I just noticed that the seond half of my post 188 is missing. Sorry about that. The whole post should have read:

I also didn't say that it is the "Same" as Baptist Belief. I said more like. You seem to have problems with adjectives and adverbs.

Not really. Same can mean similar in kind, depending on your interpretation. See the second definition at dictionary.com

In any case, just to clarify, are their any statements in the Apostles Creed that are not part of present-day Baptist belief?

In the apostle's creed, I would say that most conservative Baptists would have no problems with the doctrinal statements of the Creed, though the churches themselves do not have a Creed that they point to as the "Baptist Creed". Some Baptist churches are more liberal, some are more conservative. But the Apostles Creed defines core Christian beliefs. When it gets to the catholic church part we would understand that to mean one universal church,not one Roman Catholic church. But aside from that part, I don't see anything that I as someone who has graduated from a Baptist seminary would disagree with, nor my fellow Baptists. However, I could find plenty I would probably disagree with with certain American Baptists or other liberal Baptists even within my own denomination; but, I suspect that you would find the same thing in any denomination.
