Although there was benefit to the dialogue on Creedalism and Non-Creedalism, there was one glaring oversight: explanations of our respective views with biblical support. The format and time constraints tended to lead us towards clarifying and interacting with each other’s views. David Dean and I have both written on these subjects in the past, and the resources we recommended are informative of our positions.

Since the matters at hand are not inconsequential, there is, I believe, tremendous value in sharing a concise, direct presentation of my own position: creedalism. It is my conviction that the following view faithfully represents both the charge to the Church given by God in his Word, and the example set down by the earliest churches, as recorded in God’s Word.
