Confessions and creeds only have value in so far as they represent the churches understanding of divine revelation.
We should not be bound by our own understanding but by the churches understanding, such as that expressed in our creeds and confessions.
This can be difficult i.e. what is the church, what about conflicting doctrinal statements, why were the reformers free to disagree with the Roman doctrines etc, but who said life would be easy.
