What is the Basic Profession of Christian Faith? What set of beliefs unit most people that call themselves Christian, and where can they be found in Holy Scripture? See below: I believe in one God (Hebrews 11:6), the Father (I Corinthians 8:6) Almighty (Apocalypse 1:8 [Revelation in Protestant Bibles]). Maker of Heaven and Earth (Exodus 20:11), and of all things visible and invisible. (Jeremias 32:17). And in one Lord (Acts 10:36) Jesus (Matthew 1:21) Christ (John 4:25), the only-begotten Son of God (John 1:14), born of the Father, before all ages (I John 4:9): God of God, light of light (John 1:4), true God of true God (John 5:18); begotten, not made (John 8:58); consubstantial (of one Being) with the Father (John 10:30); by whom all things were made (John 1:3). Who for us men and for our salvation (Matthew 1:21) came down from Heaven (John 3:31), and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost (Luke 1:35) of the Virgin Mary (Luke 2:6) and was made man (John 1:14). He was crucified also for us (Mark 15:25); suffered under Pontius Pilate (Matthew 27:26), and was buried (Matthew 27:60). And the third day he rose again (Matthew 28:6) according to the Scriptures (I Corinthians 15:4); and ascended into Heaven (Luke 24:51). He sitteth at the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); and he shall come again with glory (Matthew 25:31) to judge the living and the dead (II Timothy 4:1); of whose kingdom there shall be no end (Luke 1:33). And in the Holy Ghost (John 14:26), the Lord (cf. Isaias 6:8; Acts 28:25), and Giver of life (Romans 8:2), who proceedeth from the Father (John 15:26) and the Son (Romans 8:9), who, together with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified (Apocalypse 4:8); who spoke by the prophets (II Peter 1:21). And One (John 10: 16) Holy (Ephesians 5:26) Universal and (Romans 10:18) Apostolic Church (Ephesians 2:20). I confess one baptism (Ephesians 4:5) for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). And I look for the resurrection of the dead (Romans 6:5), and the life of the world to come (Matthew 25:34). AMEN (Apocalypse 5:14)
