| | - The Symbol of Faith |
 | | Faith in the Church is not a substitute for faith in God. | | | The Orthodox Church's prayers for the dead are based on faith in universal resurrection and on the unity of the Churches Militant and Triumphant. | | | Faith in Christ leads us to the Church, and life in Christ is life in the Church. |

| | OCA - The Orthodox Faith |
| | The Orthodox Faith > Doctrine > The Symbol of Faith | | | To be an Orthodox Christian is to affirm the Orthodox Christian faith -- not merely the words, but the essential meaning of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan symbol of faith. | | | This whole Symbol of Faith was ultimately adopted throughout the entire Church. |

| | Catechism of the Catholic Church - The profession of the christian faith |
| | A symbol of faith is a summary of the principal truths of the faith and therefore serves as the first and fundamental point of reference for catechesis. | | | This synthesis of faith was not made to accord with human opinions, but rather what was of the greatest importance was gathered from all the Scriptures, to present the one teaching of the faith in its entirety. | | | The symbol of faith, then, is a sign of recognition and communion between believers. |

| | Summa Theologica (SS_Q1_A9) |
| | Now the faith of the Church is living faith; since such is the faith to be found in all those who are of the Church not only outwardly but also by merit. | | | Hence the confession of faith is expressed in a symbol, in a manner that is in keeping with living faith, so that even if some of the faithful lack living faith, they should endeavor to acquire it. | | | Therefore it is unfitting for the symbol of faith to be expressed in the words: "I believe in one God." |

| | SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Who has the right to propose a symbol of faith? |
| | The truth of faith is sufficiently explicit in the teaching of Christ and the apostles. | | | Consequently to publish a new edition of the symbol belongs to that authority which is empowered to decide matters of faith finally, so that they may be held by all with unshaken faith. | | | But since it contained briefly the whole truth of faith, it was accepted by the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff, so as to be considered as a rule of faith. |

| | The Principles of the Orthodox Faith |
| | The Church is Holy because her faithful children are sanctified by the word of God, prayer, and the Sacraments. | | | The oneness of the Church depends on oneness of Faith and Grace. | | | A person without faith is like a blind man. Faith gives man spiritual vision by which he can see and understand the essence of all that surrounds him: how and why everything was created, what is the goal of life, what is right and what is not, and ultimately what one must strive towards. |

| | Catholic Question & Answer |
| | In the Eucharistic Liturgy, the profession of faith is the "symbol" of faith (creed) which verbally expresses the basic tenets of the Christian faith. | | | A profession of faith is an outward expression of the Christian faith. | | | Such changes would be from ignorance to faith, from doubt to certainty, from attachment to sin to holiness. |

| | That the gifts of the Spirit are given on the faith of others, we are given proof of in the Gospels, concerning the healing of the cripple: When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee (Mark 2:5). | | | To the word "begotten," in the Symbol of Faith, are added the words "not made." These words were added to refute the false heresy of Arius, who held that the Son of God was not begotten, but made. | | | The words of the Symbol of Faith, "In one God," indicate the uniqueness of the true God. |

| | Saudi Aramco World : The Minaret: Symbol of Faith & Power |
| | Whether or not minarets are actually used to call the faithful to prayer, they remain potent symbols of Islam, and have sometimes been targeted accordingly. | | | When Islam was revealed in the early seventh century, Jews called the faithful to prayer with the shofar (ram’s horn) and Christians used a bell or a wooden gong or clacker. | | | In West and East alike, minarets have become such a distinctive symbol of Islam that political cartoonists use them as shorthand to indicate a Middle Eastern or Islamic setting, and authors and publishers use the word similarly to refer to the Muslim world or Islam itself. |
