Yes, there is much to be said about the older version. I feel that way about the older Anglican Book of Common Prayer as well... much more evocative than modern usage.

Yours (Creed) has communion of saints can you clarify the meaning of that?

I've used the Nicene, and other slight variations on the Apostles Creed as well. I will read and consider the words carefully before I will recite them though. The 'saints' are those sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Those who have/will run the race to the end, bearing good fruit. The 'mature' in the faith if you will.

Might I suggest that instead of assuming what 'Protestants/Baptists' believe, you ask. You may be surprised by the answer(s).
