I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he shall come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Points of Clarity:
In reference to the clause "descended into hell" found above: “Hades/ Sheol is interpreted as the grave and/or the abode of the dead. Abraham’s bosom was also contained in Hades/Sheol. We do not believe that Christ descended into Gehenna, the place of torment and punishment because the punishment for past, present, and future sins was taken care of on the Cross which is why Christ could say “It is finished.”
The "holy catholic church" is not referring to the Roman Catholic Church but refers to the universal church made up of all believers throughout all time.
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction (1); that it has God for its author, salvation for its end (2), and truth without any mixture of error for its matter (3); that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us (4); and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union (5), and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried (6).
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is YAHWEH, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and earth (7); inexpressibly glorious in holiness (8), and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love (9); that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (10); equal in every divine perfection (11), and executing distinct and harmonious offices in the great work of redemption (12).
