The ecumenical creeds and Reformed catechisms greatly help us understand how to think about the Bible.
They were not created or accepted by one person but rather by many discerning Christians. Millions of Christians through the centuries have confessed them. If we act like we’re the first ones to read the Bible, we’ll fall into many errors. Baptismal regeneration is one of those errors which the Reformed confessions and catechisms clarify. Tune in to think carefully about the comfort of your baptism.
