浸信會 Baptist
浸信會是一群具有信心的會友 ，信仰根基於我們的主是自有永有的耶穌基督。舊約和新約聖經是我們信仰始終的權威。浸信會遵守兩項禮儀：浸禮和主餐 (聖餐)。遵守這些禮儀公開代表我們順服和效法主耶穌基督的教導和榜樣。雖然受水禮並不代表救恩，但它象徵著我們的舊我已死亡，以往罪惡的生活已被埋葬，如今重生在基督裡，擁有新生命。主餐提醒我們耶穌與門徒共享的最後晚餐，也讓我們紀念基督在十字架上破碎的身體和所流的血如何為我們死，赦免了我們的罪。
Baptists are people who profess a living faith. Our faith is rooted in Jesus Christ who is “the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” The sole authority for faith and practice is the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. As Baptists, we observe two ordinances: water baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper (also known as Communion). These ordinances are public expressions of our obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Water baptism, while not essential to salvation, is a symbolic expression of our death, the burial of the old sinful life, and a rebirth to a new life in Christ. The Lord’s Supper, reminiscent of Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, is a reminder of Christ’s broken body on the cross and the blood he shed for the remission of our sins.

Hyde Park Chinese Baptist Church believes that:
- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons, God-the Father, God-the Son, and God-the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the Virgin Birth and the Deity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who is also Son of Man, with two distinct natures in one Person forever.
- We believe that the sixty-six books of Holy Scripture as originally given are in their entirety the word of God verbally inspired and wholly without error in all that they declare and, therefore, are the supreme and final authority of faith and life.
- We believe the vicarious substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross made atonement for the sin of the world, efficient for all who repent and believe.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ which ensures the resurrection of all believers who have received God's gift of eternal life.
- We believe also in a resurrection of judgment in regard to unbelievers who reject the gospel.
- We believe in the imminent, visible, and bodily return of Christ to this earth to set up His kingdom and to judge the world in righteousness.
- We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, that he fell into sin through the first Adam, and that he is responsible for all sin committed by birth and by choice. Sin causes him to be separated from God and lost eternally.
- We believe that salvation from everlasting punishment and entrance into a state of fellowship with God are secured only by grace and through a personal belief that Christ bore our sins in His own body on the cross and by a definite receiving of Christ, through the Person of the Holy Spirit, into one's inner being. This is to receive eternal life and to be sealed unto the Day of Redemption.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit thus indwells all who receive Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is responsible for the quickening from death into life and for the continuing of the work of sanctification in the believer.
- We believe that the church is the body of Christ, a spiritual organism of born-again believers who are called to be identified with Christ in baptism and to remember His death in the Lord's Supper.
- We believe that Christians are called to witness for Christ, to preach the gospel to all nations, and to study the Bible personally through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit until each one is matured into the preordained purpose of God for him.
