LOL. You mean do Calvinists believe in the Apostles' Creed? Yes, we do.
From the Westminster Confession of Faith...
I. All saints, that are united to Jesus Christ their Head by his Spirit and by faith, have fellowship with him in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory; and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other's gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.
(Romans 1:11-14; 6:5, 6; 8:17; 1 Corinthians 3:21-23; 12:7, 12; Galatians 6:10; Ephesians 2:5, 6; 3:16-18; 4:15, 16; Philippians 3:10; Colossians 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; 2 Timothy 2:12; 1 John 1:3; 3:16-18.)
II. Saints by profession are bound to maintain a holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God, and in performing such other spiritual services as tend to their mutual edification; as also in relieving each other in outward things, according to their several abilities and necessities. Which communion, as God offereth opportunity, is to be extended unto all those who, in every place, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.
(Isaiah 2:3; Acts 2:42-46; 11:29, 30; 1 Corinthians 11:20; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Hebrews 10:24, 25; 1 John 3:17)
III. This communion which the saints have with Christ, doth not make them in any wise partakers of the substance of his Godhead; or to be equal with Christ in any respect, either of which to affirm is impious and blasphemous. Nor doth their communion one with another, as saints, take away, or infringe the title or propriety which each man hath in his goods and possessions.
(Psalm 45:6, 7; John 1:14; 20:17; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Colossians 1:18, 19; Hebrews 1:6-9; Exodus 20:15; Acts 5:4; Ephesians 4:28)
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." -- 2 Timothy 4:3-4"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun." -- Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
As a matter of fact, I would hope a "communion of saints" is occurring right now on this thread as you and I speak. 8~)
Unless I'm misreading, that Communion of Saints doesn't apply to the Saints in Heaven, yes?
I can't make this fit with Jesus's teaching; there's no salvation, no rejoicing of those in Heaven... no memory of them?
It seems to say the dead vanish entirely and completely. Is this solely an OT teaching? What am I missing here?
