3.4 – How ACOP’s Beliefs Have Evolved

I believe that as time goes on, we will need to be vert shrewd in how we write our statements of faith. Clarity on gender issues – that God created them male and female – is going to be a very touchy subject. It will very likely become an area of persecution of the church. Another point of concern will be the Romans 13 passage on obeying our government. How we navigate the new laws coming into effect regarding hot topics – such as gender identity, abortion, exploitation of people groups and more – is going need to addressed.

As the statement of faith changed through the years to reflect the changing in our society.
Some areas we may need to look at,
1. Euthanasia
2. Same sex adoption process or procedures.
3. What is a family or what should a family should be. ( true meaning of the Nuclear family).

Transgender:
I must disagree. I do not believe this should be left up to the churches. God created man, and He created woman. There is no mistake here. I would consider this a primary for sure.

Some current issues that may need to be addressed in the future are the trans community and the opportunity for one to transition at some point in their life. Another issue that may need to be addressed is asexuality as a personal expression and if we belive that is a valid expression in a Christian context
