All ministers shall follow these instructions when receiving members into the Church of God; the members about to be received must first make a confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, then be baptized by burial into water, then receive the unleaven bread and water for Christ’s body and blood, then have their feet washed by the minister, taught how to pray, then breathed upon the forehead, then saluted into the church with a holy kiss first by the Elders and afterwards by the whole church.
Section XII.
We believe that every one that has confessed Jesus Christ by regeneration of heart, who desires to eat of the Lord’s body and drink of his blood, has a right to eat at the Lord’s table. 1 Cor. 11:28, Mark 14:14.
Section XIII.
We believe that it is a sin for the righteous to help the ungodly, to do anything in the name of the Synagogue of Satan. Job 8:20, Acts 17; 23:26.
Section XIV.
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and that none go to heaven or to burning hell until after the resurrection and general judgment. Job 13; 14:17, Psalms 115; 17.
Section XV.
The Bishops and Evangelists and the Presbytery when assembled have the only rights to ordain an Elder.
