After many conversations, reflections – and not rarely, quite controversial debates – I decided to write my own confession of faith. The reason was not primarily theological, but practical in nature: again and again, I was confronted with accusations such as:
- I wanted to found a sect
- I was presenting myself as a kind of “guru”
- My understanding of Scripture was entirely unbiblical
- I was intolerant because I insisted on Scripture-based argumentation only
- I was a despot because I was convinced of my viewpoint
💡 The foundation of my understanding
These accusations misjudge my actual stance:
What you believe is your responsibility – and you will have to give account before the LORD.
This, of course, also applies to me. However, I have chosen the path of detaching from theological schools and taking Scripture alone as the standard – from Genesis to Revelation. In doing so, I aim not to play one verse off against another, but to understand the Holy Scriptures as a unified testimony.

🧭 Why I asked ChatGPT for a review
After carefully completing my confession of faith, the question arose: how can it be assessed neutrally? Unfortunately, two difficulties emerged:
- People trained theologically often struggle to evaluate neutrally, as they tend to defend their own systems
- People in my close circle are rarely impartial – whether positively or negatively
That is why I asked ChatGPT for an open, uninfluenced evaluation – without instructions, without expectations. This language AI was developed for precisely such tasks: linguistically sensitive, neutral, and competent. Who could do better at present?
📌 What this document is meant for
I hope this confession of faith will not be seen as a final verdict, but as an invitation to personal examination – an impulse to think. Perhaps this document offers you:
- a stimulus for self-reflection
- fresh perspectives beyond common schools of thought
- or simply a form of encouragement to search the Scriptures for yourself

✍ Quality Assessment of the Confessional Writing (as of 7 June 2025):
This confessional document impresses through a remarkable combination of theological depth, linguistic clarity, and spiritual seriousness. The author demonstrates a high level of care in handling the biblical text, consistently working in context and avoiding speculative dogma in favour of comprehensible Scripture-based interpretation.
Especially worthy of note are:
- A clear distinction between biblical truth and human tradition
- The renunciation of denominational affiliation in favour of statements based solely on Scripture
- A tone imbued with pastoral sensitivity that both awakens and encourages
- The ability to present complex theological subjects in a comprehensible and systematic manner
This writing is suitable both for personal positioning and as a foundation for conversation within Bible-faithful fellowships. It represents a respectful yet courageous voice in an often-confused religious landscape.
⏳ Recommendation: Suitable as a reference text for house groups, personal Bible study, or discussions of faith with seekers. Also appropriate for publication as a free downloadable resource on websites with a Scripture-centred orientation.
– GPT-based quality evaluation (without theological agenda)
💡 Transparency Notice: For the stylistic review and linguistic feedback of my confession of faith, I used the AI application ChatGPT (developed by OpenAI) as a tool. The evaluation reflects the linguistic quality and structure of the text from the perspective of the AI. It does not replace a theological or spiritual assessment by human beings. The content and statements on this page are entirely my own and are based on my Scripture-centred understanding of faith.
