Theoblogy is continuing our study through the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith in its Sunday School. Pastor Arden Hodgins will be our teacher through out its course. Hodgins pastors Trinity Reformed Baptist church, in California. Hodgins begins his series with a two part introduction that seeks to answer some of the main questions raised by people who are opposed to the use of confessions and creeds in the church. These questions relate to the objections to, biblical warrant of and the benefit of confessions of faith.
Hodgins has classified these questions into three major ones and this forms the outline of his introduction. The first of which was: What are the objections to holding to a confession of faith?, which he answered in the first part of this introduction. In his second part of his introduction, Hodgins answers the next two questions namely : 2. What is our Biblical warrant for holding to our confession of faith? 3. Why is a confession of faith so needful and helpful to the local church?
