Is the Apostle's Creed and Nicene Creed only said at Catholic Mass or do Protestant services also include them

Answer 1

I was raised Lutheran.

Most Lutheran services say one creed or the other, but usually not both in the same service.

My home Lutheran church replaced the phrase, "Holy catholic church" with "Holy Christian Church".

The word "catholic" means universal and is not connected with the Roman Church.

Answer 2

A lot of protestant denominations accept the Nicene Creed. The catholic reference is a small c catholic, meaning universal and not a rererence to the so called "One True Holy Roman, Catholic Church, or whatever their exact moniker is. Who uses it in the service I am not sure. I don't want to get that close.

Answer 3

I am an LCMS Lutheran. We adhere to the three ecumenical creeds: Apostles', Nicene & Athanasian. We confess either the Apostles' or Nicene at every Sunday service. We save the Athanasian Creed for Trinity or other special occasions.

Answer 4

Both the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed are used in most Protestant denominations.
At our church these are used most often in the "traditional" service, occasionally in the "blended" service, rarely in the "contemporary" service, and to my knowledge, not at all in the young... "breakthrough" service, (in my opinion they are missing out on an amazing recitation and pledge.)

By the way, I did go to a Pentecostal church for @ 4 yrs and never heard it there. Could be somewhere that it is used in a Pentecostal church. I can't even recall it being in our hymnal.

Answer 5

Both are very important, Protestant churches use them. They have great depth and they are very good at depicting Christianity. Our church does those things but not so often that they lose meaning. But the magazine i subscribe to, Ignite Your Faith, is doing a series of articles about the Apostle's Creed.

As far as the note about believing in the holy catholic church, when i went to a Lutheran church they explained that the word catholic went deeper than just the branch of Christianity, and that's why it's not capitalized, atleast not the version we were using.

Answer 6

There is a time when your mortal body will take on immortality. You will have a resurrected, immortal body and live again on the earth. This is when Jesus comes back to rule and reign on the earth for 1,000 years. This is called the Millenium Rule of Christ. This has been Christian doctrine ever since Jesus Christ left the earth. Jesus is the first-born of the dead. This means that there will be others born from the dead. So, when we die, our spirits go to paradise to be with Jesus. At some point, Jesus comes to rapture the dead bodied out of the graves and take out His people that are living in this great rapture - they will all meet in the air. After all His people are collected, Jesus will come back to earth and we will be with Him - in our Resurrected bodies. This is ancient Christian doctrine. It is embedded in the Apostles Creed and in the Holy Bible. Most Christians do not know Christian doctrine very well. They have not been taught.

Answer 7

I have been in numerous protestant churches thru out my life time and never have any of them recited either of the creeds. Iam now a Catholic convert

Answer 8

Nicene creed is also said at the Orthodox Christian service.

Answer 9

I attend several churches of different religions and in the Methodist church they say the Apostle's Creed every Sunday.

Answer 10

Nicene creed states "we believe in one holy catholic and athostolic church" so i doubt the protestants use em
