Present Day Concerns

We encourage each Alliance congregation to develop written positions, policies, and statements of encouragement on all pertinant contemporary issues; however, certain issues of Alliance-wide interest will result in proposals for consideration and adoption by the Alliance such as the following:

A. All conduct and practice of the ordinances must fully complement the principles of Scripture.

B. Divorce and remarriage is outside the will of God and thus unacceptable.

C. God's gift of sex is to be reserved only for marriage. All forms of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexualty, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions.

D. Human life is a special gift of God. Abortion constitutes the inexcusable taking of unborn human life-thus it is murder. This includes termination of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, birth or population control, or the mental well-being of the mother. Infanticide and euthanasia including assisted suicide are also to be recognized as murder.

E. The personal appearance of the true Christian believer must present a clear witness of Biblical teachings in such matters as modest apparel, gender distinctions, simplicity, man's unveiled head and short hair and woman's veiled head and long hair.
