The purpose of creeds in any religion is to help define what a person or group believes. The problem with them is that if they are taken the wrong way, they can distance you from Goid rather than getting you closer to him. Case in point are the Pharisees and religious leaders of Jesus' day. When questions or challenges come up against The Bible or doctrine, then creeds can help define what you believe. For instance, The Apostles Creed.
