The main reason people put a statement of faith on a web site is to affirm their dogma to the self righteous.
You should always have a statement of faith, IMO. Yours could be this:I believe in one God and you are not He! LOL Could you imagine peoples reaction to that?

The truth is that if I ever pastor I will probably not have a statement of faith either. Though there are some "seekers" that shop over the net. Because of that I would give that info when you call or come by. I do agree that alot of peoples Statement of faith is to promote Dogma, that is a great point.
