At the end of each year, every member of the community is to be interviewed, from first to last, that the spiritual standing of each in the community may be determined .
2
This is needful so long as Belial continues to hold sway as the god of this world.
3
The object of this interview is that every man in Israel may be made aware of his status in the community of God's elect, that he may measure himself against the perfect, eternal society of heaven.
4
If any man finds that he is being governed by a law which is beyond his desires, then let him be placed among those who live after his own heart.
5
If any man will qualify himself to live a law higher than he is living, let the opportunity be given him to live that law.
6
Thus no man in Israel need be abased below his ability to qualify nor exalted above his desires to live after the heavenly pattern.
7
Thus all members of the community will stand, each in his proper place, according to a true evaluation of his standing before God.
8
Let those who judge in these matters, judge according to correct principle, in profound humility, being full of charity and equity toward their brethren and sisters that the society of heaven may flourish among you, being sanctified by love and unity in the Lord our God.
