警察抓捕基督徒(情景画面)
(光传媒2021年5月27日讯)光传媒获悉,基督教地方召会,是中国境内家庭教会重要的一支,长期受到中国政府的打压逼迫。根据国内的弟兄姊妹提供的消息,近期在江苏无锡、广西南宁和北京市,再次有地方召会的弟兄姊妹被抓捕判刑。
在广西南宁的地方召会聚会被当地警方冲击,强迫关闭,林哲、陈先仰、陈维义三位弟兄北部,至今已近两年时间没有释放,也因证据不足没有审理。江苏无锡的地方召会也被破关闭,杨约翰弟兄被捕。
北京市的地方召会聚会在2019年受到冲击,来自台湾和香港的弟兄姊妹被强制离境,而本地的尹姊妹被抓捕后保释,逃到美国获得美国政府的保护。被捕的林贤赞弟兄,在本月(2021年5月)被北京市法院判刑3年。
地方召会是中国著名的基督教流行倪柝声、李常受发起的中国基督教流派,成立于1921年。也被称为“主的恢复”和“小排聚会”,中国公安部门称之为“呼喊派”并定为邪教。地方召会采用的《恢复本圣经》、《晨兴圣言》等教会书刊,也被中国政府认定为“邪教”刊物。但是在美国和其他国家,地方召会已经成为“福音派”的一支,被主流基督教接受。

China recently arrested and sentenced Local Church Christians
The Local Church is an important group of house churches in China and has long been suppressed and persecuted by the Chinese government. According to the information provided by brothers and sisters in China, recently in Wuxi, Jiangsu, Nanning, Guangxi, and Beijing, brothers and sisters from local churches were arrested and sentenced again.
The local church meeting in Nanning, Guangxi was attacked by the local police and forced to close. Three brothers Lin Zhe, Chen Xianyang, and Chen Weiyi were arrested and have not been released for nearly two years. They have not been tried due to insufficient evidence. The local church in Wuxi, Jiangsu was also closed down, and Brother John Yang was arrested.
Local church gatherings in Beijing were attacked in 2019. Brothers and sisters from Taiwan and Hong Kong were forced to leave the mainland, while the local sister Yin was arrested and released on bail and fled to the United States and got protection by the US government. The arrested Brother Lin Xianzan was sentenced to 3 years in prison by the Beijing Municipal Court several days ago this month (May 2021).
The Local Church is a Chinese Christian group initiated by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, the famous Christian leaders in China. It was established in 1921. It is also known as “The Lord’s Recovery” and “Small Group Gathering”, and the Chinese Public Security Ministry names it the “Shouters” and designated it as a cult. Church publications such as “The Bible of Recovery Version ” and “Holy Words for Morning Revival” published and used by the Local Church have also been recognized as “cult” publications by the Chinese government. However, in the United States and other countries, the Local Church has become a group of Evangelical Church and has been accepted by mainstream Christianity.
