?No creed but the Bible? is a pretext for ?neither creed, nor the Bible.?
God give us creeds, but deliver us from creedalism!
Dependence upon God is where the faith becomes my faith.
As long as the faith remains detached, a mere system of doctrine kept at arm?s length, we are like Nicodemus, who discovers he must be born again.
The faith without my faith leads to arid scholasticism, joyless, dead orthodoxy. My faith without the faith ends up in sloppy sentimentalism.
Some people who hear about a Baptist Catechism think you might as well be talking about a pregnant Pope or a married bachelor.
Ecclesiology is the new frontier of evangelical theology in the 21st century.
