Doctrinal Positions and Practices
BSF has a statement of faith that to which all leaders must agree. It emphasizes salvation by grace through faith (Eph 2:8) while encouraging a holy (sanctified) lifestyle.
Any BSF participant who agrees to the BSF Statement of Faith, when that statement is not in conflict with the church they are a member of, can be called into leadership positions in BSF. There have been controversies in the past that certain denominations or sects are excluded from BSF leadership. BSF is careful not to call someone into leadership where the profession of their faith as a member of their church would be conflict with the BSF Statement of Faith.
