Other believers
Are Believers Outside TJC saved???
TJC strongly believes that salvation is only through TJC, no matter what other churches' doctrines are. Based on it 10 Basic Beliefs, every TJC members must follow it closely to keep his/her salvation, besides proclaiming that TJC is the only saved church
TJC also doesn't allow its members to visit other denomination churches, participating in their worship or even partaking their holy communion. That is because TJC believes that other denomination churches are unsaved, therefore whoever worship with them are actually worshiping with the evil spirit.
Eg. If a TJC members partakes Holy Communion in another denomination churches, if he/her is being found out, mostly likely he/her will be disciplined by the church for sinning against the church.
Reason? By partaking in Holy Communion in another denomination, he/she is partaking in a communion of the evil one. (Since they claimed other denomination doesn't have the 'truth' and therefore must be of the evil one)
Should we agree with such teaching?
Update
A TJC member is allowed to visit another denomination, but not allowed to participate in the worship, Holy Communion or receiving the laying of hands and prayers. However, if being found out doing so, they will not be excommunicated but their actions will be frowned upon, and may not be allowed to partake in Holy Communion in TJC.
