A Humble Statement of Faith

Speaking of orthodoxy, I was looking through the “statement of faith” at the website monergism.com. Their statement concerning eschatology is quite fair and humble. We are often arrogant in our dogmatics and that’s rarely the wisest approach. I see this as an example I can certainly learn from. I share it hoping you too might find it useful.
At the end of the age we expect the personal, bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Scriptures. We find that the amillennial view has the most biblical evidence, and therefore, this is the view we affirm. But we do not teach with surety any of the major millennial views, but encourage each person to study the Scriptures and come to their own conclusion. In preparation for His coming we are called to live holy lives. Through years of study we personally favor the amillennial understanding of the eschaton.
