The Relationship within the Trinity: The Father
and Son
Creeds of Christendom
The Apostles Creed
The Apostles Creed (cir. ?)
 I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth.
 And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was
conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and
buried; he descended into hell* the third day he rose again
from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the
right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he
shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
 I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the
communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the
resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.
