No Creed But Christ - Restoration Movement Statement of Faith

No Creed But Christ - a forum for all Restoration Movement Christians to discuss and fellowship.

A few things to know about Christians of the Restoration Movement (Stone-Campbell Movement):

1. "No Creed but Christ." No Restoration Movement congregation will not require a believer to read, memorize, sign, recite, affirm, pledge, or in any way have anything to do with a written creed as a litmus test for fellowship, baptism or communion

2. "Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent." Our beliefs are based on scripture only.

3. "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love." No Christians are rejected from fellowship based on differing beliefs on "non-essential" doctrines.

4. "We are not the only Christians, but we are Christians only." Restoration Movement believers do not claim to be the only Christians, and we accept other believers who profess to believe in Jesus Christ as our brothers and sisters. However, we do not attach any other name to ourselves other than "Christian." There is a very small percentage of RM believers who believe that only RM believers are true Christians, but this is not a popular view.
