11. All Cooperating Bodies Such as Associations, Committees, Conventions, etc. Are and Properly Should Be Servants of the Churches – II Corinthians 8
12. Scriptural Baptism is Immersion of Believers Administered by a New Testament Church, The Lord’s Supper is a Memorial Ordinance, picturing Christ's body broken for our sins and His blood shed for our redemption. It is not a saving ordinance, but helps us remember His death, and inspires us while looking forward to His coming, I Corinthians 11:23-24. It is to be observed by regenerate, obedient believers. – Matthew 28: 19-20 - “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” – I Corinthians 11:23-26. – “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:” – Matthew 3:16
13. We believe that marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman before God. – ‘Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 10:7 for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
14. We believe that God in His creation has made no mistakes even in the design from the womb. - "Job 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb? Therefore we believe that a man and woman are made such through God’s creation and should not attempt to alter their gender in any way.
