I see there are a lot of heretical so-called "Christians" around.

I don't believe in one baptism for the remission of sins. Otherwise it's good.

The Nicene Creed is based upon the dogmas of the Catholic Church... which is a RELIGION... being a CHRISTIAN does not imply that you belong to any ONE organized church's religion... the word CHRISTIAN means that you believe in God and his son, Jesus, the Christ, which is a basic belief in most Christian religions... numerous Christian religions... So the Nicene Creed is relevant only to the Catholic religious belief. And it is the Catholic Christians that believe in the Nicene Creed.

The Nicene Creed is of Catholic origin. Being a Catholic myself, yes I believe.

Yes. Both sides of the "split church Greek and Latin held to this creed against those who denied the Trinity and the person of Christ being true God and True man. Only the proceeding of the Spirit part was believed differently, minor compared to the rest of the creed

No, it was man deciding the God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are one. God has made it seem as they are separate at times and one at times so only you can decide how you look at it. But if you do believe they are one then yes you would be following the Nicene Creed. I for one believe it is God, his son Jesus Christ and the Holly Ghost as separate entities but working together as one.

Yes I do believe, and I think if most people who claim they don't could get past their anti-Catholic bigotry, they'd realize that the creed makes most of the basic claims about Christianity we mostly all believe (other than perhaps Mormons, oneness Pentecostals, and Jehovah's witnesses.)
The only controversial element for most would be the "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church" - but even that, if one reads small c catholic into it, is not controversial - it simply means the universal church (that's what catholic means.) Since Jesus prayed that "may they all be one", I would think even the most hardened protestant would argue that the "universal church" is biblical?

The only thing I believe is the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ died for my sins, He was buried and took my sins away and He rose again for my justification. I have no creed. The Lord Jesus Christ did it all for me and that is all I need. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

NO!
Because there is no such thing as a Holy Ghost, Communion of Saints, resurrection of the body.
The creed was written by man not by God.

If you read the facts (not the movie version) you will understand why the creed can be trusted.

Nope! It is a convoluted concoction of words that contradicts its contentious contents.

That was the catholic church, not Christians.
