The Denominational and Doctrinal Position of the Bible Institute
T he B ible Institute does not antago ni ze any evangeli cal denominati on, but seeks to cooperate with them all . It has no purpose or thought of fo rming a new denominati on. The Institute recogni zes and r ejo;ces in the g reat good that is bei ng accomplished by the churches of the different denominations, and seeks to help them to do e\·en more eff icient work. It des ires and cul tivates the fe ll owship and co-operati on of all the evangelical denomination s and of indiv idual believer s in all the churches . , ,vh;le there is a church worsh ipping on the Lord 's Day in the Auditorium · of th e Bible Inst itute, that church is an entirely separate organi zat ion, and the Institute does not require nor expect that students coming to the Insti tute will become membe rs of that chu rch . T he church is open to those who desi re to become member s of it, but it ·is expect ed that the students of th e Bible l11stitute 7.11"/l be loyal lo the de no111i11ation to ·which they belong .
