Baptism
Although many mainstream church Christians would have received baptism already, in many cases they receive baptism when they are not born again yet due to incorrect doctrines, and also instead of full baptism of the entire body that symbolizes total conversion of being born again to be a new person they receive partial baptism on the head, therefore it is recommended that new members receive baptism again.
Those who decided to follow Jesus and who are already experiencing the things described in the Baptism Catechism can participate in the Baptism.
Please read the catechism carefully and when you are ready to not only confess to agree to the questionnaires in the catechism but are ready to declare with “Yes” that you are already experiencing the things described in the Baptism Catechism, you can request to participate in the Baptism Catechism.

Baptism Catechism
Congratulations to you for your new life and for your decision to receive baptism in Jesus Christ our Lord.
This Catechism is your confession to God, therefore please be sure to check all the instructions carefully before committing to the Catechism.
Introduction
This baptism catechism is your declaration of your faith and being born again. Just like when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and were punished eternally, if you falsely confess to God, you’d be committing a great sin. Therefore, please check this catechism carefully, and I urge you and bless you so that you don’t commit the same sin as Ananias and Sapphira by falsely confessing to the Holy Spirit out of consciousness to people’s perception.
After checking each item in the catechism below, when you are sure you can confess all the questionnaires as your personal declaration you can let us know your intention to participate. Please place your right hand on your chest and say “Yes” clearly in the Baptism Catechism ceremony.
One thing to be mindful of is that you are confessing that you are already experiencing the things described in the questionnaires. If you are really born again you should be already experiencing the things described in the questionnaires. Therefore, please make sure you understand that you’re not merely confessing to believe and agree with the things in the questionnaires but are confessing that you are experiencing the things in the questionnaire happening in your life.
- Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and he died for your sins and was resurrected?
- Have you turned away from all sins and are you experiencing a holy life?
- Have you denied yourself to obey and follow Jesus?
- Have you given your life to Jesus and are you wholeheartedly living for God and his kingdom, not for your dreams and desires in this world?
- Have you promised to God to do whatever he wants you to do or go wherever he wants you to go?
- Are you sure you don’t have any habitual sins or addictions?
- Are you experiencing the Holy Spirit living in you, reacting to your actions? (refer to additional explanation below)
#7 additional explanation: for those who are born again, God seals them with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit lives in them. And the Holy Spirit testifies that he is in you by reacting to your actions. When he is pleased with you he gives you a smooth and velvet like sensation in the center of your chest, but when he is displeased with you he gives you a heavy and pain like sensation in the chest. As such, he shows you his emotions depending on your actions apart from your emotions. That is how you can experience the training by the Holy Spirit by being sensitive to his emotions and correcting your actions according to his guidance.

Doctrines of the Church of the Faithful and Wise Servants (CFWS)
- CFWS believes in the one true God – God of Abraham and Jacob, and believes in the trinity of God – Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- CFWS believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins on a cross and rose again.
- The mission of CFWS is to fulfill the purpose of the Philadelphia Church as described in the Book of Revelation. The Philadelphia Church is a church its members are holy and pure brides, of the Christ, who denied themselves to follow Jesus to be born again, and will be evacuated from the great tribulation to the place God prepared to wait for Jesus to be raptured while living, not martyred in the great tribulation.
- The gospel is good news that says whoever believes Jesus and repented will be saved. Repentance means turning away from all sins and it includes turning away from the sin of disobedience of not following Jesus to live for Jesus and obey him.
- The church of the faithful and wise servants experience and proclaim that the Holy Spirit sits in the center of a person who is born again, and shows his presence by reacting to his actions guiding him.
- CFWS believes in pre-wrath- rapture
- CFWS believes in premillennialism
- CFWS believes in foreknowledge of saints
- CFWS believes that the cross is a man made image and an idol, and any idols should be removed from the place of worship for the worship to be acceptable to God.
- CFWS holds a holy assembly of saints in worship at least once a week on sabbath.
