Relevance: vital applications in light of the times

We possess understood convictions that serve us in the present times much in the same way as consensus resolutions of Acts 15 helped preserve the unity for that time.

• We stand by women having a ministry role in the teaching and training of other women. We believe that any congregation has the right to financially support these women in the ministry. We also recognize their value and influence in the lives of men in the church (1 Corinthians 9:5, Titus 2:3-4, Acts 18:24-26, Romans 16:1-15).
• The romantic and marriage relationships of Christians are to be pursued with only those who “belong to the Lord” as defined by Scriptures (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1, 1 Corinthians 7:39).
• The decision-making responsibilities of established congregations belong to the individual congregation. We are also resolved to pursue and maintain our congregation’s links with other congregations and individual Christians—soliciting, giving and receiving input and godly influence from those outside our local congregation (1 Peter 5:5).
• Our communication within the church and outside of our brotherhood should always be genuine, respectful and never antagonistic (1 Peter 2:17).
