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

Yes, the "Apostles' Creed" is a very basic, fundamental creed which is recognized across most "Christian" denominations and groups. If one insists that it is all that is necessary to 'define' who they are, then they are adhering to what I like to term, "a lowest common denominator theology". It is quite popular today to confess one's "creed" as simply, "No creed but Christ. No doctrine but life."

The irony of this type of mentality, which is all too easy to expose as hypocritical, is that if you ask such an individual what he/she believes about Jesus, then they must respond with their personal "credo (creed)" [what I believe about xxxx). Their church's "creed" may be unwritten, but it is nonetheless held to and if you don't subscribe to this unwritten creed, you can be shunned or even expelled.
