technically i dont see anything wrong with a basic statement of faith, i think it is good to have something to show newcommers and visitors, so they know what it is they are getting into. i think alot of hurt and heartache can be avoided if we knew ahead of time what kind of church we were getting into.
saying that, i also think it becomes a problem when we start requiring folks to preach it just exactly like us, or else we dont consider them a part of "the church"
most importantly, THE CHURCH, is the body of believers, not a building, not an org.
God created people totally different. and we are different for reasons. no matter what church we are in, no matter what faith we claim, you will not find one other person that you agree with 100%. so if we are to require that someone teaches only what you/we believe, then we are saying we are the only ones on earth that can be right about everything.
i hope this makes sense lol
