CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In general, their purpose is to say better than any one of us can, the doctrines true to the Bible. Precision and concision. But not the totality of the council of God. They are not for the purpose of improving on Scripture, nor as a substitute for what Scripture does say, but as a way to think of what God says.
They have also often been drawn up as a what is believed a necessary response to false teaching and false mentality. "Contending for the faith".

WHAT A CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT.
Jesus does not answer the hypocritical nation of Israel doing tit for tat, but is FULFILLING/completing what He Himself had spoken/testified to all Israel, THAT PEOPLE honour the Lord with their LIPS. ( but their heart is far from me.) In VAIN THEY WORSHIP HIM, as their DOCTRINE is the commandments of men.
Jesus called ALL THE PEOPLE, and said LISTEN TO HIM EVERY ONE OF THEM, AND UNDERSTAND.
What COMES OUT OF THE MAN DEFILES THE MAN. ( if any man had ears to hear, then let him hear.)
His disciples did not PERCEIVE, did not UNDERSTAND, that what was without the HEART, does not DEFILE.
Jesus told the disciples, what COMES OUT OF THE MAN, DEFILES HIM. (THIS PEOPLE HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS.)
Out of the heart of man PROCEEDS EVIL THOUGHTS, adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, COVETOUSNESS, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, BLASPHEMY, pride, foolishness. ( all these EVIL things come from within and DEFILE the man.
The Epistles exhort the BELIEVERS to avoid fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. ( JESUS TOLD THE HYPOCRITES OF THEIR COVETEOUSNESS, AND COVETEOUSNESS IS THEIR IDOLATRY.)
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you HYPOCRITES, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Mark 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
In case it was not UNDERSTOOD, in case they did not HEAR, Matthew tells again, how THIS PEOPLE DRAW NEAR UNTO THE LORD WTH THEIR MOUTH, and HONOUR HIM WITH THEIR LIPS. ( but their HEART IS FAR FROM HIM.)
Jesus gives the UNDERSTANDING, it is not something that goes in those HYPOCRITICAL MOUTHS, that DEFILES THEM, (THOSE MOUTHS) but what comes OUT OF THE MOITH. ( that DEFILES THEIR MOIUTH.)
Jesus gives further UNDERSTANDING, THOSE THINGS WHICH PROCEED OUT OF THE MOUTH, DEFILE the man. ( they come forth from the HEART/ For out of the heart proceed EVIL THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE WITNESS, BLASPHEMIES.)
So what a CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT, are the EVIL THOUGHTS SPOKEN FROM THE MOUTH OF HYPOCRITES, the FALSE WITNESS they honour the Lord by HYPOCRITICAL MOUTHS AND LIPS, and the BLASPHEMY they SPEAK, and no true HONOUR.
Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, and HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Jesus had answered already what He would PROCEEDD to do, as THIS PEOPLES FEAR IS TAUGHT TOWARD GOD BY THE PRECEPT OF MEN.
BEHOLD, He will do a MARVELLOUS WORK among THIS PEOPLE, even a MARVELOUS WORK AND A WONDER, the WISDOM OF THEIFR WISE MEN SHALL PERISH, the UNDERSTANDING, of THEIR PRUDENT SHALL BE HID.
In THAT DAY, the MEEK and the POOR joy and rejoice in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, as the terrible one is BROUGHT TO NOTHING, the SCORNER IS CONSUMED, who watch for INIQUITY, they are CUT OFF. They make a man OFFEND for a word, they lay a SNARE for him that REPROVES, and turn aside the JUST FOR THESE PEOPLES THINGS OF NOTHING. His children shall SANCTIFY HIS NAME, SANCTIFY THE HOLY ONE OF JACOB, and shall FEAR THE GOD OF ISRAEL. ( not as these who HONOUR HIM WITH THEIR MOUTH AND DRAW NEAR UNTO HIM WITH THEIR LIPS/so called CONFESSION OF FAITH.)
The Lord said HEAR THIS house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and the waters of Judah, WHO SWEAR BY THE NAME OF THE LORD, and MAKE MENTION of the God of Israel, BUT NOT IN TRUTH NOR IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. They CALL THEMSELVES of the holy city, and sat THEMSELVES upon the God of Israel, the Lord of Hosts is HIS NAME.
They weary in their OWN GREATNESS, and they do not say THERE IS NO HOPE, they find the LIFE OF THEIR HAND, therefore they ARE NOT GRIEVED.
They lied and did not remember the Lord, nor laid it to their heart, He held His peace even of old and they FEAR NOT HIM. The Lord said HE WILL DECLARE THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR WORKS: FOR THEY SHALL NOT PROFIT THEM. (SURELY THEY SWEAR FALSELY.)
Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Isaiah 29:18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Isaiah 48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is his name.
Isaiah 57:10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
The Lord said run through Jerusalem, se and know, if you can find a man, if there be any that EXECUTES JUDGEMENT, that SEEKS THE TRUTH, and He will PARDON IT.
Though the men of Jerusalem and Israel speak SAYING, THE LORD LIVES, SURELY THEY SWEAR FALSELY. (WHAT A CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT.)
The Lords eyes are UPON THE TRUTH, He struck them but they HAVE NOT GRIEVED, He CONSUMED THEM, but they have REFUSED TO RECEIVE CORRECTION, making their faces harder than a rock, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RETURN.
Jeremiah 3:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Jesus does not answer the hypocritical nation of Israel doing tit for tat, but is FULFILLING/completing what He Himself had spoken/testified to all Israel, THAT PEOPLE honour the Lord with their LIPS. ( but their heart is far from me.) In VAIN THEY WORSHIP HIM, as their DOCTRINE is the commandments of men.

What COMES OUT OF THE MAN DEFILES THE MAN. ( if any man had ears to hear, then let him hear.)
His disciples did not PERCEIVE, did not UNDERSTAND, that what was without the HEART, does not DEFILE.
Jesus told the disciples, what COMES OUT OF THE MAN, DEFILES HIM. (THIS PEOPLE HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS.)
Out of the heart of man PROCEEDS EVIL THOUGHTS, adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, COVETOUSNESS, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, BLASPHEMY, pride, foolishness. ( all these EVIL things come from within and DEFILE the man.
The Epistles exhort the BELIEVERS to avoid fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. ( JESUS TOLD THE HYPOCRITES OF THEIR COVETEOUSNESS, AND COVETEOUSNESS IS THEIR IDOLATRY.)
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you HYPOCRITES, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
Mark 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Mark 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
In case it was not UNDERSTOOD, in case they did not HEAR, Matthew tells again, how THIS PEOPLE DRAW NEAR UNTO THE LORD WTH THEIR MOUTH, and HONOUR HIM WITH THEIR LIPS. ( but their HEART IS FAR FROM HIM.)
Jesus gives the UNDERSTANDING, it is not something that goes in those HYPOCRITICAL MOUTHS, that DEFILES THEM, (THOSE MOUTHS) but what comes OUT OF THE MOITH. ( that DEFILES THEIR MOIUTH.)
Jesus gives further UNDERSTANDING, THOSE THINGS WHICH PROCEED OUT OF THE MOUTH, DEFILE the man. ( they come forth from the HEART/ For out of the heart proceed EVIL THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE WITNESS, BLASPHEMIES.)
So what a CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT, are the EVIL THOUGHTS SPOKEN FROM THE MOUTH OF HYPOCRITES, the FALSE WITNESS they honour the Lord by HYPOCRITICAL MOUTHS AND LIPS, and the BLASPHEMY they SPEAK, and no true HONOUR.
Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, and HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

2 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

The Lord said He will go to the great men, for they had known the way of the Lord, and the judgement of their God, but they broke the yoke and burst the bonds, their transgressions are many, AND THEIR BACKSLIDINGS INCREASED.
Their children have forsaken the Lord, and SWORN BY THEM THAT ARE NO GODS, ( WHAT A CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT.) they committed adultery, every one neighed after his neighbours wife. How shall the soul of the Lord not be avenged on A NATION SUCH AS THAT.
Jeremiah 5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Jeremiah 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
The house of Israel and the house of Judah dealt very treacherously against the Lord, and belied the Lord, saying it is not Him, and the PROPHETS became WIND, the word is NOT IN THEM, this way shall be done unto them.
This people have a REVOLTING and a REBELLIOUS HEART. They do not say in their HEART, let us now FEAR THE LORD OUR GOD.
They OVERPASS THE DEEDS OF THE WICKED, they judge not the cause of the fatherless, they judge not the right of the needy. Shall not the Lord's soul be avenged on a NATION SUCH AS THIS.
A WONDERUL AND HORRIBLE THING IS COMMITED IN THE LAND, the PROPHETS PROPHESY FALSELY, and the PRIESTS bear rule BY THEIR MEANS, and the Lords people LOVE TO HAVE IT SO.
Jeremiah 5:11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Jeremiah 5:23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Jeremiah 5:28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
The Lords declares to Israel they shall lave their name for a curse unto HIs chosen, as the Lord would slay them and CALL HIS SERVANTS BY ANOTHER NAME. That he who blesses himself, blesses in the God of TRUTH, and he who SWEARS, SHALL SWEAR BY THE GOD OF TRUTH, as the former troubles are FORGOTTEN AND HID FROM HIS EYES. (And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely. Leviticus 19:12. Jeremiah 5:2.)
These shall be the Lords people, and He will be their God, He will GIVE THEM ONE HEART, AND ONE WAY, that they may FEAR HI FOR EVER, for their good.
He will make with them an everlasting covenant, but will PUT HIS FEAR IN THEIR HEARTS, so they do not depart from Him, He will rejoice over them to do them good, and plant them ASSUREDLY, in that land with HIS WHOLE HEART AND WITH HIS WHOLE SOUL. The Lord declared, as He had brought all that great evil upon that people, so He will bring upon them all the good that He has PROMISED UNTO THEM.
Leviticus 19:12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
Isaiah 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
Jeremiah 32:38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
The Lord said surely the men of Israel will FEAR HIM, they will RECEIVE INSTRUCTION, however He punished them they rose up and CORRUPTED ALL THEIR DOINGS. Therefore wait upon the Lord, said the Lord, HIs DETERMINATION IS TO GATHER THE NATIONS, and ASSEMLE THE KINGDOMS, and all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of HIs jealousy.
For then He will TURN TO THE PEOPLE A PURE LANGUAGE, THAT THEY MAY ALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM WITH ONE CONSENT.
He will come near to them to JUDGEMENT, HE WILL BE A SWIFT WITNESS AGAINST THE SORCERERS, AND AAINST THE ADULTERERS, AND AGAINST FALSE SWEARERS. (WHAT A CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT.)
Against those who OPPRESS, the hired hand, the widow and the fatherless, and who TURN ASIDE the stranger from HIS RIGHT, and FEAR NOT THE LORD, said the Lord of hosts.
Zephaniah 3:7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.
Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
FALSE PROPHETS, AS THERE ARE ALSO FALSE TEACHERS AMONG US.
They bring in DAMNABLE HERESIES, many follow their SUBTLE WAYS, they speak EVIL OF THE TRUTH.
THROIUGH COVETEOUSNESS, (COVETEOUSNESS IS IDOLATRY.) they with FEIGNED WORDS make merchandise of many,
CLOUDS CARRIED with a tempest, feeding themselves WITHOUT FEAR, CLOUDS they are without water CARRIED ABOUT OF WINDS. (THE PROPHETS SHALL BECOME WIND, AND THE WORD IS NOT IN THEM, THUS SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO THEM. Jeremiah 5:13.)
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2 Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jeremiah 5:13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Their children have forsaken the Lord, and SWORN BY THEM THAT ARE NO GODS, ( WHAT A CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT.) they committed adultery, every one neighed after his neighbours wife. How shall the soul of the Lord not be avenged on A NATION SUCH AS THAT.
Jeremiah 5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Jeremiah 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
The house of Israel and the house of Judah dealt very treacherously against the Lord, and belied the Lord, saying it is not Him, and the PROPHETS became WIND, the word is NOT IN THEM, this way shall be done unto them.
This people have a REVOLTING and a REBELLIOUS HEART. They do not say in their HEART, let us now FEAR THE LORD OUR GOD.
They OVERPASS THE DEEDS OF THE WICKED, they judge not the cause of the fatherless, they judge not the right of the needy. Shall not the Lord's soul be avenged on a NATION SUCH AS THIS.
A WONDERUL AND HORRIBLE THING IS COMMITED IN THE LAND, the PROPHETS PROPHESY FALSELY, and the PRIESTS bear rule BY THEIR MEANS, and the Lords people LOVE TO HAVE IT SO.
Jeremiah 5:11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Jeremiah 5:23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Jeremiah 5:28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
The Lords declares to Israel they shall lave their name for a curse unto HIs chosen, as the Lord would slay them and CALL HIS SERVANTS BY ANOTHER NAME. That he who blesses himself, blesses in the God of TRUTH, and he who SWEARS, SHALL SWEAR BY THE GOD OF TRUTH, as the former troubles are FORGOTTEN AND HID FROM HIS EYES. (And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely. Leviticus 19:12. Jeremiah 5:2.)
These shall be the Lords people, and He will be their God, He will GIVE THEM ONE HEART, AND ONE WAY, that they may FEAR HI FOR EVER, for their good.
He will make with them an everlasting covenant, but will PUT HIS FEAR IN THEIR HEARTS, so they do not depart from Him, He will rejoice over them to do them good, and plant them ASSUREDLY, in that land with HIS WHOLE HEART AND WITH HIS WHOLE SOUL. The Lord declared, as He had brought all that great evil upon that people, so He will bring upon them all the good that He has PROMISED UNTO THEM.
Leviticus 19:12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
Isaiah 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
Jeremiah 32:38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
The Lord said surely the men of Israel will FEAR HIM, they will RECEIVE INSTRUCTION, however He punished them they rose up and CORRUPTED ALL THEIR DOINGS. Therefore wait upon the Lord, said the Lord, HIs DETERMINATION IS TO GATHER THE NATIONS, and ASSEMLE THE KINGDOMS, and all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of HIs jealousy.
For then He will TURN TO THE PEOPLE A PURE LANGUAGE, THAT THEY MAY ALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM WITH ONE CONSENT.
He will come near to them to JUDGEMENT, HE WILL BE A SWIFT WITNESS AGAINST THE SORCERERS, AND AAINST THE ADULTERERS, AND AGAINST FALSE SWEARERS. (WHAT A CONFESSION OF FAITH IS NOT.)
Against those who OPPRESS, the hired hand, the widow and the fatherless, and who TURN ASIDE the stranger from HIS RIGHT, and FEAR NOT THE LORD, said the Lord of hosts.
Zephaniah 3:7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.
Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
FALSE PROPHETS, AS THERE ARE ALSO FALSE TEACHERS AMONG US.
They bring in DAMNABLE HERESIES, many follow their SUBTLE WAYS, they speak EVIL OF THE TRUTH.
THROIUGH COVETEOUSNESS, (COVETEOUSNESS IS IDOLATRY.) they with FEIGNED WORDS make merchandise of many,
CLOUDS CARRIED with a tempest, feeding themselves WITHOUT FEAR, CLOUDS they are without water CARRIED ABOUT OF WINDS. (THE PROPHETS SHALL BECOME WIND, AND THE WORD IS NOT IN THEM, THUS SHALL IT BE DONE UNTO THEM. Jeremiah 5:13.)
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2 Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jeremiah 5:13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

Soooo.....what is it? Personal, communal, denomination specific? Honestly, other than repenting from unbelief to belief and our love for Jesus Christ of Nazareth our Savior sees no boundaries , the rest comes naturally through His Holy Spirit.
I guess this could be a statement or confession of faith?

It is all that we see of the false prophets being wind, that is what a confession of faith is not.
ALL FALSE PROPHET/TEXCHERS ARE KNOWN/REVEALED NOW.
Psalm 62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

It should be, a public confession, that you believe Jesus is The Messiah and have believed in Jesus for Eternal Life.
It is not necessary for a person do do this to become a born again child of God. It is a discipleship act of a person who is already a believer.

1. Westminster Confession of Faith
2. Baptist Confession of Faith
Catholic Catechism
etc.
They define the core beliefs of a specific group, or of similar groups.
It is helpful because instead of "Well that is what Bob thinks his denomination teaches" there is instead an objective, written standard/agreed text that reliably informs us what his group teaches rather than just "one POV among many"
