Editing Spirit of Jesus Church (section)

== Relationship with Japanese traditional religion==
The preaching methods of the Spirit of Jesus Church tend to reiterate the pledges of the spiritual and [[Prosperity theology|material blessings]] for the true believers, with the belief that God complies faithfully to their promises.

The Spirit of Jesus Church engages in [[spiritual warfare]] against the Japanese traditional religiosity and condemns the practice as "idolatrous". In their evangelistic campaigns, pastors have invited believers to stay away from [[Paganism|pagan]] [[Idolatry|idols]] and refrain from participation in pagan rituals. It also teaches that we must refrain from the practice of traditional rituals of [[ancestor worship]].

The Spirit of Jesus Church considers the [[Buddhist]] altar, the hereditary [[tombstone]]s and [[amulet]]s of [[Shintoism]] as places where evil spirits dwell. According to representatives of the church, ancestor worship is a direct violation of the second commandment that spoke against the worship false gods.
