The True Jesus Church is an independent church that was established in China in 1917. It belongs to the Pentecostal group of Christianity. Today there are between 1.5 to four million members in forty five countries. Christmas and Easter are not celebrated. The church was established in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2004. The church disagrees with the Trinity concept and follows the "Jesus-name" doctrine instead.
== Five main doctrines==
=== Holy Spirit===
"Receiving the Holy Spirit is evidenced by speaking in tongues. It is the guarantee of our inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven".
=== Baptism===
"Water baptism is the sacrament for the remission of sins and for regeneration. The baptism is to 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 is to be completely immersed in water with head bowed and face downward".
=== Feet washing===
"The sacrament of feet 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 is to have their 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 is held as often as possible. Only one unleavened bread and grape juice is used".
===Sabbath Day===
"The Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), is a Holy Day, blessed and sanctified by God. It is 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".
==Additional doctrines==
===Jesus===
"Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh, died on the cross for the redemption of sinners, ressurrected on the third day and ascended to heaven. He is the only Saviour of mankind, the Creator of the heavens and earth, and the only True God".
===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".
===Salvation===
"Salvation is given by the grace of God through faith. Believers must rely on the Holy Spirit to pursue holiness, to honour God, and to love humanity".
===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".
===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".
