1. The Lord Jesus Christ became flesh to die on the cross for the redemption of sinners, 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.
2. 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.
3. The True Jesus Church was established by our lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit (the Latter Rain), and is the revival of the True Church of the Apostolic Days.
4. Water baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins and for regeneration. The Baptist must already received the baptisms of water and the Holy Spirit. The baptism must be administered in the following manner:
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
With the baptismal candidate's head facing downward.
Complete immersion of the baptized.
In natural, living water, eg.:ocean, river, or stream.
5. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a prerequisite for entering heaven; speaking in tongues is the evidence of having received the Holy Spirit.
6. Foot-washing is a sacrament which enables one to have a part in the Lord, and teaches mutual love, holiness, humility, service, and forgiveness. The foot-washing Sacrament must be performed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to all newly baptized members. 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 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.
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 redemption, and with the hope of eternal rest.
9. 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.
10. 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.
