We believe that things such as creeds, or a confession of faith (such as the Westminster Confession of Faith), denominational titles, etc. have all contributed to the problem of denominationalism - the dividing up of the church of our Lord.  We advocate discarding written creeds and having the Bible as our only creed.  The problem with creeds is that they have a tendency to become the authority rather than the Bible.  The creed is consulted rather than the Bible.   Another problem of creeds is that they are generally not open to change and examination.  They become the authority in a denomination, whether stated or un-stated.  This is especially dangerous because history has shown that people can be wrong and have been wrong in their interpretations.

The New Testament says nothing of creeds.  It does tell us to beware of teaching as doctrine the commandments of men  (Matthew 15:9; Galatians 1:7-9).  A creed is just as fallible as men, you could be wrong, and according to these scriptures, your service to God would be in vain.  The solution is have the all sufficient word as your only creed.  If God has given us everything we need for life and godliness, (2 Peter 1:3) why do we even need a creed?
