Obviously Mr. Spellman is wrong about a lack of doctrinal accountability as he was removed from his position as a Calvary Pastor because of a disagreement with the church on a matter of doctrine. Mr. Spellman's issue was one of a doctrinal disagreement with Calvary Chapel.

Can you provide a link to the written Calvary Chapel doctrinal statement that Spellman formally agreed to as part of receiving his pastorate, which he was later found to be in violation of?

This is the standard statement of faith for anyone seeking ministry with Calvary Chapel.

If you don't agree with every point, you cannot participate in ANY ministry at Calvary Chapel. That of course included Mr. Spellman. I'm sure if you asked him, he would admit that pursuant to this doctrinal statement he would not be eligible to be a pastor of a Calvary Chapel.

He seems content and happy where he is. OTOH, for some reason he finds it necessary to attack the roots of his own faith and the ministry which led him to Christ. That's too bad.
