To Know and Speak by Joe Bliffen 5/24/2009
I am a Disciples of Christ pastor. I am “certified by the Christian Church in Ohio’s Commission on Ministry as a clergy person who has standing with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)” (from a letter confirming this recognition dated October 2004).
I also believe the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired, inerrant revelation of God and that the 27 books of the New Testament are the only authority for the faith, practice, morals, and ethics of both individual Christians and the church.
I believe creation took place over the course of six 24-hour days through the spoken Word of God. I believe the Genesis history of Adam and Eve and of the worldwide flood at the time of Noah. I believe in the virgin birth of Christ, his physical resurrection from the dead, and that Jesus is coming again to save the redeemed and condemn the unredeemed.
I believe a person is saved by the grace of God through one’s faith in Jesus and repentance of sins when he is immersed into Christ.

The article goes on from there but the statement of faith/belief is wonderful. Way to go Joe Bliffen!
