Inherited Sin: definitions and official creeds protestant churches, reject that newborn babies go to hell. Although entirely inconsistent with Calvinism as an interdependent system of domino theology, the idea that newborns go to hell is not politically correct and offends the common sense of many people. This kind of theological inconsistency is common among Baptists, for example, when they maintain we are saved by faith only (see Jas 2:24), to the exclusion of water baptism (see Mk 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Pe 3:21) but then say that a man must repent in addition to believe.

Lesson 22: Only The Saved Are In The Lord's Church ... But what does the Lord intend for the elders to do in His church? In Acts 20:28 the apostle Paul was talking to the elders from the church at Ephesus and told them, "Therefore take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers." The church the Lord built is to be overseen by a group of elders. The qualifications of elders who are to oversee each congregation of the Lord's church are given in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and in Titus 1:3-9. Is the church you belong to overseen by a plurality of elders?

Hastings, James: Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics ... The Triunity represents the effort to think out the Trinity, and so to afford it a reasonable basis. The first Christians had with St. Paul a saving experience of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the love of God, and of the communion of the Holy Ghost; and the theologians of the ancient Church sought to set forth the Christian experience in logical terms of reason. In the effort they were led, inevitably, to effect an alliance between the gospel of ...

Biblical Subordination expressed by early Fathers and apologists ... say the early church viewed Jesus as a creature. It is not surprising that the Nicene Creed overemphasizes the equality of Christ with the Father, since Arius' doctrine of a created Christ was its primary target.
