The New Apostolic Church permits blood transfusions and does not prohibit members from receiving necessary transfusions for medical treatment. This reflects the church's understanding that the preservation of life is a paramount moral value and that medical treatment is appropriate. The biblical prohibitions on consuming blood (Leviticus 17:10-12; Acts 15:28-29) are understood as applying to dietary practice and specific ritual contexts, not to life-saving medical interventions.

The church teaches that the human body is precious in God's sight and that caring for physical health is a moral obligation. When blood transfusion is medically necessary, it is permissible to receive it. The decision regarding transfusion is made in consultation with medical professionals, and no ecclesiastical penalty or condemnation attaches to receiving a transfusion.

This stance reflects the NAC's commitment to a holistic vision of salvation that includes physical well-being and the preservation of life. The church does not create unnecessary conflicts between religious observance and medical necessity.
