Beautiful celebrities founded churches and spread heresy
After leaving the film industry, Jiang Duanyi was busy witnessing everywhere, and gradually felt the need to strengthen her abilities. In May 1961, she followed the advice of a charismatic pastor and fasted and prayed for many days. In July, she claimed to have experienced the filling of the Holy Spirit and the speaking of tongues in tongues. Once, in a church in Hong Kong, an elderly foreign charismatic preacher pointed at Jiang Duanyi on the podium and prophesied, saying that God had appointed her to be a prophet of the times. After that, she considered herself to be the "Great Prophet of the East" who will be used by God in the last days.

The following year, Jiang Duanyi prayed in a secret room for more than 200 days and wrote the "Collection of Life Proofs", claiming to have received revelation from God and to preach "the complete truth of blood, water, and the Holy Spirit" in the last days. Only the blood, water, and Holy Spirit she received are the complete truth.
In July 1963, Jiang Duanyi founded the New Testament Church in Hong Kong, which was also the first independent denomination originating in Hong Kong in history. She believed that the New Testament church she established was the only true church inspired by the Holy Spirit, and was a re-establishment of the original orthodox church in the early days of the New Testament.

Mei Qi and Hong Sanqi of the New Testament Church all claim to be "prophets", representing "the supreme God who comes to exercise kingship" and "God's king on earth", claiming to "overthrow the kingdom of man and establish the kingdom of God." The New Testament church viciously attacks the Chinese regime as a "tyranny" and the laws as "evil laws," and clamors to "defeat atheists," "save the souls of people who are persecuted under communism, and establish the kingdom of Christ." With their instigation and support, the backbone members in the territory have recruited members, established organizations, and held illegal gatherings everywhere, which has brought great harm to the social stability of some areas.
