The CEF Statement of Faith

I was messing around as usual today when I came across the CEF Statement of Faith
I like reading it because it reminds me of what's so vitally important about the Christian faith. Here's my favorite bit: 


   "...No degree of reformation however great, no attainment in morality however high, no culture however attractive, no humanitarian and philanthropic schemes and societies however useful, no baptism or other ordinance however administered, can help the sinner take even one step toward Heaven; but a new nature imparted from above, a new life implanted by the Holy Spirit through the Word is absolutely essential to salvation...


   "No repentance, no feeling, no faith, no good resolutions, no sincere efforts, no submission to the rules and regulations of any church can add in the very least to the value of the precious blood or to the merit of that finished work wrought for us by Him, who tasted death for every man.

   Nothing, zip, nada from myself. It's all about the person and work of Jesus Christ.
