8. BAPTISM
8.1 Without baptism, there can be no hope of salvation;
8.2 belief and baptism allow us to share in the Abrahamic promises,
8.3 and is for the forgiveness of sins.
8.4 Baptism is by complete immersion in water
8.5 of an adult who knows the Gospel.
8.6 Those immersed without a full knowledge of the true Gospel must be baptized again, properly.
8.7 Understanding the true Gospel is required for baptism to be valid.
9. LIFE IN CHRIST
9.1 After baptism, a believer must make a reasonable effort to be separate from the ways of this sinful world,
9.2 and develop Christ-like characteristics.
9.3 Participation in occupations and pleasures which lead us to break the commandments of God, e.g. the use of force and excessive drinking of alcohol, are incompatible with a truly Christian life.
9.4 Baptized believers have a duty to meet with and fellowship each other, whenever and wherever humanly possible.
9.5 Baptized believers should regularly break bread and drink wine in memory of Christ's sacrifice.
9.6 Regular prayer and Bible reading are necessary for the baptized believer.
9.7 A baptized believer only has fellowship with those who hold true doctrine and realistically attempt to practice it.
9.8 Therefore whose who cease to believe or practice the Truth cease to be in fellowship with the body of true believers.
I am sure you have your own list.
