The Apostle’s Creed

There are several versions of the Apostle’s Creed that vary according to what church or denomination you are referring to.  Whe will present the Lutheran version here since it substitutes the more accurate word “Christian” for the word “Catholic” commonly found in Apostle’s creed (fifth line from the bottom in the creed presented below).

Lutheran Church Version:

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 Spirit,

and 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 again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven

and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy Christian church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen
