What rules or standards are required of members?

Christianity is certainly not a religion based primarily on conformity to rules. Paul warns about overemphasis on "submitting to regulations" in Colossians 2:23. Human doctrines and rules, he says, "have an appearance of wisdom in promoting rigor of devotion..but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh." The Bible does contain positive and negative commands from God, and we expect that Christians who have chosen to follow Christ will obey His authority gladly and voluntarily. We do not require that our members submit to rules based on human opinions or personal applications of what the Bible says.
