  1. We will be careful about accepting new members. This ensures that those who have truly experienced regeneration join the body of Christ.<\/li>\n
  2. Ask all who wish to become members of the church to explain how they understand the Gospel. This confirms faith and understanding of the central message of salvation.<\/li>\n
  3. We will examine whether there are any areas of hidden and unrepentant sin. True conversion is accompanied by a desire for holiness and repentance.<\/li>\n
