The Denominational and Doctrinal Position of the Bible Institute
T he Bible Institu te does not antagonize any evangelical denominati on, but seeks to cooperate with them all. It has no purpose or thought of fo rm ing a new denomination. T he Institute recognizes and r ejo;ces in the g reat good that is being accomplished by t he churches of the different denominat ions, and seeks to help them to do even more eff ici ent work. It desires and cultivates the fe ll owship and co-operati on of all the evangeli cal denominati ons and of indi vidual believers in all the churches . ·whi le there is a church worshipping on t he Lord' s Day in the Auditori um of the Bible I nstitute, that church is an entirely sepa rate organiza ti on, and t he Inst itute does not requi re nor expect that students coming to the Inst i tute will become members of that church.

Fa;lure to insist upon the promu lgat ion of these truths, or the permi ss ion of t eaching contrary to this statement o f belief, would constitute g round fo r suit for the reversion of the money contributed to the or iginal donors or heirs.
