On the Value & Validity of Confessions of Faith

A blog post by a confessional Baptist, good read...

Quote:
If you were there and had to take sides, which side would you have taken? Would you have agreed with the position that said in essence, “No creed but the New Testament” (or no creed but the Bible)? Or would have voted with Riley to adopt a confession of faith? To bring the question to bear upon the ecclesiastical polity of our churches: should our churches be confessional or non-confessional? In the next few posts, I’d like to argue for the validity and value of creeds and confessions of faith. But before we venture too far, let’s start with a definition.

Conscience may lash us, but it cannot replenish a languishing life. Conscience may be God's word and minister to you, telling you of your faults and your follies and your destitution. It may point out, but it will never supply you. Christ must give you new life. Hart has well expressed it: "He to the feeble and the faint, His mighty aid makes known; and when their languid life is spent, supplies it with His own." - J. K. Popham
