· What you believe about God shapes everything about you.

I believe—In God the Father Almighty—Creator of Heaven/Earth.

And in Jesus Christ—His only Son—Our Lord.

Gnosticism

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

was born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.

On the third day, He rose again.

He ascended into heaven,

is seated at the right hand of the Father,

and will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy universal Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Credo

I believe so fully that I give my heart,

my trust, and my life to this truth, no matter the cost.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty

Omnipotentem

having absolute power and supreme authority;

unrivaled, uncontested, and unlimited

in all creation, time, and existence

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.

Demiurge

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1, 3

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
