offer his body as a true and perfect sacrifice to satisfy God's justice and to reconcile people to God. And after being resurrected from the dead on the third day, he ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. There he prays for his people, then raises the dead and returns to judge the world. Article 8 The Holy Spirit, who has come from the Father and the Son, works to make people share in salvation. That is, he convicts men of sin and misery, enlightens their hearts to know Christ, renews their wills, exhorts and empowers them, He allows you to receive Jesus Christ, whom you gave freely in the gospel. And it works in him to bring forth the fruit of all righteousness. Article 9 Before God created the world, God chose His people in Christ to be holy and blameless before Him because of love. And he predestined them according to his good pleasure and made them his sons through Jesus Christ. This is so that they may glorify the glory of the grace which is abundantly bestowed upon them in the Beloved Son. God has commanded this to freely give complete salvation to everyone in the world. "Repent of your sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, trust in your example, submit to the revealed will of God, and walk in humility and holiness". Therefore, those who believe and obey Christ will be saved. The special benefit we receive is righteousness, Adoption and participation in the number of the sons of God, sanctification by the influence of the Holy Spirit, Eternal glory. Therefore, those who believe will know with certainty that they will be saved even in this world and will rejoice. When the Holy Spirit does this kind of work, the means of giving grace are the words of the Bible, the sacraments, and prayers. Article 10 The sacraments instituted by Christ are baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism is washing with water in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, which marks and seals our union with Christ. It is a promise to be born again and renewed by the Holy Spirit and to belong to the Lord. Baptism is given to those who profess their faith in Christ and to their children. The Lord's Supper is a sharing of bread and cup in commemoration of Christ's death, and it is a sign that seals and testifies that the believer receives the benefits that come from his death. The Lord's Supper will be served by the Lord's people until the Lord comes, It is a sign of trusting in the Lord and relying on the Atonement, receiving the benefits from it, making a covenant to serve the Lord more, and the Lord and his people communicating with each other. The benefit of the sacraments is not through the sacraments themselves, nor through the virtues of those who administer them, but only through the blessing of Christ and the working of the Holy Spirit in those who receive them by faith. Article 11 The duty of all believers is to enter the church, to fellowship with each other, to keep the sacraments of Christ and other ordinances, and to obey the laws of the Lord. And we must listen carefully to the preaching of the word of the Lord as we gather together to pray always, keep the Lord's Day holy, and worship the Lord. Also, as God has given us abundantly, we offer gifts and fellowship with one another in the heart of Christ, be of the same mind with everyone, and seeks to extend the kingdom of Christ throughout the world, We will wait for the Lord to appear in His glory. Article 12 The dead will be resurrected at the last day, and they will receive retribution according to their deeds in this world, whether good or evil, before the judgment seat of Christ. Those who believe and obey Christ will receive remarkably remission and receive glory. But those who do not believe and do evil will be condemned and punished according to their sins. letter of approval I believe that this creed is based on the Word of God and is consistent with the Word of God, and I also accept it as my personal creed.
