>>I should have been more precise. Given a person's background, we may
indeed wonder in what sense a person is accepting the Statement of Faith.
Furthermore, I see nothing wrong with frank discussion among members of
theological differences in light of the creeds. But I don't think that the
ASA as an organization should be investigating the theology of applicants
for
membership if they accept the Statement of Faith unless there is obvious
evidence of dissimulation.
As I said earlier, the ASA is not a Church and its Statement of
Faith
is not a condition for church fellowship. I think there are serious errors
in
the theology of the Unification Church & that's true in varying degrees for
some other churches whose members are represented in ASA. There are strong
and weak points in having a relatively broad statement of the type we
presently have but I think the strengths outweigh the weaknesses.>>
Hi George. What is the ASA's position on being born again? I
believe that Christ considered it a necessity.
