In
all spiritual matters man must LOOK ON CHRIST, who is the head of the Church.
The
Gospel is the power of God for salvation without the aid of the secular
authority ( Rome 1.16, 1 Cor. 1.18 ), so
the preachers of God should not weaken people's posts to become Christians and
can only convince ( 2 Cor 5.11, Acts 11.4 ).
Christ
promised before the end of the time to be with the Church and led her by the
Holy Spirit ( Matt 28,19-20; John 14.16-17, 26 ).
The
duty of the Church to instruct and to exclude unruly members, but not to do
more than anything ( Matt 18.15-17, Titus 3.10-11, 1 Cor 5.1,12-13 ).
The
Church should not refer to the secular authorities to resolve church
matters ( 1 Cor 6.1-18 ).
Christians have the
right to apply to the Civil Rights Act, if the civil power comes to them not by
the law ( Acts 16.35-39, 24.22-28 ).
