I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father.And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets.And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church.I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.Following, then, the holy fathers, I unite in teaching all men to confess the one and only Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ. This selfsame one is perfect both in deity and in humanness; this selfsame one is also actually God
and actually man, with a rational soul
{meaning human soul} and a body
He is of the same reality as God as far as his deity is
concerned and of the same reality as we ourselves
as far as his humanness is concerned; thus like us in
all respects, sin only excepted.
Before time began he was begotten of the Father, in
respect of his deity, and now in these "last days," for
us and behalf of our salvation, this selfsame one was
born of Mary the virgin, who is God-bearer in respect
of his humanness.I also teach that we apprehend this one and only
Christ-Son, Lord, only-begotten -- in two natures; and
we do this without confusing the two natures, without
transmuting one nature into the other, without dividing
them into two separate categories, without
con- trasting them according to area or function.
The distinctiveness of each nature is not nullified by
the union. Instead, the "properties" of each nature
are conserved and both natures concur in one "person"
and in one reality {hypostasis}.
They are not divided or cut into two persons, but are
together the one and only and only-begotten Word
{Logos} of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.THESE ARE JUST MERELY CREEDS OR CONFESSIONS THAT HELP GIVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF MY FAITH. THE SCRIPTURE ARE MY ULTIMATE SOURCE OF UNDERSTANDING GOD AND IT IS ONLY GRACE ALONE THAT SHINES THE LIGHT INTO MY DARK DEPRAVED MIND.
