Company Policy

I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth
and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of His Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried.
And the third day He rose again
according to the Scriptures
and ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of the Father.
And He will come again with glory to judge
both the living and the dead,
whose kingdom will have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together
is worshiped and glorified,
who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Ditto!

We say this every single Sunday at church.

See! We DO have something in common! :-)

We always say the Apostles' Creed. The Nicene we read every so often.

Well, technically we profess belief in the "one holy Catholic and apostolic Church."

I thought Lutherans just used a lower case 'c' but I guess not all, huh?

Our former pastor always used the "one holy catholic and apostolic Church" version in our services. The new pastor uses the "Christian" version.

I used the first version that popped up on the LCMS website. :-)
