The general characteristics of a client nation to God include the following:

1. A civil government and policy based on the laws of divine establishment. That includes free enterprise.

2. The function of evangelism under the principle of freedom. We who evangelise must recognise the freedom of others. Freedom means privacy. Our job is to clearly present the gospel but we do not force people to accept Christ. We leave people with the information; they must use their volition, and it is wrong on the part of Christians to pressure people.

3. The establishment of local churches which are autonomous. To the extent that local churches form into denominations you are destroying the client nation principle. Denominations become the enemy of client nations. Autonomous local churches: neither connected with other churches to form denominations or spheres of influence, nor involved in any movement which seeks to unite church and state. One of the things that hurt England more than anything else was the fact that Henry the Eighth established his own church and made it part of the state.

4. A vigorous and dynamic Bible teaching to believers which emphasises the protocol system in the plan of God.

5. Missionary activity to other nations under the indigenous principle of not interfering with foreign governments but providing both gospel and Bible teaching for people in the nation. No missionary has the right to interfere with the government and become involved in the politics of the nation where he goes.

6. Affords a haven of toleration for the dispersed Jews.
