All credentialed certificates remain the property of CTOMC, and may be re-called upon the action of the CTOMC Board of Directors. A conferred credential is considered null and void if the application contains any untrue or misleading statements by the applicant. Submitting the application for CTOMC Credentials shall constitute an exclusive and inclusive contract whereby the applicant agrees to hold the Coalition of Torah Observant Messianic Congregations or any iteration thereof, harmless and not liable for damage to the credential holder resulting from association or non-association with CTOMC.

3. Association. The CTOMC Credentialed Minister agrees that association with CTOMC is totally voluntary. Only those Ministers with Current Credentials are eligible for leadership within the Coalition of Torah Observant Messianic Congregations. The CTOMC Credentialed Minister hereby agrees to all future amendments to the qualifications, regulations, and statement of faith, as long as he/she is a credential holder with CTOMC.

4. Immorality. The Messianic Minister is responsible to report any immorality or substantial change in their walk or belief as varying from the standard of CTOMC, and submit to the Executive Office for the work of redemption and restoration. Any Messianic Minister believed to have performed an act of adultery, homosexuality, immorality, or crime involving moral torpitude as stated in Torah, shall immediately be placed on Disciplinary Suspension and may not act upon their official duties, nor minister from the Bima, until restored to active status. Any Messianic Minister who refuses to submit to the CTOMC restoration process shall turn in their credentials; their commission/ordination shall be immediately and automatically rescinded and they will be Dismissed.

5. Addictions and Obligations. The Messianic Minister is expected to exercize personal control and discipline in their personal, family and professional life consistent with both the written Torah and the spirit of Torah.

Drunkenness, alchoholism, chemical dependency, psychological counseling or psychiatric treatment must be reported to the Executive Office.

No Messianic Minister shall perform a wedding ceremony without fulfilling the requirements of their local legal authority.

13. Marriage Vows. No Messianic Minister shall separate, divorce or remarry without the consent and counsel of the Executive Office. To do so will result in automatic Dismissal.

14. Felony. For purposes of these regulations, felony; shall be defined by the criminal code of the Court having secular criminal jurisdiction of the Messianic Minister. The law of the land is the law. If a Messianic Minister is convicted of a felony, the Beit Din shall, within a reasonable time following that conviction, on its own motion, and after an evidentiary hearing, decide the status of the credentials of that Messianic Minister. In applying this regulation, any secular law shall be considered to be subject to the Law of Adonai Elohim (Hashem as justice and mercy) as expressed in Torah. No CTOMC credential shall be removed for the violation of a secular law if obedience to that secular law would have required disobedience to Torah. A Messianic Minister shall, upon the written order of the Beit Bin, turn in their credentials. Messianic Minister credentials removed due to felony may be reinstated only by further order of the Beit Din, after a hearing, and no sooner than one year after their removal. No Beit Din decision regarding the removal of credentials due to felony may be made in secret.
