In the true church composed of all blood w

In obedience to civil government.
In divorce only on New
Testament scriptural grounds.
In church government, loyalty and obedience to those in authority over us in the Lord.
In tithing as God’s financial plan.
In the restitution for past wrongs w

In the victorious life over sin, self, and bad habits by Bible study and an incessant prayer life.
In Christian perfection and holiness, through absolute surrender and consecration. In Christian m
odesty in matter of dress and w

As regards recreation—
liberty of conscience and a Godly exam

In the imm

In the everlasting punishment of the im
penitent. In the personal, literal, bodily pre-m
illennial coming of Jesus Christ.
In a future, literal, 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth with all H

ill be finally rewarded for their deeds of
comm
ission and omission.
In the Christian tolerance to all denominations of Christian faith.
