At least you have the guts to show your Statement of Faith! I remember of being absolutely terrified of writing exactly what I believed in that class -- about our salvation being 100% God's choice and 100% our choosing -- thinking that I'd be branded a heretic, or at least a loose thinker. So I hedged a bit. But that issue is tame compared to the stuff God's been having me wrestle with since then. Whoa, has it been 8 years since Gordon-Conwell already? As the old joke around seminary said: how in the world did we become Masters of Divinity -- shouldn't we be mastered by Divinity instead? Yes!
