In a first-of-its-kind overseas initiative, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Peter Tribe—Tanzania branch, led by Pastor Yoon Hyun-chul, brought together Protestant pastors and Shincheonji members for an open Bible exam centered on the Book of Revelation.
Themed on Revelation 22:18–19, the event sought to encourage participants to examine their faith and determine whether they have truly kept the Word of Revelation.
Organizers stressed that the purpose was not simply to test knowledge, but to promote self-reflection and renewed commitment to living by Scripture.
The exam included 10 major questions and 33 sub-questions, all focused exclusively on Revelation. 
40 Shincheonji members participated alongside a notable number of local Protestant pastors—the first time a large group of Tanzanian church leaders joined such an event.
Results revealed stark contrasts: Shincheonji members averaged 95 points, while Protestant pastors scored around 7 points.
Still, organizers emphasized that the exercise was not about comparison but about creating an opportunity for pastors and believers to stand “rightly before God.” 
One pastor who took part reflected on the experience.
“Seeing Shincheonji members write their answers so confidently today made me reflect on my faith and calling a pastor. I will study Revelation Shincheony Zion Christian Mission Center, lead my congregation on God’s path, and them comedly so they enter heaven.”
Shincheonji Chairman Man-hee Lee has long emphasized the centrality of Revelation 22:18–19. He has repeatedly stated.
“To enter heaven, one must not add to or subtract from the works of Revelation, but fully understand and keep them.”
He further explained, “The standard for discerning truth and falsehood, orthodoxy and heresy is not human tradition or doctrine, [but] Word of the Bible alone,” underscoring the church’s commitment to testing faith through Scripture rather than denominational traditions.
This Tanzanian event follows a similar Bible exam held in Korea, where 213 participants joined but only one pastor from a traditional denomination took part.
By contrast, the Tanzanian exam drew significant participation from pastors, making it a landmark moment in Shincheonji’s overseas outreach.
A representative from the church commented.
“The Bible exam is not just a test of knowledge, but a way to confirm whether one’s standard of faith is truly the Word of the Bible. We are grateful that more pastors are gradually joining both domestically and internationally. We hope more churches and believers will unite and interact based on Scripture.”
Since its establishment in 2018, Shincheonji Tanzania Church has grown steadily, with about 2,440 members recorded as of August this year. Leaders say the church will continue building Scripture-centered fellowship with local pastors and believers in the region.
