Description
The Baptist Faith and Message has long served as the most widely recognized statement of faith among Southern Baptists, serving as the doctrinal standard that identifies the general faith and practice of Southern Baptist churches. This volume by Daniel Scheiderer offers a clear and accessible commentary on each article of the BF&M 2000.
Each section walks through the articles and provides a brief exposition of the key biblical texts that support them. This is not technical or academic, Still Confessing is written to help readers understand not only what the confession says, making it suitable for both personal study and group settings. Centered around Scripture, it encourages careful attention to both doctrine and practice in the life of the church.
Endorsements
The Baptist Faith and Message (BFM) has served as the most recognized statement of faith for Southern Baptists since 1925. The latest revision in 2000 serves as the doctrinal standard that identifies the general faith and practice of Southern Baptist churches. In this volume Daniel Scheiderer gives a helpful, positive commentary on the BFM by examining each article and giving a brief exposition of the supporting biblical texts. The result is a valuable tool that is suitable not only for personal reading but also for use in Sunday Schools or small group studies.

Paul told Timothy to watch his life and doctrine closely. “Persist in this,” he said, “for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:16). We are in times which require Christians, and particularly church leaders, to watch our doctrine. This exposition of the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 serves that very purpose. You will find a helpful and engaging analysis of the Baptist Faith and Message that will equip pastors and teachers to persevere in the truth.
