THE ARTICLES OF FAITH OF THE TRUE JESUS CHRUCH
1. The
True God was manifested in the Flesh, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for
the forgiveness of. Our sins, and was
resurrected on the third day. Jesus is
one and only savior of mankind, the creator of heaven and earth, and the only
true God.
2. The
Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and the New Testaments, is inspired by God
and is the sole standard of scriptural truth for the believers.
3. The
True Jesus Church, a restored ApostolicChurch during the time
of “Latter Rain” and a spiritual and theocratic government, preaches
the Truth, is filled with the Holy Spirit,
and
abounds in miracles and manifold power of God.
4. Water
Baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins and for regeneration. The baptist must be
the one who has received the Holy Spirit.
The baptism must be administered in the following manner:
1. In the Name of the Lord Jesus.
2. With head bowed and facing
downward.
3 Complete immersion
of the baptized.
4 in such natural living water as
sea, river, or spring.
Infants of the believing parents
or families may be baptized
5. Receiving
the Holy Spirit is for sanctification and divine power. To be sealed with the Holy Spirit is a
guarantee of our inheritance into the kingdom of God
and is evidence by speaking in tongues.
6 The
Sacrament of Foot-washing enables one to have a part with the Lord Jesus. It also serves as a constant reminder that
one should have love, holiness, humility, forgiveness, and service. Every person who has received water baptism
must have his feet washed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mutual foot-washing may be
practiced when necessary.
7 The
Holy Communion is the sacrament to commemorate the death of the Lord Jesus
Christ. It enables us to partake of the
flesh and blood of our Lord, and to be in Communion with him so that we can
have eternal life and be raised on the Last Day.
This sacrament shall be held as
often as possible. Only one unleavened
bread and grape juice shall be used.
8 The
Sabbath Day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), is a Holy Day blessed and
sanctified by God. It is to be observed
under the Lord's grace for the commemoration of God's creation and Salvation, and
with the hope of eternal rest in the future.
9. Salvation
is given by the grace of God through the faith of the believers. One must be
reborn from water and the Spirit, pursue holiness, glorify God and benefit
humanity.
10. The Lord's Second Coming will take place at the Last Day when he
descends from Heaven to judge the world; the righteous will receive eternal
life, whereas the wicked will be condemned.
