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.
  • You have voluntarily chosen to become a BCA Bible Consultant to mutually serve and protect the freedom to provide quality faith based Bible consulting pursuant to God’s leading and direction for your respective ministries.
  • You recognize that each of you has the common God given purpose and mission to practice the pursuit of faith based Bible consulting through the word of God to impact the world in accordance with your doctrinal persuasion.
  • You have acknowledged that the Authorized Version 1611 King James Bible shall be the standard for all truth and justice establishing principles to provide ethical principles for life and practice among our BCA Bible Consultant Members (See BCA Doctrinal Statement Notes).


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.


Step 2.

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.

Step 3.

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.

Step 4.

All affected BCA Certified Members and BCA Members shall follow the biblical admonitions stated above.

Step 5.

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.

Step 6.

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.
