		<description>Again, good discussion here.
As pastors, Peter, Shawn and I are all fine with the current statement, but I&#039;ll suggest we add an additional note of affirmation of the Apostle&#039;s and Nicene Creeds.
Cheers!

		<description>I’m just going to chuck in my two cents worth seeing as Dale called for thoughts from others…

As far as the statement of faith goes I think it does ok.  It covers the fundamental ideas while being concise enough that people will bother to read it.  In my view a statement of faith should leave room for debate on non-essential theology (e.g. Calvinism versus Arminianism) but not leave room for erroneous belief to slip in (e.g. Modalism).

That being said I think a couple of things could be better described in the current statement of faith with the addition of a few words.  For instance:

I would add to the Trinity that God is one being made up of three personages and each personage is co-existent, co-eternal and fully God.

Ben is right in what he said regarding the section about Christ.  Just mentioning that he has two natures doesn’t quite cut the mustard for me either.  I’d like to see more of the hypostatic union outlined so there isn’t room to dilute or mix the two natures (no demi-gods allowed).

I also think the section on baptism should include not just the mode but take more of a stance against paedo-baptism and baptismal regeneration.

Including a statement about Christ returning (to judge the quick and the dead?) would also be worthwhile.  I’d prefer the statement of faith had a heading for itself but I’m sure changing a website is a nuisance.</description>

		<description>It is not a question of whether we would exclude &#039;the life of the mind&#039;.  I know that we don&#039;t. But are we &#039;seeking&#039; the life of the mind. Do we seek (or pursue) to follow Jesus in a deeper understanding of the truth?</description>
