The ultimate goal and aim is the preparing of the church for the coming of Jesus Christ for His bride. "That he might present to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). To this end it is the absolute responsibility of this God-instituted body to teach the Oneness of the Godhead in Jesus Christ; repentance of all sin; baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin; and the receiving of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Thereafter it is the responsibility of the ministry to teach all baptized believers that they must "follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14).
