Preface

A Constitution is a system of governance (often codified as a written document)establishing the rules and the principles of an autonomous entity and governing therelationship between or among the arms or sectors, determining their powers andresponsibilities. A Constitution gives full power to an entity subject to the Constitutionitself while most Constitutions give guarantees to the rights of the people it governs.

A Constitution is specific in draft and is usually comprehensive in its presentation tocover (or make allowance to cover) all areas of the functioning or life of the Entity.Invariably it tends to be absolute, and supremacy is usually ascribed to it over theexisting traditions, conventions, rules and regulations.

In researching and drafting the Constitution for the Pentecostal Gospel Temple (church),we took particular care not to legislate in any way or form, a document that wouldcontradict the absolute authority and working of the Holy Spirit and His operation withinthe Church. Our church Constitution and By-Laws were therefore constructed in thenormative context having parameters, checks and balance, determining authority andthe responsibility of the governing ecclesiastical body while recognizing the overallsupreme power and sovereignty of God.

INTRODUCTION

The Importance of a Good Constitution and By-Laws

by David C. Gibbs Jr., Attorney

“Every church needs to have a document that sets forth how the organization willoperate. Most frequently, this document is referred to as the Church Constitution, theexistence and the accuracy of the document are legally imperative to protect a church’sintegrity and conduct of operations and her tax-exempt status. The Constitution shouldbe written to reflect each church’s specific needs and practices….

The purpose statement should be broad in scope. In fact, it should be so broad that itcovers both present active ministries and potential future ministries. In addition, theministry purpose must (1) be religious, charitable, scientific, for testing, for public safety,literary or educational; and (2) not to involve the church in partisan political campaignsor substantial legislative activity.”

The presentation of this DOCUMENT reflects, to a great extent, our homegrowndocument which may be seen as a comprehensive piece of work now called:

©THE PENTECOSTAL GOSPEL TEMPLE CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS.

There are also the Articles of Association (AA) and theMemorandum of Association (MA) and various records of BOARD POLICY DECISIONSwhich can be referred to from time to time, which form the formal institutional policiesof the church. The AA and MA are the legal documents which incorporate the church asa non-profit Company or Organization which is a statutory requirement by TheCompanies of Jamaica in order to recognize the Pentecostal Gospel Temple as aCorporate Entity with limited liability.

The production of this CONSTITUTION and BY-LAWS went through the following stages:

ARTICLE II

FAITH AND DOCTRINE

PREAMBLEAs a body of Born Again Believers, we embrace and subscribe to thefollowing fundamentals predicated on Biblical principles with respect to

2

the tenets of worship, discipline, rules, regulations, rituals, ceremoniesand practices for spiritual and secular Guidance, utilizing the King JamesVersion as the foundation for our Christian teachings and beliefs.

We believe the Bible to be inspired of God, the infallible Word of God."All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable fordoctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"(2 Timothy 3:16).

The Bible is the only God-given authority which man possesses;therefore, all doctrine, faith, hope, and all instruction for the churchmust be based upon, and harmonize with, the Bible. It is to be read andstudied by all men everywhere, and can only be clearly understood bythose who are anointed by the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:27)."... No prophecyof the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy camenot in old time by the will of man: but Holy men of God spake as theywere moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:20, 21).

Section 1. The Scriptures Inspired. The Bible is the inspired word ofGod, a revelation from God to man, the infallible rule of faith andconduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary toreason. (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Heb. 4:12). The Gospel is thegood news of salvation for Jews and Gentiles through Jesus Christ, Hisvirgin birth, life, teachings, miracles, sufferings, death, burial,resurrection and ascension.

Section 2. The One True God. We believe in the one ever-living,eternal God: infinite in power, Holy in nature, attributes and purpose;

3

and possessing absolute, indivisible deity. This one true God hasrevealed Himself as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as theHoly Spirit, in regeneration. (1 Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:6; 2 Cor. 5:19; Joel 2:28).

The Scripture does more than attempt to prove the existence of God; itasserts and declares that the knowledge of God is universal. (Romans1:19, 20, 21, 28 to 32). God is invisible, incorporeal, without parts,without body, and therefore free from all limitations. He is Spirit (John4:24), and a spirit hath not flesh and bones. (Luke 24:39).

The first of all the commandments is, “Hear, O Israel; the Lord our Godis one Lord"(Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29 ;). "One God and Father of all, who isabove all, and through all, and in you all", (Eph. 4:6). This one true Godmanifested Himself in the Old Testament in divers ways; in the Sonwhile He walked among men; as the Holy Spirit after the ascension.

Section 3. The Son Of God, The one true God, the Jehovah of the OldTestament, took upon Himself the form of man, and as the Son of man,was born of the Virgin Mary. Paul says "And without controversy greatis the mystery of Godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified inthe Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in theworld, received up into glory" (1 Timothy 3:16). "He came unto His own,and His own received Him not" (John 1:11). This one true God wasmanifest in the flesh, that is, in His Son, Jesus Christ. ". . God was inChrist, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespassesunto them. . ." (2 Cor. 5:19). We believe that, ". . . in Him (Jesus)dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Col. 2:9). "For it pleasedthe Father, that in Him should all fulness dwell" (Col. 1:19).

4

Therefore, Jesus in His humanity was man; in His deity was and is God.His flesh was the lamb, or the sacrifice of God. He is the only mediatorbetween God and man. "For there is one God, and one mediatorbetween God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5).

Jesus on His Father's side was divine, on His mother's side, human;thus, He was known as the Son of God and also the Son of man, or theGod-man. "For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saithall things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, whichdid put all things under Him" (1 Cor. 15:27). "And when all things shallbe subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject untoHim that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all" (1 Cor.15:28). "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saiththe Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty"(Rev. 1:8).

Section 4. The Name - God used different titles, such as "God Elohim","El Shaddai", "Jehovah", and especially "Jehovah Lord", the redemptivename in the Old Testament. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a sonis given: ... and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, theMighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).This prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled when the Son of God was named,"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: forHe shall save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21). "Neither is theresalvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven givenamong men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

5

Section 5. Creation of Man, His Fall and Redemption. In the beginningGod created man innocent, pure and holy; but through the sin ofdisobedience, Adam and Eve, the first of the human race, fell from theirholy state, and God banished them from Eden. Hence by one man'sdisobedience, sin entered into the world. (Gen. 1:27; Rom. 3:23, 5:12).

Section 6. Repentance and Conversion. Pardon and forgiveness of sinsis obtained by genuine repentance, a confessing and forsaking of sins.We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). John theBaptist preached repentance, Jesus proclaimed it, and the Apostlesemphasized it to both Jews and Gentiles. (Acts 2:38, 11:18, 17:30).

The word "repentance" comes from several Greek words which mean,change of views and purpose, change of heart, change of mind, changeof life, to transform, etc. Jesus said, -“Except ye repent, ye shall alllikewise perish" (Luke 13:3). Luke 24:47 declares, "And that repentanceand remission of sins should be preached in His name among allnations, beginning at Jerusalem."

Section 7. The Salvation of Man.(a) Man’s Only Hope of Redemption is through the Shed

Blood of Jesus Christ. On the cross Jesus Christ becamesin for us, providing both salvation and divine healingfor all mankind (Psalm 103:3), “being justified freely byHis grace through the redemption that is in ChristJesus”. (For by grace we are saved through faithEphs.2:8). The word is nigh you, in your mouth and inyour heart-that is, the word of faith which we are

6

preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus asLord, and believe in your heart that God raised Himfrom the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heartman believes, resulting in righteousness, and with themouth confession is made resulting in salvation.(Romans 3:24; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:8-10).

(b) The Evidence of Salvation. The inward evidence to thebeliever of his salvation is the direct witness of the spirit(Romans 8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a lifeof righteousness and true holiness. “And this is Hiscommandment, that we believe in the name of his sonJesus Christ, and love one another, just as Hecommanded us” (1 John 3:23).

(c) Faith and Works. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christand not by human works; however, our works willdetermine the rewards in eternity (Romans 10: 9-11 andII Cor. 5:10).

(d) Holy Living – The characteristics of the saints(Tit. 2:11-12; 1Pet. 2:21-23)

Section 8. Baptism in Water. The ordinance of baptism by a burial withChrist should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all whomhave really repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ asSaviour and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they havedied with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk innewness of life (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47, 48; Romans 6:4). The

7

scriptural mode of baptism is immersion, and is only for those whohave fully repented, having turned from their sins and a love of theworld. It should be administered by a duly authorized minister of theGospel, in obedience to the Word of God, and in the name of JesusChrist, according to Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5; thus obeying andfulfilling Matthew 28:19.

Section 9. The Lord’s Supper. On the night of our Lord's betrayal, Heate the Passover supper with His Disciples, after which He instituted thesacrament. "And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, andgave unto them, saying, this is my body which is given for you: this do inremembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper saying, this cupis the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:19-20). Paul instructed the church how to observe it (I Cor. 11:23-34).Thus was instituted the use of literal bread and the fruit of the vine,which are partaken of literally, as emblems of His broken body andshed blood. There is also a spiritual significance and blessing inpartaking of the sacrament.

Section 10. Foot Washing. When the Passover supper was ended, weread in John 13:4-5, "He riseth from supper, and laid aside Hisgarments; and took a towel, and girded Himself. After that He pourethwater into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipethem with the towel wherewith He was girded." Jesus said, "If I then,your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to washone another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should doas I have done to you" (John 13:14-15).

8

This first example was given by our Lord, and it is a divine institution. Itis well to follow His example and wash one another's feet; thusmanifesting the spirit of humility.

Section 11. The Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. John theBaptist, in Matthew 3:11, said, "...He shall baptize you with the HolyGhost, and with fire." Jesus, in Acts 1:5, said, "...ye shall be baptizedwith the Holy Ghost not many days hence."

Luke tells us in Acts 2:4, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, andbegan to speak with other tongues (languages), as the Spirit gave themutterance. The terms "baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire," "filled withthe Holy Spirit," and the "gift of the Holy Ghost" are synonymous termsused interchangeably in the Bible. It is scriptural to expect all whoreceive the gift, infilling, or baptism of the Holy Spirit to receive thesame physical, initial sign of speaking with other tongues. The Lord,through the Prophet Joel, said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh;..." (Joel 2:28). Peter, in explaining this phenomenal experience, said,having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He (Jesus)hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear." (Acts 2:33). Further,"...The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afaroff, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Acts 2:39).

Section 12. The Church. The church is the body of Christ, the habitationof God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillmentof her great commission. All believers, born of the Spirit, are an integralpart of the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose namesare written in Heaven (Ephesians 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23).

9

Section 13. Wholeness and Prosperity.(a) Spiritual. John 3:3, 11; II Cor. 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10.(b) Mental. II Tim. 1:7; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3.(c) Physical. Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matt. 8:17; I Peter 2:24.(d) Financial. III John l: 2; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38;

II Cor. 9:6-10; Deut. 28:1-14.(e) Social. Proverbs 3:4.

Section 14. Divine Healing. The first covenant that the Lord (Jehovah)made with the children of Israel after they were brought out of Egyptwas a covenant of healing. The Lord said, ". . . if thou wilt diligentlyhearken to the voice of the Lord (Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord that healeth)thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear toHis commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of thesediseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I amthe Lord that healeth thee." (Exodus 15:26). Some translations read:"For I am Jehovah, thy physician," He being our physician or doctor, wehave the most capable in the whole world. Our Lord Jesus Christ wentabout Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing allmanner of sickness and disease among the people. (Matthew 4:23, 24)."Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever"(Hebrews 13:8). The vicarious suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ paidfor the healing of our bodies, the same as for the salvation of our souls,“for with His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5). Matthew 8:17 reads,“Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses” (See alsoI Peter 2:24). We see from this that divine healing for the body is in theatonement. That being true, then it is for all who believe. Jesus said of

10

believers, ". . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."Later, James wrote in his Epistle to all the churches: "Is any sick amongyou? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray overhim, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer offaith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he havecommitted sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one toanother, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectualfervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:14-16).

Section 15. The Lake of Fire. Those who have not accepted theredemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from theGodhead. The devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, andanyone, whose name was not found written in the book of life, shall beconsigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which burnswith brimstone. This is the second death. (Rev. 19:20; 20:10-15).

Section 16. The Grace of God. "For the grace of God that bringethsalvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denyingungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, andGodly, in this present world" (Titus 2:11,12). "For the law was given byMoses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).

A Christian, to keep saved, must walk with God and keep himself in thelove of God (Jude 21) and in the grace of God. The word "grace" means"favor." When a person transgresses and sins against God, he loses hisfavor. If he continues to commit sin and does not repent, he willeventually be lost and cast into the lake of fire. (Read John 15:2, 6;

11

2 Peter 2:20-21). Jude speaks of the backsliders of his day, and theirreward. (Also, read Hebrews 6:4-6). "For by grace are ye saved throughfaith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2:8).

Section 17. Conscientious Scruples. We recognize the institution ofhuman government as being of divine ordination, and, in so doing,affirm loyalty to our Government. As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ,the Prince of Peace, we believe in implicit obedience to Hiscommandments and precepts which instruct us as follows: "Followpeace with all men..." (Heb. 12:14). (See also Matt. 26:52; Rom. 12:19;James 5:6; Revelation 13:10). These we believe and interpret to meanChristians shall not shed blood nor take human life. Therefore, wepropose to fulfill all the obligations of loyal citizens, but are constrainedto declare against participating in armed insurrection, propertydestruction, aiding or abetting in or the actual destruction of humanlife. However, we regret the false impression created by some groupsor so-called "conscientious objectors" that to obey the Bible is to havecontempt for law or magistrates, to be disloyal to our Government andin sympathy with our enemies, or to be unwilling to sacrifice for thepreservation of our commonwealth. This attitude would be ascontemptible to us as to any patriot. The Word of God commands us todo violence to no man. It also commands us that first of all we are topray for rulers of our country and participate freely and willingly beingresponsive to the call of our Government in elections and civic duties.

Section 18. Fundamental Doctrine. The basic and fundamentaldoctrine of this organization shall be the Bible standard of full salvation,which is repentance, baptism in water by immersion in the name of the

12

Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the HolyGhost with the initial sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spiritgives utterance. We shall endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit untilwe all come into the unity of the faith, at the same time admonishingall brethren that they shall not contend for their different views to thedisunity of the body.

Section 19. The Second Coming of Jesus. That Jesus is coming againthe second time in person, just as He went away, is clearly set forth bythe Lord Jesus Himself, and was preached and taught in the earlyChristian church by the apostles; hence, the children of God today areearnestly, hopefully, looking forward to the glorious event. (Matt. 24;Acts 1:11, 3:19-21; 1 Cor. 11:26; Phil. 3:20-21; 1 Thess. 4:14-17;Titus 2:13, 14).

Section 20. The Translation of the Saints We believe that the time isdrawing near when our Lord shall appear; then the dead in Christ shallarise, and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up with them tomeet our Lord in the air. (1 Thess. 4:13-17; 1 Cor. 15:51-54;Phil. 3:20-21).

Section 21. The Millennium Moreover, we believe that the distressupon the earth is the "beginning of sorrows" and will become moreintense until there "shall be a time of trouble such as there never wassince there was a nation even to that same time" (Matthew 24:3-8,Dan. 12:1), and that period of "tribulation" will be followed by thedawn of a better day on earth and that for a thousand years there shall

13

be "peace on earth and good will toward men." (Rev. 20:1-5; Isa. 65:17-25; Matt. 5:5; Dan. 7:27; Mic. 4:1, 2; Heb. 2:14; Rom. 11:25-27).

Section 22. Final Judgment When the thousand years are finished,there shall be a resurrection of all the dead, who will be summonedbefore the great white throne for their final judgment, and all whosenames are not found written in the Book of Life shall be cast into thelake of fire, burning with brimstone which God bath prepared for theDevil and his angels, Satan himself being cast in first.(Matt.25:41; Rev. 20:7, 15; 21:8).

Section 23. One God in Christ JesusGOD - There is only ONE GOD; the Creator of the heavens and the earthand of all mankind, manifested to mankind as FATHER (creator), SON(Savior), and HOLY GHOST (indwelling Spirit) (Romans 8:11). God is bynature, a spirit (John 4:24)

FATHER - God is a Spirit (John 4:24), the Eternal One, the Creator of allthings; and of course, of all men, thus making Him their Father (throughcreation). He is the First and the Last and beside Him there is no other.(Isaiah 44:6). There was no God formed BEFORE Him, neither shallthere be after Him. The title “Father” used by Jesus refers to Deity.

SON - Jesus is the SON of God according to the flesh (Romans 1:3), andthe very God Himself according to the Spirit. Jesus is the Christ (Matt.1:23); God made flesh (John 1:1-14); God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim3:16); He which was, which is, and which is to come. THE ALMIGHTY(Rev. 1:8; Isaiah 9; 6). To this Jesus Himself testified when he said, “He

14

that hath seen me hath seen the father” (John 14: 7-11); and “I and theFather are ONE” (John 10:30).

Since it took the shedding of blood for the remission of sins of theworld (Hebrews 9:22), God as the Father being a Spirit had no blood toshed; so he prepared a body of flesh and blood (Hebrews 10:5), that Hemight fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 43:11; “Beside ME there is noSAVIOUR”; and caused the angels to sing “For there is born this day inthe city of David, a SAVIOUR which is CHRIST THE LORD”. Hebrews 1:3refers to Jesus as “the express image of [God’s] person”. No wonderJesus could say “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John14:9). The title Son, used by Jesus Christ, and by Deity (such as at theJordan Baptism) refers to humanity.

Section 24. Holiness - Godly living should characterize the life of everychild of the Lord, and we should live according to the pattern andexample given in the Word of God. "For the grace of God that bringethsalvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denyingungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, andGodly, in this present world" (Titus 2:11,12). "For even hereunto were yecalled: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, thatye should follow His steps: who did no sin, neither was 'guile found inHis mouth: who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when Hesuffered, He threatened not; but committed himself to Him that judgethrighteously" (1 Peter 2:21-23). "Follow peace with all men, and holiness,without which no man shall see the Lord" (Heb. 12:14). "But as Hewhich hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner ofconversation; because it is written, be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye

15

call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according toevery man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptiblethings, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received bytradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of alamb without blemish and without spot" (1Peter 1:15-19). Wewholeheartedly disapprove of our people indulging in any activitieswhich are not conducive to good Christianity and Godly living, such asany apparel that immodestly exposes the body, and unwholesomeradio, television programmes and music, etc. We admonish all of ourpeople to refrain from any such practice in the interest of spiritualprogress and the soon coming of the Lord for His church.

Section 25. The Holy Ghost - The HOLY GHOST is not the third personin the Godhead, but rather the manifestation of the Spirit of God (theCreator), and of the resurrected Christ, coming to dwell in the heartsand lives of all men who will be obedient to the gospel, and theComforter, Sustainer, and the Keeper (John 14: 16-26; Romans 8:11).When we use the title “Holy Ghost” after the Day of Pentecost (or whenJesus used it referring ahead to this era), it is referring to the immanentGod, who works in human lives for regeneration BY that spirit sincePentecost. So there are not three GODS, or persons, but threemanifestations of ONE GOD who we know by the revealed face of God,Jesus Christ, God in Flesh. “These three are one” (1 John 5:7) we placeemphasis on the use of the words “name of” from Matt. 28...

Section 26. Restitution of All Things We understand the scripture toteach the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth

16

of all His holy prophets since the world began. (Acts 3:21). But wecannot find where the devil, his angels, and all sinners are included.(See Rev. 20:10).

Section 27. Marriage - Marriage is God-ordained. God’s design formarriage goes back to mankind's beginning, when He made them maleand female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father andmother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’(Matthew 19:4,5). The family, as God’s means of propagating Hiscreation, grows out of this primary human relationship.

The marriage relationship encompasses the deepest unity of man andwoman in its social and physical expressions. The first woman wasdeclared to be a suitable helper for the man (Genesis 2:18), the perfectcomplement (Genesis 2:23). God intended them to share both blessingsand responsibilities. Mutual esteem and self-giving love strengthen themarriage relationship. God intended this physical, emotional,intellectual, and spiritual union to be focused on one partner only.

Marriage is to be an exclusive relationship, a lifelong faithful unionwith one’s spouse. "What God has joined together, let man notseparate" (Matthew 19:6). The Old Testament recognized the existenceof polygamy (marriage to multiple partners), but still declared thatmonogamy (marriage to one partner) was the ideal (Psalms 128:3,Proverbs 5:18; 31:10-29; Ecclesiastes 9:9). "Lifelong" means monogamyand sexual fidelity until the death of one partner. Sexual expressionwith more than one partner violates the holiness of biblical marriageand thus is sin in God's sight.

17

Marriage is a covenant, a solemn binding agreement made before Godand man. The religious ceremony of the wedding before church andcommunity emphasizes that marriage is more than a legal agreementbetween two individuals. The church has a responsibility to support andnurture the marriage that has been affirmed by public vows.

Ideally, the relationship between husband and wife should parallel therelationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:23-30). Thehusband should love his wife "as Christ loved the church and gavehimself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25). The wife should submit to herhusband as the Church should submit to the Lord (Ephesians 5:22-24).But it is a misreading of Scripture, however, to conclude that thehusband can become dictatorial. The entire passage is introduced bythe admonition, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ"(Ephesians 5:21). It is only after each spouse submits one to anotherfrom a heart of love that the head/submission relationship will work.The husband has special responsibility for the spiritual leadership andwelfare of the wife and family (Psalms 78:5-8, Ephesians 5:23). Whilethe woman has responsibility as a parent, God has called the husbandto be the leader in the home. The woman is not inferior to the man.Both have full dignity and equal standing before God. Strong spiritualtraining is essential for children to develop spiritually (Proverbs 22:6).

A happy and complete marriage is realized as both partners makeChrist the centre of their marriage relationship. With Christ as thehead, the marriage has an excellent chance to succeed.

Section 28. Tithing - We believe tithing is God's financial plan toprovide for His work, and has been since the days of Abraham. Tithing

18

came with faith under Abraham, Moses' law enjoined it, and Israelpracticed it when she was right with God; Jesus endorsed it (Matt.23:23); and Paul said to lay by in store as God has prospered you. Donot rob God of His portion, viz., tithes and offerings (Read Mal. 3).

Section 29. Public School Activities We disapprove of school studentsengaging in school activities against their religious scruples, andwearing attire which immodestly exposes the body. We disapprove ofschool students being forced to take any classes in which, under theguise of health classes, sex education is taught coeducationally or filmsor lectures are given that promote immoral or unnatural behaviour.

Section 30. Secret Societies, Etc. According to the Word of God, wefirmly believe and hold that the people of God should have noconnection whatever with secret societies or any other organization orbody wherein there is a fellowship with unbelievers, bound by an oath.(James 5:12; 2 Cor. 6:14-18).
