Let us begin. It is rather obvious that most if not all Christians, to truly call themselves such would be required to accept wholeheartedly (with the exception of Article III perhaps) the first five of the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion. As I do, so there is no real need to expound upon them at this time.
Article VI- "Of the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation"
I do agree with the reformers that there is nothing that is not contained within the covers of the Holy Bible that a man Must be required to believe, to be saved.
Among Anglo-Catholics things such as the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin etc. are rarely believed to hold the Keys of the Kingdom (and other outright Roman Dogmas, that any good Anglican worth his salt would avoid like plague anyway.) But, I am a believer in the option of "Pious Thought", or what the Lutherans would call "Adiaphora", things that are neither required or forbidden to believe.
I do find it difficult to swallow that there are indeed folks who demonize those who would hold such thoughts that do not push the requirement of belief in them. I doubt our Lord would number among the goats those who held belief in the assumption.
As far as requirement of things contained in the Apocrypha, I am indifferent. I have always used/studied the Apocryphal literature, and I would not bother me one bit if I was told that something therein is required of me. But like I said, I have never known another Bible.
Just like the first five articles, I agree that Articles VII and VIII are to be believed.
