But some baptists take pride in being non-credal since they see creeds as extensions of Catholic Tradition. Those same baptists often emphasize statements of belief which are essentially creeds.
The recitation of creeds in liturgy are also seen as empty ritual to some Baptists.
Gold Dragon said:There seems to be some confusion between the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed.
The Nicene Creed was written in the First Council of Nicea in 325AD and was a response to Arianism. Gwenyfur quoted it above and it did include a line about the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
The Apostle's Creed is suspected to be written in the first or second centuries as a response to Gnosticism. Arians could also agree to the Apostles Creed so the Nicene Creed was created to solidify the doctrine of the Trinity, among other things.
Here is the text of the Apostle's Creed although many modern versions of the creed substitute "into hell" with "to the dead".

Matthan said:So, I reject all "creeds". My beliefs are simple, and based on Scripture alone. And, should anyone try to equate my personal statement of faith as being a "creed", I would disagree. It is my personal statement of faith, and each precept that it contains is supported by solid Scripture, and with no question of interpretation. It applies only to me, and not to any denomination or congregation. Furthermore, while I believe it with all of my heart, I do not repeat it, ritualistically or otherwise. I choose to leave the rituals to those who need them. Personally, I do not.
BT said:I reject wikpedia!
arunma said:Actually, Wikipedia is written largely by devil-worshiping atheists. Be careful not to trust it too far on religious matters.
Gold Dragon said:Are you serious? Did you know you can correct the lies of those devil-worshipping atheists? Show me one page where those devil-worshipping atheists have misrepresented the truth
I wrote and edited most of the page on Baptists in Wikipedia. So what does that make me?
Gold Dragon said:FYI, a devil worshipper is not an atheist.
arunma said:I read the page on Baptists. Good job! It represents us quite well. As for the atheist pages, just check out some of the information on creationism. I'm not really much of a creationist (in fact, I don't like the way creationists often lie about science), and even I know that atheists misrepresented the issue.
arunma said:When you worship yourself as atheists do, who are you really worshiping? I think that atheism is equivalent to blasphemy of the Spirit, which is the unforgivable sin.
SVH said:I have always known and acknowlegde the Apostles' Creed. I was quite shocked to hear that Baptists reject this. Why?
