The "Apostles Creed" is an early statement of [[Christianity|Christian]] belief, probably from the first or second century. It appears to have been written as a response to [[Gnosticism]]. The Apostles' Creed is widely used by a number of [[Protestant]] denominations for both services and theological education, most visibly by the [[Lutheran]] and [[Anglican]] churches.
===English version===
Below is the text of the creed as translated by the International Consultation on English Texts:
: I believe in [[God]], the [[God the Father|Father]] almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
: I believe in [[Jesus]] [[Christ]], God's only Son, our [[Lord]].
: He was conceived by the power of the [[Holy Spirit]] and born of the [[Virgin Mary|Virgin Mary]].
: He suffered under [[Pontius Pilate]], was [[crucifixion|crucified]], died, and was buried.
: He descended into [[hell]].
: On the third day he rose again.
: He ascended into [[heaven]],
: And is seated at the right hand of the Father.
: He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
: I believe in the [[Holy Spirit]],
: The holy catholic Church,
: The [[communion of saints]],
: The forgiveness of sins,
: The [[resurrection]] of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.''
===Theological issues===
It does not address some of the [[Christology|Christological]] issues associated with the later [[Nicene Creed]] and other Christian Creeds. In particular, it was acceptable to many Arians and Unitarians.
