The 2017 Statement of Belief is becoming the preferred theological affirmation of many of the churches of South Africa, not only Baptist churches. This is so because it deals with contemporary issues like abortion, gender affirmation, the distinction of gender roles in home and church, the work of the Holy Spirit, the inerrancy of the Bible and the mission of God in the world.
