“The point about being’

The point being the difference in one’s idea of salvation. Is it institutionalized, The Church, or is it personalized, all individual believers of today, tomorrow and ages past.

If one believes that salvation is institutionalized and only found in “The Church” then the creeds or statements of faith of particular denominations or churches are important. If salvation is open to everyone who believes
(1Ti 4:10.....because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.)then it is the witness of one’s faith that is important.

I do think “statements of belief” found in individual churches are a good thing and handy to the seeker who wants to learn what a particular church believes and teaches.

Ultimately, what you want to read from these statements is that the church is subject to the word of God in all things. Can’t go too far astray if that is the case.
