12. THE VIRGIN BIRTH

Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Ghost in a miraculous manner; He was born of Mary, a virgin, as no other man was ever born or can ever be born of woman. He is both the Son of God and God the Son.

13. CHURCH SEPARATION

As a local, independent, fundamental Church, the church is commanded to be separated from all forms of worldliness, apostasy and religious inclusivism.

The church should reject the Charismatic-led ecumenical movement which is seeking to join all churches into one body regardless of Bible doctrine or practice. The church should also reject the practice of the Charismatic renewal movement with its unscriptural emphasis on unknown tongues, personal experiences as a base for unity and false healings ministries which are emphasized over sound Bible teaching.

The local, independent, fundamental, Church should enjoy fellowship with churches of like faith, order and separation standards, but should have no part in any council of churches that is ecumenical in nature or thrust.
