CHARTER · VERSION 6 · 10 OCTOBER 2026
The Praeceptorium: permanent doctrinal fidelity
The Circle of the Elders is the Praeceptorium, the internal teaching and oversight Order within This Grace Bible Churches. Bishop Wesley Ray, Founding Bishop, is the original and sole Praeceptorius. His personal title is exclusive and does not transfer through incapacity, death, temporary appointment, or succession.
The foremost judgment of the Order is fidelity to the Gospel of Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB, sound doctrine, the King James Bible, and Pauline Dispensational Doctrine. Article I-A sets permanent limits on every authority created by the Charter.
The Order shall not go to Greek or Hebrew for its studies or attempt to change or supposedly correct the King James Bible. It shall avoid corrupt doctrines and religious influences contrary to its foundations, and shall not practice, require, or authorize water baptism for the Church, the Body of Christ.
Membership requires separate qualification as a bishop or elder and express admission. Temporary continuity uses an accepted Acting Overseeing Bishop, a named alternate, and an administrative fallback within existing authority. Incapacity never becomes permanent succession.
Document status: Version 6 is a revised draft, operative only upon authorized adoption. Publication does not certify adoption.
