Frequently Asked Questions

A) About Our Church

1. Why there is a word "True" in our church name?
   • The word “True” refers to the true God, for God is true (Jer:10:10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
     See All...; Isa:65:16That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
     See All...; Jn:17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
     See All...), and it shows that the church belongs to the true God.
   • Jesus has made known the true God (Jn:1:18No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
     See All... KJV), and is the true God himself (1 Jn:5:20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
     See All...). Jesus said, “I am the true vine” (Jn:15:1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
     See All...), and “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (Jn:14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
     See All...). The Bible also refers to the Lord Jesus as “the true light” (Jn:1:9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
     See All...), and as “holy and true” (Rev:6:10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
     See All...). So it is proper that Jesus be called “True Jesus.”
   • Because believers are branches of the true vine and they constitute the church—the body of Christ—the church is also the “True Church”. If the church belongs to the “True God” and the “True Jesus,” it is the “True Church.”
   • The True Jesus Church does not only bear the name of the true church. The Holy Spirit abides with the church to testify that this church preaches the truth and that it is indeed the true Church (Heb:2:3-4 [3] How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; [4] God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
     See All...; Eph:1:13-14 [13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, [14] Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
     See All...; Eph:2:22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
     See All...).
   • The name of TJC is in the Bible (Rev:19:11-16 [11] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. [13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. [14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
     See All...).  Please refer to the P.S. at the end of the questions.
     • The word True. “True”
       Note that the Jesus and the church are not separable. Jesus and the church are one. The name on the rider, Jesus, denotes the name for the church with Jesus being the head. The name is Faithful and True. Spiritually, this means True.
     • The Word of God. “Jesus”
       The name is The Word of God. (Rev:19:13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
       See All...). The Word God is Jesus. (Jn:1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
       See All..., Jn:1:14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
       See All...).
     • King of kings and Lord of lords. “Church”
       The name is King of kings and Lord of lords. Of course, Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, but the emphasis here is the name. Kings connotes baptized believers who have been sanctified. (See Rev:1:5-6 [5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, [6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
       See All...; Rev:5:9-10 [9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
       See All...). They are the victorious believers, the saints. The lords refer to the obedient believers, being led by the Lord, the Holy Spirit.

2. If a person does not have the life time opportunity to come to know about the True Jesus Church, will he or she not able to go to heaven?

   • Even those who have not heard of the gospel are without excuse “because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them” through his creation (Rom:1:18-23 [18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
     See All...). Not only so, God’s law is written in their hearts, and God will judge the secrets of men on this basis (Rom:2:15-16 [15] Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) [16] In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
     See All...).
   • God rewards eternal life to those “who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality” (Rom:2:6-11 [6] Who will render to every man according to his deeds: [7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: [8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, [9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; [10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: [11] For there is no respect of persons with God.
     See All...). God is able to save the pagans who seek him just as he is able to save the believers in Old Testament times who never heard of Christ.
   • The Bible clearly states that Christ is the only Savior: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts:4:12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
     See All...); “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (Jn:14:6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
     See All...). Even if the pagans who seek God will be saved, they are saved not by their paganism, but by the atoning work of Christ, who brought God’s grace and reconciliation to the world.
   • Although we do not know exactly how God will judge those who never heard of the gospel, we do know that God’s judgment is always just. He demands from everyone according to what they have been given (Lk:12:48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
     See All...).
   • We do not need to know how God will judge the pagans. Each person will have to be accountable to God on an individual basis. Instead of speculating about the salvation of the pagans, we need to be sure that we respond to the gospel we have heard (Heb:2:1-4 [1] Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. [2] For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; [3] How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; [4] God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

B) Jesus the True God

1. The same true God has always been there since the beginning.  So why there are some Old Testament laws/teachings that we shall abide today and some we don't.
   • The God’s law is righteous (Deu:4:1-10 [1] Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. [2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. [3] Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you. [4] But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day. [5] Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. [6] Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. [7] For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for? [8] And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? [9] Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; [10] Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
     See All...)
   • The function of the laws (Rom:7:7-17 [7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. [8] But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. [9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [10] And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13] Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. [14] For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. [16] If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. [17] Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
     See All..., Rom:10:4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
     See All..., Heb:10:1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

   • Jesus is the same always (Heb:13:8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
     See All...)
   • Mat:5:17-20 [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

   • In Jesus, obey Jesus to be perfect (Mat:5:21-48 [21] Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: [22] But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. [23] Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; [24] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. [25] Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. [26] Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [31] It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: [32] But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. [33] Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: [34] But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: [35] Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. [36] Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. [37] But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. [38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: [39] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. [41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. [42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. [43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

2. Bible says God is the ONLY one true God and Jesus Himself is God who came to the earth in flesh.  So, is Jesus disregarded other religions and being unreasonable?

C) Holy Bible

1. Isn't Bible texts written by human? So why we do claim Bible words are God's words? Are there any contradiction found within the Bible?

• How do we know the Bible is God’s Word?
  • Its unity
  • Its historical and geographical accuracy
  • Its prophetic accuracy
  • Its scientific accuracy (Isa:40:22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
    See All...; Job:26:7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

• Man’s pen but by inspiration of God (2 Tim:3:15-17 [15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

D) Holy Spirit

1. Why praying in Holy Spirit produces strange sounds?  It seems like praying in tongue scares truth seekers away?
   • The Spirit gave them utterance (Acts:2:1-4 [1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
     See All...)
   • A sound came from heavenà gave them the utterance to speak in tongues 
   • The sound of God is like a noise of many waters (Ezk:43:2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
     See All..., Rev:1:15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

     See All...) 
   • Holy Spirit scares people away? No, it’s because the people does not know God, if people knows God he will pray for the abidance of Holy Spirit and receive the Joy (Jn:14:16-20 [16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. [18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. [20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
     See All...; Jn:16:20-22 [20] Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

2. Why shall we kneel down when we pray to God?
   • The secret of Abram to be perfect is falling on his face before the Almighty God (Gen:17:1-8 [1] And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. [3] And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, [4] As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. [5] Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. [6] And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. [7] And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. [8] And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

E) Sabbath Day

1. How do we know Sabbath day does not fall on Sunday? Why Sabbath worship is on Saturday?

• God set the day and made known to Moses (Exo:16:23-30 [23] And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. [24] And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. [25] And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. [26] Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. [27] And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. [28] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? [29] See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. [30] So the people rested on the seventh day.

• The Lord Jesus observed the Sabbath day (Luk:4:16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
  See All...; Luk:13:10And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
  See All...; Mk:6:2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
  See All...). So it should be beyond doubt that the day had not been lost up to Jesus’ time.
• The apostles confirmed the Sabbath kept by the Jews (Acts:15:21For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
  See All...). Paul himself also kept the Sabbath (Acts:13:13-14 [13] Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. [14] But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
  See All...; Acts:16:13And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
  See All...; Acts:17:1-2 [1] Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: [2] And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
  See All...; Acts:18:4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
  See All...).
• During the same period, sun worshippers observed Sunday and Sunday worship was later brought into the church. Yet the Jews were still keeping the Sabbath (7th day). Both practices have been observed until today.           
• Although the Jews have been dispersed to different parts of the world, they all have been keeping the Sabbath on the same day even until today.      
• The seven-day week is found in many countries around the world since ancient times, and the days are the same from country to country.           
• God, the creator of the Sabbath as well as the universe, would not have allowed His sacred day to be lost.  

F) Salvation

1. If I can gain salvation by believing in Christ. Why shall I be part of a church organization?

• Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matt:7:21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
  See All...).
• “But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?” (Luk:6:46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
  See All...).
• What is His will? His will is (among other teachings) through His church, people are saved. Thus, the Bible undoubtedly charges that the church is the body of Jesus (Eph:1:22-23 [22] And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, [23] Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
  See All...; Acts:20:28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
  See All..., Acts:2:47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
  See All...)
• Without being the part of the body, how can a person be saved? No way!
• The Bible plainly affirms that the church is the pillar and the ground of the truth. (1 Tim:3:15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
  See All...). “--- the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church ---” (Eph:3:10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
  See All...).
• Our faith must be built upon the foundation of the apostles and Jesus Christ being the corner stone (Eph:2:20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
  See All...).  
• Believers who form the church can only be truly united by the truth (among other teachings) preached by the church, according to the Bible. 

G) Servitude

1. A sincere truth seeker has offered help to do church work such as cooking, playing piano, singing in choir presentation, performing music presentation and others? Can he or she be allowed to participate in the holy work? If not, why?

• Sincerity doesn’t mean holiness. To serve God requires holiness, just with a sincere heart only is not enough. Refer to how those spiritual creatures serve God before the throne”
  • Key verses: Isa:6:2-8 [2] Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. [3] And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. [4] And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. [5] Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. [6] Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: [7] And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. [8] Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
    See All..., Rev:4:4-6 [4] And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. [5] And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. [6] And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
    See All...; Rev:14:1-5 [1] And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. [2] And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: [3] And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. [4] These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. [5] And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
    See All..., Rev:7:9-17 [9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; [10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. [11] And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, [12] Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. [13] And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? [14] And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. [15] Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. [16] They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. [17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
    See All...
• The remission of sins is the key to be holy—wear a white garment (Rev:3:4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
  See All..., Rev:6:11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
  See All..., Rev:7:14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
  See All..., Rev:19:8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
  See All...).  
• The church is the house of God; the work in the church is called holy work because it is related to God who is holy. 
• Encourage the truth seeker to fully understand the salvation and make determination to be baptized first, and then participate in the church works.

P.S.

True Jesus Church--The One True Church in the Bible 

The church qualifying to be the One True Church in the Bible must contain certain Biblical criteria. These include the Truth, the Holy Spirit, God’s power (to perform miracles) and the name of the church.

1. The One True Church must be the pillar and ground of the Truth.  (1 Tim:3:15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
   See All...).
   The Truth must be 100% according to the Bible.
2. The One True Church must have the Holy Spirit.
   • The Spirit is truth .” (1 Jn:5:6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
     See All...).  Our salvation demands both the Truth and the Holy Spirit. 
   • “But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,” (2 Thes:2:13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
     See All...).
   • The One True Church needs the Holy Spirit to forgive sins. (Jn:20:21-23 [21] Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. [22] And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: [23] Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
     See All...). (Matt:16:19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
     See All...). (1 Cor:6:11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
     See All...). (1 Cor:12:13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
     See All...).
   • The presence of the Holy Spirit confirms God’ abidance in us. (1 Jn:3:24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
     See All...).
   • We need the Holy Spirit to sanctify us. (Rom:15:16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
     See All...).
   • We need the Holy Spirit to belong to Him. (Rom:8:9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
     See All...).
3. The One True Church must have God’s power.
   • Confirmation from God. (Jn:3:1-2 [1] There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
     See All...; Jn:5:36But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
     See All..., Jn:10:37-38 [37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. [38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
     See All...). (2 Cor:12:12Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
     See All...).
   • Miracles testifying the Truth preached. (Mk:16:20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
     See All...). (Acts:14:3Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
     See All...; see also Heb:2:3-4 [3] How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; [4] God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
     See All...).
   • Miracles attracted many to believe. (Act:5:12-16 [12] And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. [13] And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. [14] And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) [15] Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. [16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
     See All...). (Rom:15:19Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
     See All...).
   • One may ask “Why ‘churches’ without the Perfect Gospel can sometime perform miracles?” The answer is miracles can happen in three different situations.
     • God works miracles in the One True Church 
     • Out of love and mercy, God can perform miracles when one still does not know the Truth. (Matt:5:45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
       See All...). (Mk:9:36-40 [36] And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, [37] Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. [38] And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. [39] But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. [40] For he that is not against us is on our part.
       See All...). Note: physical healing, etc do not promise salvation.
     • Satan also performs miracles though with limitation. (Exo:7:11-12 [11] Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. [12] For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
       See All..., Exo:8:6-7 [6] And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. [7] And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
       See All...). (2 Thes:2:9-10 [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
       See All...).
4. The One True Church in the Bible is the True Jesus Church.

   The True Jesus Church can be seen in Revelation. “And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.” (Rev:6:2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
   See All...). The rider is Jesus for He is always victorious. The white horse is the Church for Jesus is the head and leader of the Church. Like a rider riding a horse, Jesus directs the Church. The same white horse and the rider appear again in Rev Chapter 19.

   • The word True.
     The Jesus and the church are not separable. Jesus and the church are one. The name on the rider, Jesus, denotes the name for the church with Jesus being the head. The name is Faithful and True. Spiritually, this means True. “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” (Rev:19:11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
     See All...).
   • The Word of God.
     The name is The Word of God. “He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” Rev:19:13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
     See All...). The Word God is Jesus. (See Jn:1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
     See All..., Jn:1:14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
     See All...).
   • King of kings and Lord of lords.
     The name is King of kings and Lord of lords. Of course, Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, but the emphasis here is the name. “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.” (Rev:19:16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
     See All...). Kings connotes baptized believers who have been sanctified. (See Rev:1:5-6 [5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, [6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
     See All...; Rev:5:9-10 [9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
     See All...). They are the victorious believers, the saints. The lords refer to the obedient believers, being led the Lord, the Holy Spirit.
     
     Believers alone cannot establish the Church. Jesus requires believers to constitute the Church. Plainly, both the King and the kings, so as the Lord and the lords are indispensable to form the Church. Therefore, King of kings and Lord of lords mean the Church. So the name is True Jesus Church.
