You can do whatever you wish as far as creeds of course. The great majority of Christians use them to differentiate their beliefs from others.

The original creeds were to define the Christian faith regarding who Christ is and the Most Holy Trinity - as differentiated from the various heresies. Some of these beliefs concerning Christ and the Trinity crop up again, even today. Those who hold them have problems with the creed; those that don’t, don’t.

I realize that you probably desperately want that to be tied together and true. It’s amazing isn’t it that so many were proclaimed saved during Jesus and the Apostles times long before any of the so called “creeds” were thought of?
