1. All saints are united to Jesus Christ their Head by his Spirit through faith, and have fellowship with him in his grace, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory. Being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other’s gifts and graces, and are obligated to the performance of such public and private duties as support their mutual good, both in the inward and outward person.

2. Saints by profession are bound to maintain a holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God and to perform other spiritual services that tend to their mutual edification, including helping each other in outward things, according to their various abilities and necessities. This communion, as God offers the opportunity, is to be extended to all those who call on the name of the Lord Jesus in every place.

3. This union which the saints have with Christ does not make them in any way partakers of the substance of his Godhead or equal with Christ in any respect. To affirm either of these is impious and blasphemous. Nor does their communion with one another as saints take away or infringe on the title or ownership which each person has of his own goods and possessions.
