FUNDAMENTAL BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL
2003 PROPOSED STANDING RESOLUTIONS
The following standing resolutions were presented at the 83rd Annual National Meeting of the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship International on June 17 – 19, 2003, at the Trinity Baptist Church of Concord, New Hampshire.
03.01 THE FELLOWSHIP PRINCIPLE
The FBFI reaffirms its identity as a fellowship of individuals who hold to the Statement of Purpose and Statement of Faith in the FBFI constitution. We believe that this Fellowship is vital for the encouragement of godly men worldwide. As we move forward and face new battles, it is essential for us to be guided by the Spirit and Scripture in correctly identifying both friend and foe. We urge the leadership of the FBFI, both now and in the future, to carefully seek God’s face in knowing what issues are essential to our movement, and what issues are those on which godly men can agree to disagree. We must hold the concepts of unity and purity in dynamic tension. The spirit of our meetings must be gracious in areas where we legitimately disagree, yet bold in the defense of those foundational doctrines that bind us together. Through the ministries of the FBFI, we will always seek to encourage and strengthen the hands of God’s faithful servants. We appreciate the example of our President, Dr. Rod Bell, Sr., as he has taught and modeled the “Fellowship Principle,” and commit ourselves to upholding this standard as we face the challenges of the future holding a thoroughly biblical position with a thoroughly biblical disposition.
03.02 CONCERNING OUR HOST
The FBFI expresses sincere appreciation to Dr. Chuck Phelps and the people of Trinity Baptist Church of Concord, New Hampshire, for hosting the National Meeting of the Fellowship, June 17-19, 2003. Their hospitality and servants’ hearts are exemplary, and their kindness to the Fellowship a great blessing.
