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.

With head bowed and facing downward.

Complete immersion of the baptized.

In such natural living water as sea, river, or
spring.
Infants of the believing parents
or families may be baptized.

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.

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.

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.

The Sabbath Day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday),
is a Holy Day blessed and sanctified by God.

God's creation and Salvation, and with the hope of eternal rest in the future.

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.

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.
