What We Believe
Gospel of Salvation
There is only one gospel of salvation, and it is through faith in this gospel that we may become true children of God. Since this issue is crucial to our salvation, it is important that we each examine the gospel we have received to see if it is the complete gospel, the one preached by the Lord Jesus and the apostles.
The Lord Jesus challenged the people of His time, “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?” (Lk 6:46). True believers do not merely confess Jesus’ name; they also obey the commands of the Lord. Today, God has established the True Jesus Church as the temple of the Holy Spirit, entrusted her with the preaching of the true gospel, and confirmed this gospel by His Holy Spirit and through signs and miracles.
Once you have found the true gospel, you must act upon God’s word and receive the gospel of grace by faith. If you have not yet fully accepted the grace of Jesus Christ according to the way of God, we urge you to accept the true gospel today.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh, died on the cross for the redemption of sinners, resurrected on the third day, and ascended to heaven. He is the only Savior of mankind, the Creator of the heavens and earth, and the only true God.
Holy Bible
The Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God, the only scriptural truth, and the standard for Christian living.
True Jesus Church
The True Jesus Church, established by our Lord Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit during the time of the ‘latter rain’, is the restored true church of the apostolic time.
Water Baptism
Water baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins for regeneration. The baptism must take place in natural living water, such as the river, sea, or spring. The Baptist, who already has had received baptism of water and the Holy Spirit, conducts the baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the person receiving the baptism must be completely immersed in water with head bowed and face downward.
Holy Spirit
Receiving the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues, is the guarantee of our inheritance of the kingdom of heaven.
Foot Washing
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/her feet washed in the name of Jesus Christ. Mutual foot-washing may be practiced whenever is appropriate.
Holy Communion
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 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 life to come.
Salvation
Salvation is given by the grace of God through faith. Believers must rely on the Holy Spirit to pursue holiness, to honor God, and to love humanity.
The Lord’s Second Coming
The Lord’s Second Coming will take place on the last day when He descends from heaven to judge the world: the righteous will receive eternal life, while the wicked will be eternally condemned.
