The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Purpose of Doctrinal Statements/ConfessionsofFaith

Hi Tracy... long time no see.

First, here's a great quote on this subject:

"A church without a confession of faith may well advertise that it is prepared to be a harbour of every kind of damning heresy and to be the soil for any who are given to growing the crop of novelty. A church without a confession of faith has the theological and ecclesiastical equivalent of AIDS, with no immunity against the infectious winds of false doctrine." - Dr. Robert Paul Martin

Next, the following might give you some ammunition to deal with this person:

- Is Doctrine Necessary?
- Absolute Necessity of Sound Doctrine
- In Defense of Creedalism (especially good)
