Recently another thread made me start to think about the place of Tradition amongst Fundamentalists. I know we have some Baptists here, some Anglicans, I think some Presbyterians.
I would like to ask what place does Tradition play in your Church's formation of doctrine and do you feel that the stance is correct, or incorrect and why?
In my church we strive to follow Scripture alone in the recognition and formation of doctrine we strive to understand the culture in which that Scripture was written, its purpose, its audience and the conditions under which it was inspired. Of course we realize that we are fallible and we strive to be charitable in receiving honest criticisms of our doctrinal stance.
I personally feel that this is the biblical method but I suppose if I didn't I wouldn't be there.
OK ask any questions you want and please leave your response for others to read as well.
