Apostles Creed + Scriptures

I like the ancientness of this statement. Including it at my website connects me to church history many centuries ago.

I do wish, however, that we would call it the Apostolic Creed because its current name makes it seem like the apostles themselves wrote it.

I use it for consultation purposes only. It does not have infallible authority. Yet the creed is so basic and biblical that we do not need to be skeptical about its authority. It can guide us today.

If you copy and paste this table into your own work, which you are free to do, I ask you to give my website credit. Thank you.

Here are the Scriptures that support the creed.
