That the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection provide the only ground for justification, forgiveness and salvation for all who believe, and only those who trust in Him alone are born of the Holy Spirit, are true members of the Church, and will spend eternity with Christ. That the Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration and renewal for believers in Jesus Christ; that He makes the presence of Jesus Christ real in believers; and that He comforts, guides, convicts and enables believers to live in ways that honour God. Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. Entry Processes (the number of processes running concurrently) They represent diversity in practice and training, but share a commitment to Biblical truth and psychological excellence. This is the foundation on which our organization rests\. Encouraging the integration of counselling principles with Biblical theology. These principles guide our activities and contribute to the professional development of our members. After careful consideration the ACC board has decided to replace the present categories with categories that describe the type of membership in broad terms in order to avoid misinterpretation of categories. The main reason for this is that the ACCinSA doesn’t have statutory power and decisions about a counselling status remain the prerogative of the Health Professions Council in South Africa. Category A: Full membership (Professional) These members hold qualifications in the fields of mental health (Psychology, Psychiatry, Medicine, Psychiatric Nursing, Social Work or related fields) and are registered with another professional body in South Africa such as Health Professions Council of South Africa. Category D: Partners of ACCinSA People interested in and supportive of the ACCinSA. Another development envisaged is to further develop the ACCinSA as a network of Christian mental health professionals and counsellors, able to form a strong teaching and learning community. This would include activities such as joint research projects focusing on Christian counselling, engaging in online teaching and learning in the form of webinars, online courses and forum discussions. The aim is to expand the field of Christian Counselling in Southern Africa. Thus, members will have the opportunity to engage on different levels with each other and the community. This would result in gaining more knowledge and experience. Membership of the ACC offers participants the opportunity to associate with other individuals who seek the highest degree of excellence in Christian counselling\. Affiliation with other Christian counsellors in South Africa\. Affiliation and interaction with international Christian counsellors.
