=== Below are practical governance safeguards for you. ===

==== Your WSI statement of faith should affirm: ====
* Trinity
* Christ’s deity
* Salvation by grace through faith alone
* Authority of Scripture
* Ethical conduct, justice, and love for the poor

Anyone teaching must agree to these.

This filters out “theologies built on money, power, or nationalism.”

==== WSI should formally state: ====
* We do not teach that God guarantees financial success.
* We do not teach that wealth is a sign of faith or God’s favour.
* We do not teach that Christians must dominate society.
* We reject “prophetic wealth transfer” doctrines.
* We reject transactional giving (“if you sow money, God will multiply your bank account”).

These covenants protect your ministry, your reputation, and your members.

==== Before adopting any teaching, ask: ====

===== If the emphasis is “success, expansion, wealth,” not Jesus—reject. =====

===== Include passages about suffering, justice, humility, generosity. =====

===== If not, it’s incompatible with Matthew 25 and James 1:27. =====

===== If yes → danger. =====

===== If it's about “influence,” “control,” or “marketplace authority,” be careful. =====

These five questions are simple but powerful filters.

==== You don’t need a large team—just: ====
* 1–2 local pastors (Canada / Taiwan)
* 1 theologian or seminary-trained mentor
* 1 marketplace believer with strong biblical maturity

Their role:
* Review any imported curriculum
* Confirm biblical alignment
* Protect WSI’s shape and integrity

==== WSI can develop a core module: ====

===== Key topics: =====
* God owns everything
* We manage resources for community, justice, and mercy
* Wealth is a tool, not a goal
* Success is measured by obedience, not profit
* The poor are central to God’s heart

This becomes your organization’s doctrinal firewall.
