Code of Conduct and Ethics
All members of our organization solemnly declare, comply, and abide to the following sets of rules and guidelines:
- Agree and willingly accept all terms and conditions fundamentally listed on our website: “BareInChrist.org”. All members are obligated to read, comply, and agree to “Mission”, “Beliefs”, and “Commitment”.
- Show evidence of acceptance of our Lord Jesus Christ as personal savior with a “Certificate of Baptism” as a solemn commitment. (Jesus chose to be baptized by Apostle John to provide us a guiding light).
- Provide testimonials of how each member went about receiving Christ as their personal savior. Document each member's spiritual journey in a form of storytelling or an archive of personal experience with Christ (this is where it will help shine best in terms of demonstrating our commitment to Christ). Along the way, members are opting to describing their thoughts on how they view naturism/nudism as an ideal fit to the practice of their faith in Christianity.
- In [John 14:6], Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. All members are committed to serve Christ only, because salvation we have received was bought with a hefty price, a price that costs Christ's sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary, and Jesus' resurrection from death, signifying a triumph over all sins that human kind has ever committed.
- We faithfully admit that God is Love. Simply because without Love, there is essentially nothing left. According to [1 Corinthians 13:2]: it says: “If I have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing”.
- We solemnly dedicate our life to Christ. In [Matthew 16:25], Jesus said: “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will find eternal life”.
- We do not intend to be labeled as some kind of cult denomination; as naturism/nudism is not well received or accepted in conventional church environment. This is, precisely more than ever, what we need to affirm to ourselves that we conduct our lifestyle very much complying to God’s original creation plan. We therefore solemnly pledge allegiance and make this practice as our call of duty. We believe that the return of our initial innocent form of facing God in bare nakedness is not just the ultimate desirable state, but also the inevitable outcome amidst the return of Christ. Our unique lifestyle is a reflective of our faith as much as a metaphor inspired by [Gospel of Thomas: 37]: His disciples said, “When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?”, Jesus said: “When you disrobe without being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid”.
- Our mission from God is to nurture and spread the Gospel with the message of Christ to naturist/nudist communities, according to the way Christ deems appropriate, on occasions and in places determined by God, navigating circumstances according to principle outlined in the Scripture, the Words of God, and according to Book of Acts, etc.
- As members of this organization, we are dedicated to share our responsibilities to respond to prayer requests coming from online demands. We believe in participating group prayer as Christ commanded us in [Matthew 18:19-20]: Jesus said: “Truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them”.
- Study the Words of God. All members are committed to participate in some form of Bible Study, whether it's in a teaching leadership role, or simply as a student role, depending on their ability gifted by God. Training can be provided through participating in our regular fellowship sessions.
- We encourage investigative spiritual awakening by exploring legitimate doctrines in Christianity, such as: Old Testament, New Testament, Gospel of Thomas, or any historical scrolls related to Christ teachings that have been missing and found in historical records based on archeological findings.
- Depart ourselves from all satanic doctrines and evil teachings. Turn ourselves away from all evils in order to receive God’s true blessings. According to [Malachi 3:7], God said: “Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you”. Also in [Malachi 3:9], said the Lord Almighty: “You are under a curse - your whole nation - because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it”.
- We agree to exercise discernment and practice safe-guard against spiritual deception. As Jesus sermon on the Mount in [Matthew 7:15-20], Christ used the phrase “wolf in sheep's clothing” to warn followers to beware of false prophets who appear righteous but are inwardly destructive, like ravenous wolves disguised as harmless sheep, identifiable by their harmful “fruits” of actions, not their outward appearance. Urging believers to judge leaders by their deeds, not their words or guise, to protect the flock from harm.
