Truth is not decided by consensus.

Beautifully said!

This is my main problem with the over emphasis in institutional churches that is placed on creeds and confessions. It is one of the few areas I find myself in conflict with my Reformed Protestant FRiends. They often don't recognize it, but they can be just as guilty as the Roman Catholics of relying on man made statements as equal to God's Word.

If we are going to truly hold to Sola Scriptura as the rule of our faith we need to diminish the status of these creeds and confessions.

Amen to that. It’s amazing to me that the organized religions that resulted from the split with Rome are still making some of the same mistakes as the RCC.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Salvation is by faith in Christ and one's spiritual growth and maturity are the work of the Holy Spirit evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit being displayed in one's life, not evidenced by adherence to confessions, creeds, tongues, or any other man established criteria.
