In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?"

Notice this definition denies to those refusing to accept the Apostles Creed and a denominational confession the name Christian. By ...

And many years later, after alterations, it was ... If two people accept contradictory confessions, there is no way that they can get together unless one or both abandon their creed. For example, if one, creed teaches that a man is saved by works and another affirms ... ...
