The Need For Creeds
Do you believe in God? Do you believe in Jesus Christ? How does God speak to people today? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? How does God save people and for that matter what is salvation? What is the nature of God? Are there things about God, salvation, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, scripture, God’s church and other things that are set in stone (forgive the pun) and others with which the church can be somewhat flexible? And even if we do settle upon some of these things today what about tomorrow? Should the church revisit and perhaps even revise these issues each generation or each time it comes into contact with a new or different culture? I don’t think we have to. Why?
