I.G.A.S. Declaration of Principles
Adopted 1946
Tenth Principle Adopted 1979
First Principle Revised 1988
We as Christian Spiritualists recognize God, the Infinite Intelligence, as our Father, and JESUS THE CHRIST of Nazareth, the divine Son of God, as the greatest teacher, medium, and standard-bearer of truth the world has ever known.
We believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical and spiritual, are the expressions of Infinite Intelligence.
We affirm that a correct understanding of such expression, and living in accordance therewith, constitutes true religion.
We affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death.
We affirm communication with the dead is a so-called fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena of Spiritualism.
We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Gold Rule:
Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them.
We affirm the moral responsibility of the individual, and that he makes his own
happiness or unhappiness as he obeys Nature’s physical and spiritual laws.
We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any human soul, here or hereafter.
We affirm that the practice of Prophecy, as authorized in the Holy Bible, is a divine and
God-given gift, re-established and proven through mediumship by the phenomena of Spiritualism.
We affirm that all of our Principles are made possible through Meditation and Prayer.
