Having been brought by divine grace to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior; and having been baptized by immersion, upon confession of faith, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we do now most joyfully and solemnly enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
We therefore engage as the Holy Spirit shall enable us, to walk together in brotherly love; to exercise Christian care and watchfulness over one another; to participate in one another’s joys; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation; to consider how to provoke one another to love and good works; and to forsake not the assembling of ourselves together.
We further engage to strive for the advancement of Cornerstone Baptist Church in grace, knowledge, and holiness; to promote its spirituality; to maintain unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; to sustain its worship, ordinances, and doctrines; and to contribute to the financial support of the ministries of the church.
We further engage to maintain family and private devotions; to bring up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; to seek the salvation of our family and friends; and to avail ourselves of the great privilege of prayer for one another and all men.
And we further engage to walk circumspectly and watchfully in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to refrain from gossip, complaining, and excessive anger; to maintain a clear line of separation from all religious apostasy and all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices and associations; and ever remembering our relationship to Jesus Christ our Lord, to seek amidst evil report a good report, to live to His glory.
