Creeds, Confessions, and Catechisms
These confessions, catechisms and creeds that we have presented here for your consideration have been carefully developed through time and trial by thoughtful men to aid and assist the doctrinally minded Christian to “correctly handle the word of truth” (2nd Timothy 2:15). It is our belief that the Second London Baptist Confessional of 1689 has stood the test of time and is an extremely valuable resource by serving to encapsulate and crystallize the Holy Scriptures.
While we would never make the grievous error of placing confessions, catechisms or creeds on the same level as the inerrant, authoritative, all-sufficient Word of God, we do believe these documents serve as helpful tools to develop the Biblical, systematic, theological framework in the life of a Christian that is so very important.
Creed: The Nicene Creed
“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 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. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped 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.”
