ABSTRACT
Almost all the Christian creeds have been written in the cultural context of Western civilization with its legacies from Hebraic, Greek, and Roman civilization. The twentieth century has witnessed the maturing of indigenous churches in other cultural contexts. As yet, these churches have produced few creeds. Many of those that they have produced are in Western idiom. One of the most authentic creeds of the Younger Churches was produced by the Great Synod of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestant in 1951. This creed was drawn up without the help of Western theologians, and it speaks to the actual situation in which the Church exists. The Holy Scripture is completely sufficient to reveal God's being and his will, and the Holy Scripture is also completely sufficient to teach what man must believe in order to receive eternal life.
