Yes, & we confess the 2d & 3d articles do, but don't usually
call ourselves "salvationists" or "sanctificationists".
IMO the word "creationist" has, unfortunately been so badly
compromised that I don't use it for myself. I believe that God is the
creator. If someone asks "are you a creationist?", I'll ask what they
mean by the word & answer accordingly.
