Remarks bouncing off the link…
Deeds without creeds? Rick Warren popularized this meme. In fact, if I’m not mistaken, he says, “Deeds NOT Creeds.” Throwing out the need for any foundational understanding at all!
This leads to nothing more than self righteousness, works righteousness for salvation, and the eventual synchretistic view that “all faiths are the same.” It’s implication in the final analysis means no need for a Savior! Opening the door to a one world religion. See how subtle the adversary is!
“Deeds without creeds” is spiritual quicksand, not the rock solid foundation of Christ, the Cross, and the understanding of what the Gospel is all about. Must be why some famous preachers like to hob nob with Oprah, the Pope, Eckhart Tolle, and other promoters of a New Age one world religion. That’s where it goes. St. John warns early believers, “They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.” 1 John 4:5.
Creeds EXPANDED have implications, which every Christian does well to ponder and pray about, whether one’s church confesses a creed on Sunday morning or not. You cannot have deeds in keeping with the Gospel, without understanding the ancient foundational Truth of the church. Just as there should be no issues with reciting the Lord’s Prayer, there should be no issue with confessing one’s faith through the creeds.
This above link is written from a Lutheran perspective, and it’s a good understanding that is brought to the table of Christendom.
Quote: “To say ‘Deeds before Creeds’ is a gross delusion of the Law, and an improper understanding of the Gospel. What we believe effects how we act, and it is not the other way around. Without constantly preaching the Gospel to ourselves, we are all too eager to forget it, and we lick our lips at the prospect of taking the crown of Christ and placing it upon our self-reliance, and work righteousness…”
Into And Out Of The Blue 
Satan is very clever when it comes to these things. He will discredit the very things that preserve the church to destroy the church!
