In discourse of regulative and normative principles of worship, an element that subsists as a crucial source of contention is that of creedal employment in Christian worship gatherings. Certainly, there is no explicit command to employ such confessions. Nonetheless, the value of creedal texts has been observed for centuries, since the early church, and even prior. This paper will contend for an unapologetic use of creeds in worship on a threefold basis.

1)      The historic creeds, derived from Scripture, present a survey of the gospel,

2)      creeds point to a deeper biblical reality and serve as springboards into the mysteries of the faith, and

3)      creeds are historically tested and tried, leaving little room for error.
