To Be In Christ Is The Source

The Grace Of God Exalts A Man Without Inflating Him, And Humbles A Man Without Debasing Him.

A Christian Is One Who Recognizes Jesus As The Christ, The Son Of The Living God, As God Manifested In The Flesh, Loving Us And Dying For Our Redemption; And Who Is So Affected By A Sense Of The Love Of This Incarnate God As To Be Constrained To Make The Will Of Christ The Rule Of His Obedience, And The Glory Of Christ The Great End For Which He Lives.

It Is Only When Men Associate With The Wicked With The Desire And Purpose Of Doing Them Good, That They Can Rely Upon The Protection Of God To Preserve Them From Contamination.

The Independent Or Congregational Theory Includes Two Principles; First, That The Governing And Executive Power In The Church Is In The Brotherhood; And Secondly, That The Church Organization Is Complete In Each Worshipping Assembly, Which Is Independent Of Every Other.

If The Church Is A Living Body United To The Same Head, Governed By The Same Laws, And Pervaded By The Same Spirit, It Is Impossible That One Part Should Be Independent Of All The Rest.
