We, as individuals sharing a common set of beliefs, and accepting our individual responsibility for our own relationship with God: • meet together on a regular basis to study His word as presented to us in The Holy Bible, using various translations and study aids (Hebrews 10.25; Ephesians 4.11-14; 2 Timothy 2.15; 2 Peter 1.5-11) • strive to identify the gifts granted to each of us individually by our Creator and to use those talents to the best of our ability (Matthew 25.14-30; Luke 19.11-27; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12; 1 Timothy 4.14) • provide spiritual care, support and assistance to persons who are sick or in need (Matthew 25.35-36; Romans 12.20; 1 Corinthians 13; Ephesians 4.32; James 5.13-18 • live according to the Biblical description of a Christian: 1. be affectionate; 2. bless those who persecute Christians; 3. rejoice and weep with one another; 4. be of the same mind toward one another; 5. have regard for good things in the sight of all men; 6. live peaceably with all persons; 7. give place to wrath (Romans 12.9-21) • live our lives as an example so that others would want to be Christians (Matthew 5.13-16; Phillipians 4.5; 1 Timothy 4.12) • allow God to work through us to accomplish His will whenever and however He may choose (Matthew 12.50; Phillipians 2.12-16) • actively and individually support the work done by any other organization(s) which hold similar beliefs to those contained in our "Statement of Beliefs" (Matthew 29.19-20) |
