We believe:

The Words of Jesus should be the final authority for formulating rules and developing criteria of conduct in the Christian community. See John 12:48.

The Holy Spirit has never and will never differ with the Words of Jesus. See John 14:15-26.

The Christian community needs unity. See John 17:20-23 and Matthew 23:8-12.

Accepting the precepts and utilizing the Words of Jesus offers hope of achieving that unity. Of course, using His words would bring unity with Jesus also.
