答：上帝创造了属乎灵性（诗104:4）、永存不朽（太22:30）、分别为圣（太25:31）、知识卓越（撒下14:17；太24:36）、大有权能（帖后1:7）的众天使（西1:16），让他们可以或执行上帝的命令、赞美上帝的圣名（诗103:20-21），或变节叛逆（彼后2:4）。
Answer: God created all the angels spirits, immortal, holy, excelling in knowledge, mighty in power, to execute his commandments, and to praise his name, yet subject to change.
答：上帝的造化之工，就是上帝于起初，为了祂自己，藉祂权能的话语，于六日之内，从无有之中创造了甚为美好之世界及其中之万有（创1；来11:3；箴16:4）。
Answer: The work of creation is that wherein God did in the beginning, by the word of his power, make of nothing the world, and all things therein, for himself, within the space of six days, and all very good.
答：上帝的定旨乃上帝为了自己的荣耀，从太初就按其不变之预旨所设定出于其智慧、自由、圣洁之谋略的运作（弗1:11；罗11:33；9:14-15，18），使万有一切都成就在历史中（弗1:4，11；罗9:22－23；诗33:11），尤其关乎天使和人类的事。
Answer: God’s decrees are the wise, free, and holy acts of the counsel of his will, whereby, from all eternity, he has, for his own glory, unchangeably foreordained: Whatsoever comes to pass in time, especially concerning angels and men.
答：上帝出于祂的圣爱，也为了使祂荣耀的恩典至终可以得着称赞，乃根据祂永恒不变的定旨，拣选部份天使得着荣耀（提前5:21）；也拣选部份人藉所设定的途径得着永生（弗1:4-6；帖后2:13-14）；并按祂主权的能力以及祂旨意无可测度之谋略，或施恩或不施恩，预定其他各人因所犯之罪蒙羞辱、受天谴，使祂公义的荣耀得着称赞（罗9:17-18，21-22；太11:25-26；提后2:20；犹4；彼前2:8）。
Answer: God, by an eternal and immutable decree, out of his mere love, for the praise of his glorious grace, to be manifested in due time, has elected some angels to glory; and in Christ has chosen some men to eternal life, and the means thereof: and also, according to his sovereign power, and the unsearchable counsel of his own will (whereby he extends or withholds favor as he pleases), has passed by and foreordained the rest to dishonor and wrath, to be for their sin inflicted, to the praise of the glory of his justice.
答：上帝按照祂无误之预知，以及祂心里绝对自由、绝对不变之谋略，藉其造化与护理之工，施行祂的定旨（弗1:11）。

答：在亘古之前，圣父衍生圣子（来1:5－6，8），圣子生于圣父（约1:14，18），圣灵则出于圣父及圣子（约15:26；加4:6）。
Answer: It is proper to the Father to beget the Son, and to the Son to be begotten of the Father, and to the Holy Ghost to proceed from the Father and the Son from all eternity.
答：圣经既把专属于上帝的称谓（赛6:3，5，8；比较约12:41；徒28:25；约壹5:20；徒5:3－4）、属性（约1:1；赛9:6；约2:24－25；林前2:10－11）、作为（西1:16；创1:2）和敬拜（太28:19；林后13:14），也用于圣子和圣灵身上，说明圣子和圣灵也都是与圣父同等的上帝。
Answer: The Scriptures manifest that the Son and the Holy Ghost are God equal with the Father, ascribing unto them such names, attributes, works, and worship, as are proper to God only.
答：不，只有一位上帝，就是独一无二、又真又活的上帝（申6:4；林前8:4，6；耶10:10）。

答：圣经主要的教导是让人知道，人对上帝所当信的是什么，以及上帝对人所要求的是什么（提后1:13）。
Answer: The Scriptures principally teach: What man is to believe concerning God, and: What duty God requires of man.
答：上帝的圣言就是新旧约圣经（提后3:16；彼后1:19－21），是人信道行道的惟一准则（弗2:20；启22:18，19；赛8:20；路16:29，31；加1:8-9；提后3:15，16）。
Answer: The holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience.
答：圣经，藉其本身庄严的权威性（何8:12；林前2:6-7，13；诗119:18，129）与和纯正性（诗12:6；诗119:140）；藉其各部全指向上帝之荣耀的一致性（徒10:43；26:22）和整全性（罗3:19，27）；藉其使罪人得以知罪醒转，使信者得以蒙安慰、被建立，以致得救（徒18:28；来4:12；雅1:18；诗19:7－9；罗15:4；徒20:32）的亮光和能力，自显自证为上帝的圣言。但唯独上帝的圣灵能藉着、能运用圣经在人心里做见证，使人确信圣经正是上帝的圣言（约16:13-14；约壹2:20，27；约20:31）。
Answer: The Scriptures manifest themselves to be the Word of God, by their majesty and purity; by the consent of all the parts, and the scope of the whole, which is to give all glory to God; by their light and power to convince and convert sinners, to comfort and build up believers unto salvation: but the Spirit of God bearing witness by and with the Scriptures in the heart of man, is alone able fully to persuade it that they are the very Word of God.
答：人心中与生俱来的属灵之光，以及大自然所示上帝的作为，都清楚昭告上帝存在的事实（罗1:19-20；诗19:1-3；徒17:28）；但惟独上帝的圣言和圣灵能充分有效地将上帝自己启示出来，使人得救（林前2:9-10；提后3:15-17；赛59:21）。
Answer: The very light of nature in man, and the works of God, declare plainly that there is a God; but his Word and Spirit only do sufficiently and effectually reveal him unto men for their salvation.
答：人生最重要、最崇高的目的就是荣耀上帝（罗11:36；林前10:31），并尽享上帝同在之乐，直到永远（诗73:24-28；约17:21-23）。
