Basis of Membership
While recognizing that each Church and Christian agency or organization has its own basis or order and doctrine, all members of the Council shall accept the following doctrinal statement as a declaration of their essential spiritual unity:
a) The full Members are united in confessing the faith to which the Church has ever witnessed in One Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, worshiping the Father revealed to the world in Jesus Christ by the Power of the Holy Spirit, owing obedience to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as the Way, Truth and the Life, trusting in the guidance of the Holy spirit, proclaiming Christ's atoning death and resurrection, salvation by grace through faith and regeneration by the Power of the Holy Spirit, and labouring for advancement of God's Kingdom throughout the world until Christ comes again.
b) The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as being God's revelation of Himself to the world, containing all things necessary for salvation and are supreme and decisive standards of faith and conduct to which all teachings and all creeds and confessions are subordinate.
c) The Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed as historical confessions giving a true response and witness to the Word of God and safeguarding the faith continuously confirmed in her spiritual experience throughout the ages.
d) The Athanasian Creed as giving a true exposition of the Trinitarian faith.
e) The confessions of the reformation as valuable for interpreting the teaching of the scripture.
