Beliefs and Rules of Frontier Ministry

Statement of Faith:

Members have a faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and as the full visible manifestation of the invisible God. There is only one God. No other god or thing in earth or beyond earth is to ever be worshipped.

All members are to repent, be baptized in "the name of the Lord Jesus", for the remission of sins as commanded by Apostle Peter in the book of Acts, in Acts 2:38, and they are promised to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

To receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in one's life is shown through the speaking of tongues, and is to be verified by others in the church, and/or upon the initial experience and testimony of the seeking member themselves if it occurred when they were alone.

The godhead is

God as:

Father in creation

Son in redemption

The Holy Spirit in the church

No usage of illegal drugs or marijuana (or a synthetic variant)

No lifestyle of consuming alcohol or perception altering substances that would cause inebriation

No undergoing psychiatry unless ordered by a medical doctor or by the state

TV and movies should generally be avoided

Non-Christian music and podcasts should be generally avoided, unless they pertain to current events and opinion about local or current events that affect the members' lives directly

TV, movies, media, and music that exhibit and promote ungodly ideas and that show illicit scenes, imagery, and other illicit materials should be avoided.

No participation in any form of divination, witchcraft, fortune-telling, astrology, esoteric belief systems, masonic temple beliefs or affiliations, numerology, seances, or any other type of ungodly forms of spiritual ceremonialism or activity that is contrary to the Bible.

Fornication, adultery, gay lifestyles, "trans" or "non-binary" lifestyles, pedophilia, and bestiality are strictly prohibited for all members. If a member joins and has "transitioned" their gender, they are to transition themselves back to their original gender if it is all within their means to do so and within medical ability.

No non-Judeo-Christian form of meditation or yoga is to ever be practiced.

Marriage is between a man and woman and occurs upon their reciting of their own ceremonial marriage vows, the first time of consummation, and upon the birth of their first child. If upon several attempts of trying to conceive or upon medical determination that a child cannot be conceived, the marriage is still valid. If the partners both agree and decide not to have children, that is respected. Wedding bands and rings are used as a display of union at all times. They should only be removed during times of hygienic routines and if certain work tasks ultimately require it.

Divorce is not allowed under any circumstance, except when a wife commits adultery with a man other than her husband.

A union of marriage is only concluded when natural death occurs of one of the members of that marriage union.

If the wife commits adultery with another man, the husband can choose to end the marriage with her at that point.

Women who have had children with their husband should understand that committing adultery, resulting in the potential and likelihood that her husband will divorce her will likely result in catastrophic psychological effects and spiritual rending in two of her children’s lives. If a woman is struggling with such temptations, she is admonished to speak directly with her husband about it to create an appropriate solution and the husband is to be understanding and accommodating without a disposition of contempt, so as to help her through such a temptation.

Women may not marry women and men may not marry men. Women cannot marry more than one man.

Men may not be in any type of sexual relationship with another man.

Dressing must be modest, covering up yourself as much as possible in public occasion, generally speaking.

Men and women should not be wearing any sort of facial covering unless you have an auto-immune disease or are at-risk from infections due to a weakened immune system as determined by a licensed medical professional, that requires one to wear some sort of mask in public. Balaclavas, ski masks, bandanas and scarves covering the face, worn for the sake of fashion, are not acceptable. These garments can only be worn for practical purposes due to weather conditions where they would be needed. Likewise, gloves should only be worn for work purposes or when needed for weather conditions. They are not considered an appropriate fashion accessory.

Men are to practice wearing only pants for the lower garment.

Men should never wear any type of top garment except for a t-shirt or a long sleeve shirt. Polos shirts are allowed if weather is warm. It is always best to wear a long sleeve dress shirt in all occasions. In formal settings men are to wear a dress shirt tucked in with a tie. Sport coats and blazers, suit coats, and suits are always best for a formal gathering. Wearing of ties are mainly in church settings.

Women are to wear only long skirts with a length that goes to cover below their knee cap.

Women's top garment should have a neckline that reaches up to the clavicle region and covers the midsection at all times, even when their arms are extended in the air during times of worship. A brassiere is to be worn underneath all tops at all times in public occasion.

Women’s hair should be long and uncut as much as possible.

Men are to wear no jewelry other than a watch and wedding band. No piercing or hair coloring, highlights, or bleaching are allowed. Dyeing of gray hairs is allowed if it appears natural with your original hair color.

Women are to wear no jewelry except a watch and wedding ring and/or wedding band.

Women should not paint nails on feet or hands. Natural manicuring of nails is recommended.

Men must cut their finger and toe nails and keep their hands and feet clean outside of work. They must trim any extraneous nose or ear hair as well.

The entire body should be kept clean and hygienic for the consideration of your married partner and those around you in public.

Women should not wear makeup, lipstick, eyeliner or mascara. Skincare products and treatments are allowed. No elective beauty treatments that require surgery or that are permanent.

Men’s hair should be short, not exceeding the eyes in the front or below the ear on the sides, and with a clean neckline.

Men are to shave all facial hair.

Women are to shave legs and armpits.

Women are allowed to dye, highlight, or balayage their hair if done by a skilled professional, and the colors are not artificial colors outside the spectrum of natural colors occurring in humans. Retaining natural or close to one's natural hair color is always recommended.

Women’s hair length can be cut if the length reaches to the top of the hind of the leg- at that area, if they prefer.

Women dealing with minor to major hair loss can pursue any type of hair restoration treatment at their discretion or use any type of artificial hair method, including the use of wigs, extensions, or any other type of aesthetic remedy, in pursuance of an appearance of hair that is naturally grown.

Women’s hair may be trimmed to maintain split ends as long as hair growth continues.

Hair can be tied up, styled up, or braided at anytime. "Corn rows" are not allowed.

For women with ethnic hair, that is naturally curly- it should be wrapped with a head band or scarf or tied back and styled. If the hair is long enough and is falling in a downward motion on its own, that is suitable if preferred. Afro and dreadlock styles are not suitable. They may use weaved hair extensions, which is allowed. Natural hair is recommended and can utilize safe products for hair straitening, along with the use of a hair straightener device. Always research the potential dangers of any chemical processes used in such treatments beforehand (e.g. "Brazilian Blowout") for health reasons. Braids are acceptable, and “box braids” are recommended amongst styles when braiding. Corn rows are generally not allowed and are to be determined upon the discretion of a presiding presbyter. Again, unnatural hair colors are not to be used.

For men with ethnic curly hair, their hair must be short and well groomed. It is not acceptable for men to braid their hair and or have a dreadlock styles, which are not permitted. We will define a dreadlock style as a permanent matting/tangling of the hair that cannot be undone by washing of the hair. Twist or curling of the hair is suitable as long as it is short enough.

Men are to not perm their hair if it’s not naturally curly.

Women are not to perm their hair if it is not naturally curly.

All members are to take care of their personal hygiene, which includes daily dental and oral care, proper washing of body and face, daily usage of deodorant, and wearing clean garments.

You are to own a physical Bible. Do not put in on the floor, unless by your bed when you sleep. Don’t put other objects on top of it. Take care of it and treat it with reverence at all times, for it is the Word of God. The allowed versions are KJV, NKJV, ESV, NASB, NASB1995, NIV. AMP (Amplified version can be used as a study resource). We do not allow RSV or MSG (The Message). GNT can be used for new members to read, or for any member for their own edification, but is not used in official capacities.
