Biblical Ethics
Policy Statement
-
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving
one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven
you.” Ephesians 4:32
-
“
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then
take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be established.” Matthew 18:15&16.
As a or BCA Member or BCA Certified Member of the BCA you will
uphold biblical ethics in life and practice when difficulties
arise between your respective faith based Bible consulting ministries
by applying the Scripture verses above as follows:
Step 1.
A. “Moreover
if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him
his fault between thee and
him alone: if
he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”
B. A true Christian will hear and admit their offence in the
spirit of meekness and seek forgiveness and resolution which
shall cause the trespassed party to gain their brother.
If the BCA member does not admit their offence the
offended member may ask the BCA to select a neutral
party that will go with them the second
time they approach the BCA member that trespassed against them.
The BCA neutral party shall seek to use Bible
principles to bring the matter to a biblical resolution.
The BCA is not the
church and therefore does not have church authority to
resolve
the matter.
All affected BCA Certified Members and BCA
Members shall follow the biblical admonitions stated above.
The BCA may upon consultation with appointed
neutral party in egregious situations have to suspend
BCA Certified Member or BCA Member status until the matter is biblically
resolved.
Any BCA Certified Member or BCA Member may
appeal a decision made under Step 5. to the Executive
Board of the BCA. An Executive Board member shall recuse himself
or herself
if his/her faith based Bible consulting ministry
is involved in either side of the dispute. Recognizing that there
may be a humanly irreconcilable situation we would have to regretfully
agree that the decision of the Executive Board will be final.
NOTE: The B CA biblical ethics policy shall not
be construed in any way, shape, or form to mandate that BCA
Certified Member or BCA Member faith based Bible consulting
ministries will
be required to accept consultees from each other.
The BCA will always support the sovereign right of each faith
based Bible consulting
ministries to determine transfer consultees they
will or will not accept.
