As Apollonius faced the penalty of death, one might suppose that the confession he would make would be an explicit confession in the hope of the resurrection from the dead. One might assume that a confession of the second article, something like I believe in Jesus the Christ who was raised from dead, would be more appropriately relevant to the context of persecution and martyrdom. However, the confession of Apollonius was that of the first article of the creed; it was a confession that the true God is the creator of all things.
Bump for a truly glorious post, Fester. BBL
