That sounds fine on the surface, but what good is a creed or “confession”? If it less than the word of God, it is too little. If adds more than the word of God, it is too much. If it is the same as the word of God, it is redundant. All the various creeds have done is detract from study and consideration of the Word itself and cause division and dispute, and some are directly contrary to what God has breathed.

It is a reference. Any body of study will have quick references that serve as a refresher/reminder for those who have already studied a topic.
Those same reference provide a springboard for deeper study of a subject for the neophytes.
For instance, in my field many people use an app called “Epocrates” to do a quick search of a medicine. It does not, nor is it intended to, take the place of careful study of the authoritative texts.
