Beliefs
Kesiembanis have a wide variety of beliefs, depending on region, sect, and individual philosophy. This is due to the largely decentralised nature of the religion. Many Kesiembani groups have grown different enough to be considered different religions.

Divine forces
Kesiembanis believe in two primordial divine forces, one good and one evil. The good force is usually called Kuasidupan, while the negative force is usually called Kuasematian. Kesiembanis generally believe that these forces flow through everything, especially life, and humans and dieties most of all. Generally, they believe that the world can only exist in a balance of the two forces, as one force cannot exist without the other. Many Kesiembanis also believe that when one force grows too strong, the other grows to equal it. The forces are usually divided into different elements and forces as well.

Spirits
Most Kesiembanis also believe in divine spirits who have varying levels of power and control over different facets of the divine forces. These spirits are beings formed by areas of raised concentration of a force. The spirits are called Pusairaka. Some Kesiembanis also believe in some humans who have more of a certain force flowing through them, resulting in powers. These humans are known as Yangibasa.

There are a wide variety of Kesiembani sects, many of them being unofficial categorizations.
