Chapter II: Section XI

Every member of each tabernacle shall bring his tithes if possible on the first day of the week at the close of the Sabbath, as it is written in, 1 Cor. 16; 1:2. Shall a man rob God? Mal. 3; 8:10:11, and all the tithes Lev. 27; 20:32, Jesus said, “If ye are Abraham’s children you will do the works of Abraham.” St. John 8:39. Don’t forget God’s tithes if you want to prosper in this life and in the life to come. For we must support the Gospel from the store house. Mal. 3; 10, and if you love God you will also love his cause, and in this way you will help God’s ministers to preach the gospel to every creature throughout the world.

_Instructions to Ministers_

All ministers shall follow these instructions when receiving members into the Church of God; the members about to be received must first make a confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, then be baptized by burial into water, then receive the unleaven bread and water for Christ’s body and blood, then have their feet washed by the minister, taught how to pray, then breathed upon the forehead, then saluted into the church with a holy kiss first by the Elders and afterwards by the whole church.
