We believe that civil government is

1. of a divine appointment, for the interest and good order of human society (Romans 13:1-7; II Samuel 23:3; Exodus 18:21-22;);
2. administered by magistrates who are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored and obeyed (Acts 23:5; Matthew 22:21; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13-14, 17); and
3. to be obeyed except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 5:20; Acts 4:19-20; Daniel 3:17-18), who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the coming Prince of the kings of the earth (Matthew 10:28; Matthew 23:10; Revelation 10:6; Philippians 2:10-11; Psalm 72:11).
