Nicene Creed

• Universally accepted by all Christians to define
  what their belief is
• 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, one in being
  with the Father. Through Him all things were
  made. For us men and our salvation He came down
  from heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit, He
  was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man. For
  our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate
  He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third
  day He rose again in fulfillment of 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 and the Son. 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.
