Q & A On Biblical Doctrine 圣经教义问答

Preface

The International Assembly of the True Jesus Church was formed in 1975, although the church itself was well established long before then. Up until that time, the truth of salvation had been preached predominantly to Chinese people. Accordingly, publications on biblical doctrines, including the flagship periodical, Holy Spirit Times, were in Chinese. And when believer took the gospel to countries such as India and Thailand, they imparted it solely through the spoken word.

In the early 80, as the gospel took root at Africa, Central and South America, and the Philippines, missionary workers were sent out regularly to preach, pastor and train up local workers. During this period, the Holy Spirit worked powerfully through signs and miracles, leading to high attendance at evangelistic services and to many people receiving the Holy Spirit and water baptism. However, the lack of written resources in English and other languages proved to be a problem: the new believers had nothing to read to nurture their faith, and the workers could not provide the ” solid food” that the congregations needed( Heb 5: 12- 6:1)
