Hebrews 10

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Confession [1]: orthodoxy

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Romans 1010 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and

with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.2 Corinthians 913 ...they glorify God for the obedience of your

confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men...

Confession [2]: orthodoxy and orthopraxy

Acts 242 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’

doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Confession [3]: orthopathy

Romans 617 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of

doctrine to which you were delivered.

Proverbs 4:2323 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.Matthew 15:18-2018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

Confession [4]: heretic = divisive man

Romans 1617 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary

to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

Titus 310 Reject a divisive [αιρετικόν] man after the first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

Confession [5]: What is “non-disputable”?

“The Bible is the inspired word of God and the foundation of our faith. We believe the Apostles’ creed to be a most modest summation of that faith.” LCC Statement of Faith

Confession [6]: The Apostles’ creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Ghost;The holy Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
