We do not believe in the reversal of this order; we hold that the local church has the absolute right of self government, free from the interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations; and that the one and only superintendent is Christ through the Holy Spirit; that it is scriptural for true churches to cooperate with each other in contending for the faith and for the furtherance of the Gospel; that every church is the sole and only judge of the measure and method of its cooperation; on all matters of membership, of policy, of government, of discipline, of benevolence, the will of the local church is final.
Hatuamini kinyume na mpangilio huyu, tunaamini kanisa lenyewe lina haki ya kujipangia mipango yake bila ushawishi wowote, huru kabisa kutokana na utawala wa juu wa watu ama mashirika; na kwa hivyo Yule pekee ndiye kiongozi ni Kristo kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu; kwamba ni kulingana na Biblia Makanisa ya kweli kuungana pamoja kushindania imani waliyokabidhiwa watakatifu mara moja tunatangaza injili; kwamba kila Kanisa ndio pekee lenye kujipangia mipango yake ya maendeleo.
