Description
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
The Nicene Creed is an ancient statement of faith held in common amongst Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and many Protestant Churches. I use it here as a template for my personal statement of my living faith, and to show how the Wheel adorns these fundamental Christian Doctrines with simplicity, beauty, and grace.
For the sake of clarity, I have made two small alterations to the traditional statement. I have removed the word "catholic" from the description of the "one holy and apostolic church" since this is easily confused as a reference to the Roman Catholic Church, and because I can find no similiar description of the church in Scripture. Also, I have clarified the statement of the incarnation to distinguish clearly between the Holy Spirit and Mary since this caused concern with some of my fundamentalist friends. Please write with any thoughts concerning this statement of faith - if there is anything that falls short of the true expression of "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 1.3)
