THE ARTICLES OF FAITH OF THE TRUE JESUS CHRUCH

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.

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.

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.

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

spring.

often as possible. Only one unleavened
bread and grape juice shall be used.

Last Day when he descends from Heaven to judge the world; the righteous will
receive eternal life, whereas the wicked will be condemned.
