True Jesus Church = not saved

"Should Infant Baptism Be Conducted?
He said to his disciples, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
So it is more proper for infants than for adults to be baptised. This is one of the spiritual things that God reveals to little children – Infant Baptism."

These folks are primarily "baptized" as babies, meaning they aren't baptized at all. What a shame.

Is this what they have always believed?

I am not sure. I was reading a blog by a former TJC member, apparently they have 'Ten fundamental Beliefs' but those have changed over time somewhat. I am not sure what they originally believed in regards to infant baptism.

I have looked into them a few times through the years. The info you posted is new to me.

I don't know? I knew they believed that you had to be baptised in 'living water' ie a lake, river, ocean, stream, pond, etc and that baptismals and tubs were not acceptable. I knew they also believed that you had to be baptised with your head bowed forward or you didn't get baptised. But I did not know they practiced infant baptism.

But apparently, they do. I do not know if they always believed this? Or if this is a change in their doctrine? Supposedly almost ALL of their growth in the united states has been by infant baptisms of member's children, and not by evangelistic conversions. Or so I read.

They do baptize adults too.

Yes, any new convert who is an adult they require to be baptised.

Just like the Roman Catholic church does...

But apparently they believe all babies of Christians are to be baptised... as babies... again just like the RCC... and the Presbyterians, too, for that matter...

These people take legalism to a new level.
