Basic Beliefs

The church, being the "pillar and foundation of the truth", must uphold and proclaim the good news of God's Kingdom in complete accordance with the Scriptures.

Origin

The True Jesus Church was establised by Our Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit (the Latter Rain) in 1917 in Beijing, China.

The early workers, having received the Holy Spirit and revelation of the True Gospel, began preaching the truth of salvation from the heart of China. The Holy Spirit worked mightily; signs and miracles confirmed the truth being preached. The lame walked; the blind received sight; the demon-possessed were freed; and even the dead were raised. 

Within a few decades, the Gospel advanced swiftly and covered every province of China. The church then expanded to other parts of Asia.

Why "True" Jesus Church

The God we worship is the True God; thus His Church is the True Church.

The Lord Jesus called Himself the True Vine; The Church, which is His body, is therefore called the True Church.

The True Church preaches the true and complete Gospel, which is confirmed by the Holy Spirit, signs, and miracles.

Articles of Faith

The One True God was manifested in the flesh. He is the Lord Jesus Christ , who died on the cross for the redemption of sinners, was resurrected on the third day, and ascended to heaven. He is the only Saviour of mankind, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and the only True God.

The Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible are inspired by God, and are therefore the only authentic scriptures which testify to the Truth.

Salvation is given by grace through faith. However, it is necessary to rely on the Holy Spirit to pursue holiness and to keep the biblical teachings of honoring God and loving humanity.

The Baptism of Water is the sacrament for the remission of sins and for regeneration. The baptist must already have received baptisms of water and the Holy Spirit. The baptism must be immersion in natural, living water and must be administered in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, with the candidate's head facing downward.

The Washing of Feet is a sacrament which enables one to have a part in the Lord, and teaches mutual love, holiness, humility, service, and forgiveness. The Sacrament of the washing of feet must be performed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to all newly baptized members. Mutual washing of feet may be practiced when necessary.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a prerequisite for entering heaven; speaking in tongues is the evidence of having received the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Communion is a 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 may have eternal life and be raised on the last day. This sacrament should be held as often as possible. Only one unleavened bread and grape juice should be used.

The Sabbath Day , the seventh day of the week (Saturday), is the 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 redemption, and with the hope of eternal rest.

The Lord Jesus Christ will descend from heaven on the Last Day to judge all people; the righteous will receive eternal life, while the wicked will be eternally condemned.

Outlook

The Lord Jesus commissioned His disciples two major tasks: to proclaim the Gospel to every nation (Mark:16:15-16) and to attend to the spiritual needs of all believers in the Church (John:21:15-17).
