We are not bound by man-made creeds or traditions. We do not have to defend some institutional position. Our only concern is to defend the Word of God. In the early 1800's, men from most major denominations, sick of religious division and prejudice, weary of the restriction placed on them by their denominational hierarchies, began searching for unity. Wear only the name of Christ.
Brand names create barriers.
Take the Bible as sole authority, and Christ as the only creed. Seek Christian unity and brotherhood wherever it can be found. Refuse to be a part of any organization that would limit your freedom in Christ. Entire counties of churches began joining in this movement for freedom and unity. They began calling Bible things by Bible names, discovering that there was a simple New Testament pattern upon which everyone could unite.
