| | Apostles' Creed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Apostles' Creed is widely used by a number of Christian denominations for both liturgical and catechetical purposes, most visibly by liturgical churches of Western tradition, including Roman (Latin-rite) Catholic churches, Lutheran churches, member churches of the Anglican Communion, and Western Orthodox denominations. | | | The Apostle's Creed is then recited, in which is divided into three parts; the celebrant asks whether they believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, to which the Creed is stated in its three divisions in respect to the Three Persons of the Trinity. | | | Some modern readers may differ in opinion about this phrase referring to the Roman Catholic Church, most notably the only church in existence at the time of this creed's creation, and may substitute it with the word "Christian" and have no fear of incorrectly translating the text into English. |

| | The Apostles' Creed |
| | Most of the Creed is about Jesus Christ, for he is the definitive doctrine of the faith. | | | The Creed was believed to be in full agreement with the apostolic writings, and the same churches accepted both the Creed and the Scriptures as authoritative, as faithful reports of what the apostles taught. | | | The Creed was a public statement of faith, a standardized way in which new people could confess their faith in Jesus Christ. |

| | Ecumenical Christian Creeds |
| | The Apostles' Creed is one of the oldest creeds of Christianity, dating in an early form to at least the middle second century with roots in the biblical traditions of the Gospels. | | | The first creeds of the Christian Church are called ecumenical creeds because they were decided upon in church councils that represented the entire church at the time before the church permanently spilt into Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Roman) factions in AD 1054. | | | The concern was that the original wording made Jesus the Christ subordinate to the Father, a view that the Western church felt endangered the doctrine of the Trinity. |

| | The Apostles' Creed has never been declared infallible by the definition of an ecumenical council or a pope; but it is commonly accepted as an infallible statement of Catholic truths because its articles are scriptural and have been accepted by the Church from ancient and even apostolic times. | | | When group instructions in Christian doctrine were given to adult catechumans during Lent in the early Church, their course of doctrine was called the "handing over of the `symbol'" that is, of the Creed or formula of faith. | | | Then on the fourth Sunday of Lent, all were asked to recite the Creed from memory in Church. |

| | History reveals to us that it was called the "Apostles' Creed" because there were myths proliferating in the early Church that the apostles wrote it on the tenth day after Christ's ascension. | | | The word Creed itself is from the Latin [credo] meaning I believe, thus the apostles creed was a statement of Christian beliefs, or things which they trusted true. | | | Unfortunately some today have the mistaken idea that the word 'catholic' belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, and are puzzled as to why the Apostles' Creed would refer to the Holy 'Catholic' Church. |

| | It is now possible to use the Apostles Creed, which is the Western Creed, witnessed to in Rome in the third century and explained by such great Fathers as Ambrose, Augustine, Rufinus, and present in the Gelasian Sacramentary which carries the Roman liturgical practice of the sixth century, going back to Hippolytus of Rome. | | | This is the beginning of the Nicene Creed, but the Apostles' Creed begins with "Credo in Deum", "I believe in God". | | | It is surprising that the Apostles' Creed in the 2002 Roman Missal, page 513, begins "Credo in unum Deum", "I believe in one God". |

| | Outside of the administration of baptism the Apostles' Creed is recited daily in the Church, not only at the beginning of Matins and Prime and the end of Compline, but also ferially in the course of Prime and Compline. | | | It is commonly taught that all points of doctrine contained in it are part of the Catholic Faith, and cannot be called in question under pain of heresy (St. Thomas, Summa Theologica, II-II:1:9). | | | Hence Catholics have generally been content to accept the Creed in the form, and in the sense, in which it has been authoritatively expounded by the living voice of the Church. |

| | Both the Apostles and the Fathers placed in the articles of faith that Christ is the Son of God by saying: "And (I believe) in Jesus Christ, His (i.e., God's) only Son."[2] ERRORS RELATING TO THE SECOND ARTICLE There were, however, certain heretics who erred in this belief. | | | Hence, it is said in the Nicene Creed: "He came down from heaven." Manichaeus, however, said that Christ was always the Son of God and He descended from heaven, but He was not actually but only in appearance clothed in true flesh. | | | THE FOURTH ARTICLE: "Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried." It is just as necessary for the Christian to believe in the passion and death of the Son of God as it is to believe in His Incarnation. |
