<<Foot Washing - Since Jesus did not wash the disciples' feet in public, in the Temple or Synagogue, and since there is no Scriptural reference to it other than as a common custom, we believe He was giving us an example of Love and Humility. (
Luke 22: 24 -27;
John 13:12-15 ;
I Timothy 5:10) Hence; we do not support the practice of washing feet in public as a church ordinance.>>
M'kay.
<<Moral Standard - We believe in the highest possible standard of moral living,>>
Highest
possible standard? M'kay...
<<<
therefore we do not tolerate the Doctrine of Free Love...>>
...as if to show how "highest possible" we are, let's contrast it to something fairly low, something not even on most people's radars.
