1) Q. Hank Hanegraaff is popular in Christian circles. What qualifies him to testify for the local churches?
A. As president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man radio broadcast, Hank has personally been asked to weigh in on the controversies surrounding the local churches and their publishing and distribution arm Living Stream Ministry.
问：汉克•汉尼葛夫在基督徒中间很知名。什么使他够资格来为地方教会作见证？
答：身为基督教研究院院长并“圣经解答者”广播节目主持人，汉克也被要求提出他对地方教会及其出版发行机构水流职事站的看法。
2) Q. Since Hank was asked to weigh in about the local churches and LSM, what did he do first?
A. Hank initiated a primary research project that included interaction with their publications as well as interaction with programs and people associated with their churches and Living Stream Ministry.
问：当汉克被要求提出他对地方教会及水流职事站的看法时，他先是怎么作的？
答：汉克展开了一项主要的研究计划，其中包括对其出版刊物的研究，以及与教会和水流职事站相关项目和人员的交流。
3) Q. The primary research that Hank initiated is it still ongoing or did it stop?
A. While this primary research is still ongoing, the following statements are beyond dispute.
问：汉克展开的主要研究是还在进行中呢，还是已经停止了?
答：研究虽尚在进行，但以下结论已确信无疑。
4) Q. The local churches have been accused of being a cult. Did Hank find this to be true?
A. First, the local churches are not a cult from a theological perspective. In this sense, a cult may be defined as a pseudo-Christian organization that claims to be Christian but compromises, confuses, and contradicts essential Christian doctrine.
问：地方教会被指控为“邪教”。汉克发现这是真的吗？
答：首先，从神学观点来看，地方教会不是邪教。在这层意义上，邪教可定义为一个自称是基督教，却损害、混淆、违背基本基督教教义的伪基督教组织。
5) Q. During Hank’s research, were there any issues that he found?
A. While Hank personally has profound differences with the movement when it comes to secondary issues, such as the timing of the tribulation or the meaning of the millennium, he stands shoulder to shoulder with the local churches when it comes to the essentials that define biblical orthodoxy.
问：在汉克的研究中，他发现了什么问题吗？
答：虽然汉克个人在次要问题（如大灾难的时间和千年国的意义）上，仍与此运动保持完全不同的看法，但在界定圣经正统信仰的基要项目上，他与地方教会是站在一起的。
6) Q. When Hank interacted with members of the local churches, what did he see?
A. It is significant to note that in interacting with members of the local churches over a protracted period of time, Hank witnessed in them a keen interest in doctrinal precision sadly missing today in major segments of the evangelical community.
问：当汉克与地方教会成员的交流接触时，他看见了什么？
答：值得注意的是，经过长时间与地方教会成员的交流接触，汉克能见证他们里面对真道的准确性有着高度的兴趣，而这乃是当今福音派大多数人所缺少的。
7) Q. Theologically speaking, the local churches may not be a cult. But what about from a social perspective?
A. The local churches are not a cult from a sociological perspective. In this sense, a cult is a religious or semi-religious sect whose followers are controlled by strong leadership in virtually every dimension of their lives.
问：从神学观点来看，地方教会可能不是邪教。但是，从社会学角度来看又怎么样呢？
答：从社会学角度来看，地方教会也不是邪教。在这层意义上，邪教是指一种宗教或半宗教派别，其跟随者在他们生活几乎每一面皆受到强势领导的控制。
8) Q. The local churches have often been associated with other cultic groups. Has this had an affect on them?
A. It is more than unfortunate that the local churches have been uncharitably lumped together with sociological cults involved in the most heinous activities conceivable. It is truly tragic that this classification has been used to persecute and imprison members of the local churches in various regions around the world.
问：地方教会经常被认为与一些邪教团体有关联。这对他们有什么影响吗？
答：万分不幸的，地方教会竟被无情地与社会学上的邪教归为一类，让人联想到那些最惨无人道的行为。可悲的是，在全球某些区域，这样的标签被用来逼迫并囚禁地方教会的成员。
9) Q. The local churches have their beginnings in the East. Do they have a place in Western Christianity?
A. The local churches are an authentic expression of New Testament Christianity. Moreover, as a group forged in the cauldron of persecution, it has much to offer Western Christianity.
问：地方教会起源于东方。他们在西方基督教里占有什么地位吗？
答：地方教会是新约基督教一个真实的彰显。不仅如此，作为一个经受逼迫的苦痛锤炼的团体，地方教会对西方基督教可以有许多贡献。
10) Q. After contact with members of the local church, what is the point that impressed Hank?
A. It is their practice of prophesying—not in the sense of foretelling the future but in the 1 Corinthians 14 sense of exhorting, edifying, encouraging, educating, equipping, and explicating Scripture.
问：接触了地方教会的成员后，让汉克印象深刻的是什么呢？
答：他们申言的实行——并非指预言未来，而是指林前十四章所说的劝勉、启发、鼓励、教育、装备并解释圣经。
