The Baptist Seminary of South India believes
that it has the responsibility to provide guidelines for Christian
conduct that will help the student discern between what is
Christ-honoring and what hinders the Christian testimony.
Conduct should be motivated by a personal love for Christ. Therefore,
the explicit guidelines set forth in Scripture should be unquestionably
followed. Students must not engage in that which is expressly
prohibited in Scripture, such as sexual immorality, adultery,
drunkenness, homosexuality, theft, murder, dishonesty, "attitudinal
sins,"and "sins of the tongue" (Mark 7:20-23;
Galatians 5:19-21).
Although there is Christian liberty in matters
not expressly commanded or forbidden in Scripture, we expect
each student to comply with certain standards for the testimony
of Christ and of the institution (Romans 14; 1 Corinthians
8). The standards for Christian leadership are set forth in
1 Timothy 3. The "fruit of the Spirit" is the natural
result of a positive, yielded, growing, and Spirit filled life
(Galatians 5:22-26).
We expect the student at BSSI to:
1) Have a consistent and meaningful devotional life of prayer
and Bible-study.
2) Faithful attendance in a local church, and active involvement
in some form of Christian service.
3) Have compassion for the needs of others, with an active desire
to help them.
4) Desire and attempt to reach people for Christ and to develop
them in their spiritual walk.
5) Be willing to submit to authority, to work graciously with
others, and to study diligently.
6) Abstain from the use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, and
illicit drugs, and to refrain from involvement in gambling and
pornography.
7) Show careful discernment in the use of entertainment media.
8) Avoid all dishonesty. This incldes lying, cheating, plagiarism,
stealing, violating copyrights, and failure to meet financial
obligations.
9)Consistent attendance in Seminary chapel and other scheduled
events.
