There is great positive value in cooperating with other congregations on the conditions that they all share a common commitment:
-To love God with all their hearts, minds and strength, and to love one another as Christ loved them.
-To the Gospel.
-To the fundamental Baptist
distinctives such as Regenerate church membership, Believers' baptism,
congressional baptist polity, church discipline, Lord's Supper as solemn
remembrance of the Lord, religious freedom, and separation of church
and state.
-To serve together in the execution of the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20).
The topmost primordial prerequisite
for a most fruitful God-pleasing and God-glorifying cooperative endeavor
among Baptist congregations is loving God absolutely and one another sacrificially unto death (Matt 22:36-40; John 13:34-35; 15:12,17; 1 John 3:16).
