Subject: Labels? My church just goes by the Bible |
Bible Note: "Don't you think the very essentials of Christianity are violated by the need for statements of belief." Statements of belief (creeds and confessions) have existed as long as the church has. You have them in your church as well. If you sing hymns with any theological statements whatsoever, you are reciting a confession put to music. "No one likes to be told he is wrong yet for each church/denomination felling the need to have their own creed is in effect doing just that." No one likes to be told he is wrong, but Scripture calls for godly men to correct false teaching and wrong-headed ideas. Paul wrote to Timothy that all Scripture is useful for correction. You yourself spend a considerable amount of time telling others on this Forum where you think they are wrong (just as I do). Are you not doing so on the basis of what you believe the Bible teaches? Written or not, that is your creed. --Joe! |
