No one is trying to tell you what to believe. There is no creeping creedalism. Southwestern and its sister SBC entities are doing what they have historically done by affirming the statement of faith adopted by their constituents. They are not intended to add anything to the simple conditions of salvation revealed in the New Testament, viz., repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. As in the past so in the future, Baptists should hold themselves free to revise their statements of faith as may seem to them wise and expedient at any time.
Confessions are only guides in interpretation, having no authority over the conscience.
