1) Q. The Local Churches are unfamiliar to me. Do any seminaries have anything to say about them?
A. Fuller Theological Seminary easily and comfortably receives them as genuine believers and fellow members of the Body of Christ. They also unreservedly recommend that all Christian believers likewise extend to them the right hand of fellowship.
问：我对地方教会不熟悉。有没有一些神学院说到地方教会呢？
答：富勒神学院能够毫无疑虑地接纳他们为真信徒，是基督身体上的肢体；并且毫无保留地推荐所有的基督信徒，都和他们一样，向他们伸出右手彼此相交。
2) Q. In addition to being genuine believers, are they considered to be orthodox Christians?
A. In regard to their teaching and testimony concerning God, the Trinity, the person and work of Christ, the Bible, salvation, and the oneness and unity of the Church, the Body of Christ, Fuller Theological Seminary found them to be unequivocally orthodox.
问：除了是真信徒以外，地方教会也被承认为是正统的基督徒吗？
答：他们在神、三一神、基督的身位与工作、圣经、救恩、教会的合一，以及基督的身体等教训和见证上，富勒神学院发现都绝对合于正统。
3) Q. I don’t know too much about their church practices. How would you characterize them?
A. Church life in the local churches is primarily distinguished from typical American evangelicalism because of the local churches’ attempts to experience church as they think it was in the New Testament, before the rise of denominationalism or other congregational distinctives.
问：我对教会的实行了解的不多。你们是如何来描述它们的特征呢？
答：地方教会中的教会生活有别于典型的美国福音派教会，因为地方教会试图按照他们所认为在新约里的教会，也就是在公会和其他团体产生之前的模式，来过教会生活。
4) Q. Unlike the Baptists, the local churches do not take names for their churches. Why is this?
A. They believe that a biblical description of “the church” in any given locality is merely “the church”—not the Baptist Church and the Lutheran Church and the Community Church, etc.
问：地方教会不像浸信会那样，他们没有为他们的教会取名字。为什么是这样的呢？
答：他们相信，圣经中所描述在某地方的“教会”仅仅就是“教会”，不是浸信会，路德会与社区教会等等。
5) Q. Because of differences in beliefs, Baptists cannot meet with Lutherans. What about the local church?
A. They believe that the church in any given locality includes all Christian believers in that area, regardless of whether all the believers meet together or recognize their unity above their denominational or name distinctions.
问：由于教义不同，浸信会信徒与路德会信徒不能聚在一起。地方教会怎么样呢？
答：他们相信，无论一个地方所有的信徒是否都在一处聚会，或者体认到他们的合一高过其公会或名称的区别，在那个地方的教会包括该区域所有的基督徒。
6) Q. The Local Churches have been accused of claiming to be the only true Christians? Is this true?
A. Although they have been accused of believing that only those who meet with them are true Christians, that is not their belief and it is not what they practice.
问：地方教会被指控宣称只有他们才是真基督徒？这情况属实吗？
答：虽然有人指控他们相信只有那些与他们聚会的才是真正的基督徒，但那其实不是他们的信仰，与不是他们的实行。
7) Q. Since the Local Churches do not have a clergy/laity structure, how are their services conducted?
A. Because they do not have a clergy/laity authority structure, services are very plain, have components contributed by a variety of brothers and sisters worshipping together, and typically have more prayer, simple hymn singing, and vocal worship than formal orders of service or pastor-directed sermons.
问：由于地方教会没有圣品阶级与平信徒的结构，那他们的事奉是如何实行的呢？
答：由于他们没有圣品阶级与平信徒的结构，过程十分简朴。一起敬拜的弟兄姊妹们同尽功用，通常有更多的祷告，简单的唱诗，和出声的敬拜，没有正式的敬拜顺序或牧师主导的讲道。
8) Q. As genuine Christians, if they were just like any other American church experience, would this help?
A. If the local churches movement were just like any other American church experience, the controversy and accusations against them would probably not have arisen.
问：作为真基督徒，如果地方教会像美国其它教会经历那样，这对他们有益处吗？
答：如果地方教会运动只是与美国其它教会经历类似，也许就不会有那些针对他们的争议和控告。
9) Q. Fuller is a respected seminary that has researched them. What is their conclusion?
A. It is the conclusion of Fuller Theological Seminary that the teachings and practices of the local churches and its members represent the genuine, historical, biblical Christian faith in every essential aspect.
问：富勒神学院是一所权威的神学院。他们对地方教会研究之后，作出的结论是什么呢？
答：富勒神学院作出的结论是：地方教会及其成员的教训与实行，在每一基本面，均体现出纯正、合乎历史并合于 圣经的基督徒信仰。
10) Q. In addition to being genuine Christians, what should others know about their doctrine and practice?
A. In sum, along with Christians from a broad range of persuasions, the local churches are dedicated to both proper doctrine (orthodoxy) and proper practice (orthopraxy).
问：除了知道地方教会是真基督徒以外，别人如何能知道他们的教义与实行呢？
答：总结来说，地方教会与许多不同背景的基督徒一样，都致力追求正确的教训（正统信仰）和正确的实行（正统实行）。
