But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. (James 1:22 NKJ)

We are convinced that true Christianity is a way of life. We are also convinced, that the acceptance and practice of basic biblical rules (or life-values) - mentioned below - are a natural consequence of confessing the true faith.


Here are the rules, which are the basis of our lives and our service:


I.    God is Creator, the highest King and the Lord of all the universe.

True Christianity means submitting ourselves to God and accepting His rule over every part of our lives. That is why submission to civil authorities is always secondary. A Christian’s obedience to God is of primary importance. But human authorities are ordained by God, and therefore should be acknowledged by Christians. God requires from human rulers that they act justly, protecting those citizens who follow God’s laws and punishing those who break them. Christians should respect and be obedient to earthly rulers.

II.    Human life from its beginning is protected by God.

Human life commences at conception. All means of contraception that destroy fertilized human cells or makes use of them in a way that hinder its growth into fully developed human being are sin. Abortion, euthanasia and suicide are also contrary to God’s will.

III.    God created human beings as men and women.

Men and women have equal dignity and value because both are created in God's image and likeness. However they do differ in distinctive gifts and functions. The function of maternity is an example of the unique calling of women. An example of the unique calling of man is leadership in his family and in the church.

IV.    Marriage is a union between a man and woman based upon a given promise of faithfulness.

Sexual relationships are to be confined to marriage and marital fidelity is to be expected from Christians. Sex outside of marriage is a sin. Divorce and remarriage are not God's way of dealing with marital problems. A marriage is a relationship between man and woman alone. The practice of homosexual relationships is a sin.

V.     The Church is submitted to God's rule.

The Church submits to the rule of God and is called to preach the Gospel and to live according to the teachings of Christ, no matter what the current trends and laws of society might be. In preaching God's Word and in organizing its life the Church is not dependent in any way on civil authorities and responds to God alone.
