Apostles' Creed
The Apostles' Creed is the Creed of the Apostolic Church, which contains no explicit statement of a trinity of persons, as indicated in the phrase, I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary: also in the Holy Spirit. This creed is in agreement with the doctrines of the New Church, as it does not mention a Son who existed from eternity, but rather the Son born in time to the virgin Mary. In the New Church, the Son is not a separate person, but the human born in time to the virgin Mary by which God became man and man became God.

Famous quotes containing the word creed:
“I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
