YouTube description

Protestantism is a renewal movement within the church, but does not claim to be the "one true church." This claim better matches the principles laid out in the New Testament for discerning the church than the rival claims of traditions such as Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and others.

NOTE: I said the Dositheus quote was made against those who affirm the filioque; after the video I re-read the context and its actually more about those outside the true episcopate. But it amounts to the same kind of exclusivity. See my debate with Father Patrick Ramsey for more such quotations.

Truth Unites is a mixture of apologetics and theology, with an irenic focus.

Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai.
