In fact, and somewhat ironically, it is those who do not express their confession in the form of a written document who are in danger of elevating their tradition above Scripture in such a way that it can never be controlled by the latter. If a church has a document that says it is dispensational in eschatology, then we all know where such a church stands on the issue of the end times, and we can do the Berean thing and test the position by Scripture to see if it is so. The church that tells you simply that its position on the end times is the same one as that taught in the Bible appears to be telling you everything, but is actually telling you nothing at all.

That is some seriously profound writing. So much said in so few words. He is exactly 100% on the money.

Thanks for posting this. T

You’re welcome. I agree with that bolded statement as well. When some folks say things like “we have no confession but the Bible” or “no creed but Christ” they are actually saying creeds and confessions but fail to realize it.

Lutheran Satire has a good video on creeds:

I enjoy it except for the quick swipe on Calvin’s Institutes they take near the end.

This article is clearly obvious evidence of predestination. :O)

BTW RF, I loved that link to the creed discussion on YouTube. What a hoot.
