Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Cavite, Philippines 1. Introduction “All Christians engage in confessional synthesis,” wrote theologian Carl R. Trueman.1 Some religious groups adhere to a public confession of faith as subject to public scrutiny whereas others are immune to such scrutiny. Early Seventh-day Adventists, with strong ties to the Christian Connexion, feared lest the creation of a statement of beliefs so that some at some point may disagree with that statement may at some point be excluded.2 Another danger was that statements of belief might be used to present making new discoveries from Scripture, or afterward a new truth might be stifled by appealing to the authority of an already established creed. From the perspective of early Sabbatarian Adventists, some remembered the time when during the Millerite revival that statements of belief were used to exclude them from church fellowship.3 These fears were aptly expressed during the earliest organizational developments in 1861 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to denominational co-founder, James White: “making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. The Bible is 1 Carl R.

    "THE ROLE OF BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS IN PRESERVING UNITY IN THE CHURCH" By Raymond F. COttrell March 12, 1996 THE ROlE OF BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS IN PRESERVING UNITY IN THE CHURCH Raymond F. Cottrell P A R T I In His intercessory prayer just before entering the garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed that those who follow Him "may all be one ••. so that the world may believe that you have sent me."l Unity is essential to the cred­ ibility of our witness, as a community of faith, to the everlasting gospel. "Unityn was also the official motif of the recent General Conference Session in Utrecht. The basis for unity is our faithfulness, under the aegis of the Holy Spirit, as individuals and corporately as a church, to what we call the Gol­ den Rule: "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you."2 The golden Rule is particularly important for those in positions of power and authority in the church. The gospel requires them to be examples of this principle in all of their relationships to members of the household of faith, whether co 11 ect i ve 1y or as i nd ivi dua 1 s: "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them~ and their great ones are tyrants over them. It wi 11 not be so among you, 11 Jesus instructed His disci p1 es, "but whosoever wishes to be great among you must be your slave."3 The Golden Rule and this servant-leadership principle require that those who are "great" among us--our elected leaders at all levels of leadership; members of church boards, conference, union, and division committees; and delegates to conference, union, and General Conference sessions--"serve" the church and not think of leadership in terms of authority and control, but of service.3 This is especially true of delegates to a General Conference session, who are entrusted with ultimate doctrinal and policy decisions for the world church.
