Members

Anyone can become a member provided he or she assents to the precepts and the deposit of faith of the New Christians. Leaving the Church is possible any time.

Administrations of Sacraments from apostolic Churches (Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, Ordination) such as those of the Roman Catholic Church, of various Orthodox Churches, of the Old Catholic Church and comparable Churches are recognized.

With believers from Churches who are baptized in the Name of the FATHER, the SON and the HOLY GHOST, whose priests, however, have no sacramental orders (evangelical, Protestant and similar Churches), it is appropriate to complete Baptism and Confirmation by anointing with Holy Oil. The validity of the Sacraments is in each individual case to be examined. In case of doubt they are administered anew yet conditionally. Otherwise the incorporation into the Church of the New Christians will be sealed with Baptism and Confirmation.

Anyone interested in the priesthood or the religious state is offered free accommodation for the purpose of mutual acquaintance after a positive interview. In the noviciate, which as a rule lasts a year, the decision to follow CHRIST can be thought over.
