The Lord’s Church established on the day of Pentecost. One head of the Church, Jesus Christ. One Father, God himself. One Spirit, the Spirit of God himself. We have NO creeds, only God’s word. We have no rulers like popes or cardinals, only overseers or elders.

We believe in one Lord, on faith, one baptism, one head of the Church, one God, NO man written creeds only the inspired word of God.

Its the Church you find in the scriptures, the one that Christ died for, the one that is built upon Him and His teachings. Its the one the apostles help build upon the foundation of Christ. Christ is its Chief corner stone and its head.

Everyone who hears God word, believes God’s word, repents of sins, confesses the name of Christ and is baptized for the remission of sins is saved and added to his Church. Just as was done on the day of pentecost when it was established.

Just as the first century Church called themselves Christias, so do we. I am a Christian that is a memeber of the Lord’s Church. We are simply called Christians just as those in the New Testament.

I follow Christ and His teachings so I proudly wear His name.

Who do you follow and serve and who is the head of ur Church? How many heads does ur church have? How many man written creeds does ur church have? Do you follow only God’s word and what it teaches or do you rely upon the creeds and words of men?

The Lord's Church is the Apostolic Church. the beliefs are encapsulated in the Nicene Creed.

you say We believe in one Lord, on faith, one baptism, one head of the Church, one God, -- question, do you believe that the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God -- all God, yet there is only One God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is both God and man, both natures irrevocably intertwined in the one who is the bridge between man and God?

If yes, I have no quarrel with you, we will debate but not argue

The head of the Catholic Church is Jesus Christ, our High Priest who is present at every mass in the form of the Eucharist Malachi 1:11, "For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts."

We are a community of priests at every mass, led by the High priest, with his ministerial priests playing their role as do the lay priests.

The Creed is not man-made, but an encapsulation of beliefs.

Remember that the Word of God is Jesus Christ. The Bible is the written word, not the entire Word of God (which is Christ) and like all man-written thigns is open to interpretation, hence the varied interpretations around
