So, if a person agrees to a statement of faith in which true doctrine is enumerated, they can't go wrong preaching the statements of the faith.

i can't disagree with that, and even see how the need for a written 'code' to go by seems intuitive, and even mando--as to the first part, how do you know? our doctrines tend to be with the best of intentions--or not, in cases like Original Sin; um, or any of the others, imo (i can't think of a single one i would sign MY name to)--but fatally flawed in some tiny little respect, imo. Just ask...any obvious believer who disagrees with the doctrine! My position there is that they arose from satan, to divide us into 'denominations' (yikes, what a horrible way to think of oneself, spiritually), when they are perfectly fine for an individual believer to hold for a time, a stage, until they are able to put it through the fire, and refine it. All refining must cease when one is 'indoctrinated,' am i correct there?
I'm sure there is some advantage to the...indoctrination; I'll leave that to you, to present its 'good' points, which i am curious to hear, ty.
