Dear Bill, Although it will take a bit more effort than looking up a Soteriological word here and there, you really should expend some effort to familiarize yourself with the Terms of Use of Lockman's SBF. I would commend you in particular to the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Chalcedonian Creed, and the Canons of the Council of Orange. Son, man up, own what you say, mean what you say, say what you mean. You cannot cover theological error with a multitude of wordy posts and contextomy. Nor does it help anyone -- quite the contrary -- to affirm "I don't believe anything but God's Word" when what you espouse is contrary to His Word. Do you imagine that anyone claims otherwise who come to this forum? We post on the forum with the permission of our gracious host under the Terms of Use that they have specified -- which is their right. Consequently, every post affirms those Terms of Use. Abuse of these terms, demonstrate a lack of respect for our host and your fellow forum members; worse, it dishonors our Lord. Until you deal with some of these issues relative to your own heart and what it means to be disciple of Christ, you will be accomplishing no good whatsoever. The good deeds we are called to perform must be accomplished with sanctified means. In Him, Doc In Him, Doc |

Doc and BradK Apparently I owe you both an apology. I have just looked up all of these new words and downloaded quite a bit of information on all of them. It will, as you mentioned, take me a little while to assimilate all this. I briefly scanned the smaller creeds; I'd like to think they're in harmmony with the Bible but that one Canon of the Council of Orange is huge. I did notice there's been several "updates" to the first 3 creeds. Which ones are approved by your groups? Please advise. Another couple of questions: 1) Are you all saying you believe in the requirement of baptism, as stated in the Nicene Creed of 1988? 2) Are you also saying these creeds and canon are placed on a religious level with the Bible, equal in Power and Authority? Please advise on all the above. Thanks for your patience and Go with God in all His Ways. Bill |

Dear Bill, Given Lockman's stated purposes, I would assume that they are choosing a set of creeds and confessions that represent the broad base of concensus in Christendom. Consequently, it would be safe to assume that they intend the Nicene Creed as ammended in 381. Documentation is available for the debates that gave rise to each phrase and, in some cases, each specific word. Creeds and confessions derive their authority from Scripture. For example, from my own confession, it states, "The supreme judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Scripture delivered by the Spirit, into which Scripture so delivered, our faith is finally resolved. (Matt. 22:29, 31, 32; Eph. 2:20; Acts 28:23)" --1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, chapter 1, paragraph 10 What is the name of the college you are attending? (I know some people in Seattle who might be interested.) Which church do you attend there? In Him, Doc |

I'm just trying to get this all straight in my mind. Do be patient with me. Thanks in advance. Quoted for reference: Sola scriptura (Latin ablative, "by scripture alone") is the doctrine that the Bible contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness. Consequently, sola scriptura demands that only those doctrines are to be admitted or confessed that are found directly within or indirectly by using valid logical deduction or valid deductive reasoning from scripture. However, sola scriptura is not a denial of other authorities governing Christian life and devotion. RATHER, IT SIMPLY DEMANDS THAT ALL OTHER AUTHORITIES ARE SUBORDINATE TO, AND ARE TO BE CORRECTED BY, THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD. Sola scriptura was a foundational doctrinal principle of the Protestant Reformation held by the Reformers and is a formal principle of Protestantism today. (All caps above mine for emphasis and clarity.) I think I can live with this statement if I'm understanding it correctly. Go with God in all His Ways. Bill |

Dear Bill, I am glad you can live with the statement, as your posting privileges are dependent on your posting nothing except those things arise from the doctrines of the sufficiency, necessity, clarity, and the authority of scripture. So what is the church that you attend? And what is the college that you attend? In Him, Doc |
