The Christian's reasonable service of worship is to become a disciple of Christ, living in a manner worthy of his high calling in Christ. It is the obligation and privilege of every believer to witness by life and by word to the truths of Scripture and to seek to promote the Gospel in all the world. It is the responsibility of all believers to remember the work of the Lord in prayer and to support it with their financial resources as the Lord has prospered them (Acts 1:8; Romans 12:1–2; 14:13; 1 Corinthians 5:9–13; 16:2; 2 Corinthians 5:20; 6:14–7:1; 9:7; Philippians 2:1–11; 1 John 2:6).
We believe the following principles are to be followed for proper conduct where doubtful things, that is, things not specifically addressed in the Bible, exist:
The ultimate goal of the Holy Spirit's work in the believer's life is to produce spiritual maturity reflected in consistent Christlike attitudes and behavior that glorify God (Galatians 5:22–25; Colossians 1:23–29). Obedience to the Word of God, therefore, while not necessary for obtaining eternal salvation from Hell, is the essential responsibility of each Christian (Romans 6:12–23; 1 Corinthians 2:14–3:4; Hebrews 5:13–14). The Bible does not teach that obedience will be manifested to the same degree in all believers. If a believer does not yield to the ministry of the Holy Spirit in his or her experience, failure will result. This will be evidenced by sinful acts or even prolonged disobedience (1 Corinthians 10:1–13; Galatians 5:16–21). The Bible labels this failure carnality, or living that is characterized by the control of the flesh, during which the believer looks no different than the unbeliever (1 Corinthians 3:1–4). God responds to carnal behavior with divine discipline (Hebrews 12:4–13), which may come in degrees, even to physical death (1 Corinthians 11:30).
