It is important for a community to have a common statement of belief.

The English word creed comes from the Latin credere, “to believe,” so it is important to have this to have a common baseline of beliefs.

The creeds are not comprehensive, nor meant to be, but they are to ensure that all members have a common baseline. Note that the Nicene creed was the result of centuries of discussions from the Apostles to the 3rd century.

” Note that the Nicene creed was the result of centuries of discussions from the Apostles to the 3rd century.”

I don’t base my faith on “centuries of discussions”. Anyone who does is a cult member.

If a creed says that remission of sin is via baptism, then they don’t believe the Scripture which clearly states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Baptism never is tied to remission of sin.

Now I’m going volare.
