I've been asking about Church denominations creeds. Why don't you people know the creed of your church?

Answer 1

Our church doesn't have a creed. We follow the New Testament and leave all the other teachings from Christian authors out of it. If it isn't in the bible, we don't do it.

Answer 2

The Catholic Church has the Nicean Creed, which was agreed upon by all of the bishops of the Church in 325 A.D. in Nicea, a city in Asia Minor, now modern-day Turkey.(All the bishops accepted it except one, who was excommunicated - Arius). The Nicean Creed was a response to the heresy of Arianism, which claimed that Christ was not God, but rather a created being, and was only a man, thereby denying the divinity of Christ. (Modern-day Jehovah's Witnesses are of this belief).

I know the creed of my Church - **the** Church - and why it was formulated. It does not conflict with the Bible (also compiled under the auspices of *the Church*) but rather it affirms what is stated in Scripture. In the New Testament, Jesus clearly claimed to be God. The Gospel of John - first chapter, affirms that Jesus is God ("the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us). Although it's been posted here already, here it is, and this is what I know and believe, and affirm and say every Sunday when I go to Mass:

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Answer 3

Not all Christian denominations have a set "creed". Many oppose it as could be seen as placing human creeds equal with the Bible.

Most of the time they will have a statement of faith that describes their corporate beliefs with scripture to back up each of their doctrinal beliefs.

Answer 4

Only a few churches have creeds. Most non-Christian religions do not. Wiccans have the Rede, which is not really the same thing even though it rhymes.

I know the Catholic Credo because I learned it for chorus way back when.

Answer 5

This is The Christian Creed that the Holy Spirit taught us which He said is simpler and direct to the point:

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
creator of Heaven and Earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
the Lord of all of us.
He became man, conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born by the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Because of these, I fully believe
that He is the beginning and the end of all things.
And in the way that I believe in these,
in similar way do I believe that I will be saved
by way of His one and only baptism.
And in the way that I believe in these,
in similar way do I believe that He and only He
can save my soul from the fires of Hell.
Because of these, I fully place on His palms my whole being.
Amen.

Answer 6

Well, I don't have a church, but you should not be surprised at this. Most people, while they are SURE their church is the best and are willing to kill those who don't agree, aren't actually sure of what their church really stands for. One example: I worked with people who would take off for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I, the atheist, would have to explain to them what the holiday was. Most of them thought it was when Jesus was conceived, but they were wrong about that.

Answer 7

Sara, the original Christian credo was set back in 316 AD. It was in Nicea. Most people say Christianity started with the Christ Jesus, but actually it was when the emperor Constantine had that council in Nicea. You probably know it as the Apostle's creed?? That's where Christianity was cut in stone.

Answer 8

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all that is seen and unseen. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father. God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God. Begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men He came down from Heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontious Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day, He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His Kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and Son, He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Does that suffice?

Answer 9

You should not criticize.

Many denominations do not have a creed. It's a simple and well known fact.

Answer 10

Honestly, I didn't know what a creed was until I looked it up.


The most basic attempt to put the religion of Islam in a brief statement of doctrine is the shahada: That there is no God but God and Muhammed is his prophet.
