Creeds, Confessions & Catechisms
A Narrower Creed
The Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed which are subscribed to by many churches and denominations are so broad in scope that even apostate churches agree with those creeds. Here is a creed that only the lover’s of God’s sovereignty can agree with:
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ fully and finally
accomplished redemption for all of God’s elect when He died on the cross of
Calvary. We believe that when He died as our Substitute under the wrath of God
that He fully and finally satisfied Divine justice by paying the sin debt and
thereby secured salvation for all for whom He died. We believe that Christ
through the Holy Spirit will also succeed in effectually calling and bringing
all that He died for with Him into everlasting Glory. We believe that any gospel
that robs our Lord of this, HIS glory in the finished, successful, accomplished
work of salvation, is another gospel…. which is no gospel at all. Now, there’s
the real offense and power of the gospel. Do you believe that? – Greg Elmquist, Apopka, FL
