THEOS prōtos

I believe in the One true God, who is in three persons:

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit:

Who is eternal, holy, and perfect:

Almighty, all knowing, and always present:

Just, merciful, gracious, good, loving, and unchanging:

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ, his one and only begotten Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary:

Having two natures; fully God eternal, and fully man incarnate:

He lived the sinless life, fulfilled prophecies, and proven with divine miracles:

Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried:

The third day he rose again from the dead:

He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead:

The faithless to eternal hell, and the saints to the new heaven and new earth:

I believe in the Holy Spirit:

Who convicts mankind of sin and is the counselor and perfect helper of saints:

I believe all mankind is sinful and unable to save themselves:

Those who are chosen by God are unconditionally elected, called, and drawn by God the Father:

Their sin atoned for once and for all by the work of the Lamb of God on the cross:

And brought into faith and eternally sustained by The Holy Spirit:

The new life of grace and truth in Christ Jesus:

I am saved by God’s grace through this faith in His Son:

I believe in the holy universal church which has many different members:

The communion of saints:

The symbol of baptism and remembrance in The Lords Supper:

Submission to the elders and deacons who are of the saints called by God:

The forgiveness of sins:

The resurrection of the body:

And the life everlasting.

All revealed in Holy Scripture that which has been made complete and knowable:

Declared by The Holy Spirit through the Prophets and Apostles:

Which is God’s Holy Word, sufficient for Salvation and sole absolute authority of the faith:

All for God’s Glory, in all, and through all:

All for His Will to be done for all time, Amen.
