Click here for the paragraph that says all this more fully. We, the Executive Committee of the General Assembly Council, wish to clarify matters by stating clearly the confessional stance of the church and by declaring our own trust in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit. The witness of Scripture, the testimony of the church throughout the centuries, and our own faith is unambiguous.
Biblical faith continues to be the Christian faith, the church's faith, our faith.
From the early centuries of the church to the contemporary life of congregations each Lord's Day, Christians gather at the waters of Baptism to express faith using the words of the Apostles' Creed. The Creed's gracious narrative of God's mission centers on the incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and promised coming of Jesus Christ, who is Lord and Savior. The witness of the confessions is constant. The witness of a church that is instructed, led, and guided by the confessions is also constant. We affirm that the church's creeds, confessions, and catechisms bear witness to the truth about God and God's way in the world.
