Those who disdain creeds and confessions ignore, or are not aware of an important point: Everyone has a confession. Every church, every pastor--even the most violently anti-confessional--has an opinion and practice on baptism, witnessing, the Lord's Supper, church membership, church government, parental responsibility, church discipline and a dozen other issues. Despite the often rather prideful claim that "we just believe the Bible," what they believe is their interpretation of the Bible. Those who attend the church in the main all agree with these interpretations and this unspoken creed, and those who choose to leave or who are not welcomed generally do not.To say you "just believe the Bible" is, at the best, blindly arrogant (you know best?) and, at worst, disingenuous. You have a creed, and you preach or heard it preached every Sunday in your church. |
