Should a church or association of churches adopt and affirm a written confession of faith? Or is a simple commitment to the Scripture or NT as the church's creed sufficient? In the two-part lecture series below, Dr Bob Gonzales defines a creed or confession of faith and presents three arguments to validate its use in the church. He also seeks to address and answer common objections to the use of creeds or confessions in the church. In the second lecture, Gonzales highlights a number of ways in which a good confession of faith can benefit the ministry of the church. These lectures form a part of RBS's course HT 501 Creeds & Confessions.
