The Articles of Faith of the True Jesus Church

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.
