"Who
for us men and for our salvation, he came down from Heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified also
for us under Pontius Pilate. . . . "
What part of that are you finding difficult to understand? (It's in general use - along with its cousin the Apostles' Creed) amongst the Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, and most other Protestant denominations. The JWs and the LDS reject it - so do some Independent Baptists.)

What you wrote says absolutely NOTHING. It does NOT say He died FOR OUR SINS. It does NOT say that His blood is the propitiation for our sins. It does NOT say that the penalty for our sins was paid IN FULL, and the reason He was raised from the dead was BECAUSE our sins were paid in FULL. And we now stand justified before God because of Christ's finished work for us.
"Who for us men and for our salvation.. says absolutely NOTHING regarding His becoming "sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Cor. 5:21.
"He was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate". ? You find the gospel of your salvation in that?
Read 2 Cor., Chapter 5, and tell me how it compares to what you posted. There is NO saving gospel in your post. No finished work of Christ.
