Bible Note: Regarding creeds/statements of faith If no one in a church/denomination took the responsibility for codifying, writing and publishing what that church specifically teaches, then who would know WHAT that church/denomination believed? It's not enough to say, "Well, we just believe the Bible." Every evangelical and fundamentalist church claims to believe the Bible. As has been illustrated numerous times on the Forum, one must ask the question: What interpretation* of the Bible does your church hold to on various doctrinal points? I.e., how does your church INTERPRET the Bible? We all use the Bible and all quote the same verses, but we do not all see eye to eye on the meaning of those verses. Hence, the need for statements of faith -- so that people will KNOW WHAT WE BELIEVE. ____________________ *interpretation -- NOT translation --Radioman2 |
