Propositions are not adequate statements of faith. Election and Covenant are preeminent expressions of God's saving activity among men. Every theological statement is finite, limited by a particular time and place. Human Achievements grow out of a particular history and are limited by that history. No one creed can be elevated to an exclusive position in the life of the Church.
Every statement of faith is very historical and limited by the finiteness and sin of man.
It's a choice between the integrity of the Christian community and the problems of heresies, errors, and blashphemies. No man is good enough or wise enough to tell another man what his religion should be. Toleration is easy today not because our faith is so mature, but because our regard for theology is less serious. Conclusions Theology must be a reflective, critical and analytic language that describes, defines and articulates the Christian faith in a precise and coherent fashion. Theology must correspond to Scripture and experience.
