Rules of Conduct of The Apostolic Church

1. Never come to the House of God without praying before coming [Matt 6:6, Eph 6:18]

2. Be in your seat at the commencement of the service, you will be a good example to those who are late and neglectful [Gen 22:3, Psalm 108:2, Proverbs 8:17, Songs of Solomon 7:12

3. Bring your children with you to the House of God. Relatives and servants also have souls. It is your duty and privilege to take care of them. [Matt 19:14, Exodus 20:10, Acts 10:24, John 1:41-45, Gen 18:19]

4. Make your Pastor your personal friend. His sympathy, support and counsel are needed by you. Constantly pray for him. [1 Thessalonians 2:7, Joel 2:17, Matt 2:7, Rom 15:30, 11 Corinthians 1:11, Eph 6:19, Heb 13:17]

5. Make the church your spiritual home [Acts 2:46-47]

6. When conversing on the hearths, never speak disrespectfully or criticizing of God's servants or their ministrations in the presence of your children. If you sow the wind, you may expect to reap the whirlwind [Gal 6:7, Proverbs 22:8, Hosea 8:7]

7. Enter reverently: pray feverently, listen attentively, give praise from a grateful heart, and worship God in the Beauty of Holiness [Ps 118:27-29, Eccl 5:1, Rom 12:11, James 1:19] "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise, be thankful unto Him and bless His name" - Ps 100:4
