6. Belief in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and man.
7. Children as a stewardship to parents, not the state, with parental authority and responsibility for education.
8. Affording compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity to all individuals as image bearers of God.
9. Marriage as only between one biological man and one biological woman, with other unions and sexual activity outside marriage considered immoral.
10. God's creation of two genders, male and female, with any self-conception or conduct adopting a different gender considered immoral.
