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. ARTICLE II. SECTION I. The board shall be called the Presbytery Board of the Independent Church of God the Black Jews, and it shall be the duty of the board during the assembly meeting to recommend all ministers that have been ordained since the last assembly meeting, and to adjust all errors and to empower to discommunicate. SECTION II. We also demand by the word of God, that every member of each tabernacle, both great and small, to bring all the tithes into the storehouse, or “Will a man rob God?” Mal. 13; 8:10. SECTION III. There shall be for all the subordinate tabernacles a Sabbath School, and a Sabbath School Fund, and there shall be one teacher, one secretary and one bag carrier of each tabernacle. SECTION IV. No minister or member shall have power to dictate to an Elder in charge of a tabernacle or to instruct members, except when called upon or by permission of the Elder. When anyone has become a member of the Independent Church of God the Black Jews of the Judean Tribe of Israel, no one has a right to erase his or her name from the church records, as God himself will attend to that, in due time if necessary. SECTION V. We further recommend that the Bishop or Bishops have, in the absence of the assembly, power to ordain Elders, or dismiss any that preach not the doctrine of Christ Jesus our Lord. SECTION VI. The Bishops shall have power to appoint Evangelists and send ministers to their respective tabernacles. They also shall state the different districts for the evangelists. The fourteenth day of April shall be the Feast of the Passover. The ministers of God shall teach the principal things that pertain to our salvation. _The Independent Church of God_
