"And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there wree many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. Mark 6:31

Common fundamental denominators will be outlined and made clear to all who are asked to support the ministry, or who will be qualified to use the ministry. It is not for every Baptist, but rather for those who are holding true to traditional Biblical Baptist distinctives. I have no personal desire to see error survive, nor do Christians giving to such an institution wish to contribute financially to the demise of the Baptist faith! We wish to make it clear that the "ever-changing" Baptist is not what The Desert Place Haven of Rest is designed for! Every brother who stays at this sanctuary can feel comfortable that he is fellowshipping with other brethren of like faith.

The Haven is a product of, and ministry for, the survival of traditional Baptist distinctives! We ask that no pastor attempt its use, nor any church pledge its financial support, unless the following critieria is met:

No sympathy to, nor interaction with today's charismatic movement. We want no pastors or churches who practice the phenomenon of "speaking in tongues."

We wish to avoid anyone who embraces 5 point Calvinism. Whether they hold such titles as "Sovereign Grace" churches/pastors, or any other name which equates to "some are just born for Heaven, and some for Hell" - we wish not to associate ourselves with such doctrine!

No church/pastor who holds the views of Armenianism in relationship to the doctrine of salvation will be asked into our midst. This includes any organization/person who feels that a Christian can lose his or her salvation!

Those who land on the wrong side of the "Liberty" doctrine coin, are asked to not attempt to take part in this ministry; more specifically, those who shun "standards" and advocate a "Liberty to sin" and not our "Liberty from sin." As brethren, we may not agree on all standards, as long as we agree that God has a set standard of holiness, in the life of a believer. Since we will insist on many standards to be kept while staying at the Haven, the "no standards" crowd will not feel at home with us!
