This Guide and Standard, by which we govern ourselves as independent, un-institutionalized, fellowships united in Christ Jesus, also has the purpose of fulfilling the direction of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ-to seek to reclaim the lost sheep remnants of this land (the land of America) and of Israel. It is a guide. It is a standard. And it is meant to demonstrate that He has set His hand once again to recover them, even His covenant people. He speaks even now and the invitation is to all to prove His word-to do it-with the promise that He will respond. He will pour out His spirit upon all who faithfully test His word. This Guide and Standard is a testament to His voice in our day and stands as beacon of self-government in a world of control, compulsion, and dominion by subtlety and by force-to allow every soul under Heaven across the far reaches of earth to begin to govern themselves upon the correct principles and guidelines established herein by Jesus Christ, even Son Ahman, who seeks to establish the Kingdom of God on the earth and to bring again Zion. The invitation, then, is to either accept the work accomplished in this Guide and Standard without any compulsory means, or to pray and discover how and what the Lord would have you do to fulfill His word on the Guide and Standard...and do that. The Lord may only need one Guide and Standard to fulfill His requirements, but that does not mean that He cannot give another. No one is bound to agree with us or the majority (or any other person or group for that matter), nor can anyone prune another from His vineyard...because all are accountable only to Him.
