The Sinners Hospital believes that Jesus Christ commanded the Church to obey and observe certain ordinances of worship. [John 8:31][I Corinthians 11:2] Commonly practiced is the ordinance of full immersion baptism, of all believers of Jesus Christ [Matthew 28:19]. The ordinance of communion among all those who believe in Jesus, after refection of our sins, for the purpose of remembering Jesus Christ until His return, while not all gathered together in one place, as a congregation. [I Corinthians 11:25-27][I Corinthians 11:20].
The ordinance of headship, God the Father being the head of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, being the head of the man, and the man being the head of the woman [I Corinthians 11:2-3]. To honor the ordinance of headship, men are to cut their hair short, while women are to strive to have long hair, because God defines a woman's long hair as a covering [I Corinthians 11:15], or a woman can also shave her head bald [I Corinthians 11:6], as there is no other practice among true Christian leadership, or the Churches of God. [I Corinthians 11:4-5][I Corinthians 11:16] Likewise women who reject this ordinance, will disqualify their husbands from holding the title of "angels" or leader (See Revelation 2 & 3), within the Church, as we know that if a man can not rule well over his own house ( including his wife ), how then can he take care of the Church of God? [I Corinthians 11:10][I Timothy 3:5]
Plus, placed upon the leadership of the church is the ordinance to prepare both an orderly means for prophesy, and an orderly means for revelation, that Christian men, and only men, are to use for the purpose of edification, accountability, and comfort, according to the Scriptures, during the preaching of sermons within the church. [I Corinthians 14:29-40] |
