Doctrines and Beliefs
They believe in divine health through prayer and the anointing of oil, because this is a practice referred to in the New Testament (James 5:14-16).
They also perform the ceremony of the washing of the feet, which was originally performed by Jesus (John 13). This practice has been revived with some pastors who wash the feet of the new members immediately after the baptism in the name of Jesus. The ceremony of washing the feet, symbolizes that members have cut off ties with the devil and have embarked on a new life. In addition to these practices, the Spirit of Jesus Church also retains the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
When the Spirit of Jesus Church presents the Gospel to the newcomers, they invite people to accept Jesus, and encourage them to be baptized in water and Spirit. They sing "Receive the Holy Spirit, received the baptism in water." Only perform Baptisms in the name of Jesus Christ according to Acts 2:38 and Acts 10:48, and believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is received through speaking in tongues. During prayer sessions, the members would continually recite "Hallelujah" until they had received the Holy Spirit.

Famous quotes containing the words doctrines and/or beliefs:
“It is a most curious experience for a man of seventy-two to be confronted with the greenhorn enthusiasms of his youth. Young people think they are so smart. Alas the doctrines they spout with such fervor turn out to be mostly parroted from their elders.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“To begin to use cultural forces for the good of our daughters we must first shake ourselves awake from the cultural trance we all live in. This is no small matter, to untangle our true beliefs from what we have been taught to believe about who and what girls and women are.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
