I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The question was how many Doctrines are found in the Apostles creed?
The answer to that question is one, mans doctrine as our Father nor Christ penned the Apostles creed. Its a creed penned completely by men at the council of Nicaea.
Focus instead on what is written in that biblical text and not the creeds of men. Chanting creeds will not get you to the understanding point needed in order to understand our Fathers word. If you read and study our Fathers word then he is fully aware that you attest to and believe in him and Christ and there is no need of such nonsense as this Apostles creed.
I used to be Episcopalian and I use to chant this same nonsense on Sunday morning. But I was missing something, I felt that something huge was being left out, something very important. Then, I started learning biblical text from a good bible teacher and my faith grew unmeasurably greater than it was when I was simply changing on Sundays. I discovered the rich heritage of our people and the purpose of our Fathers plan. Things changed as did my opinions and view of this earth age. Now I can't attend those Sunday chant services any longer, its no wonder people sleep there.
The apostles creed is a chanted testament to Christianity from the days gone by when belief in Christianity was forced upon men. People could not serve among the many Christian kingdoms of the middle ages if one did not attest one's faith and allegiance to Christ via some creed or open forced testament. Christ taught us to test the fruit of the tree. Simply attesting some creed out loud or chanting it to music does not mean you believe in what it states. Ones works are the testament to their faith in Christ not ones chanting of a creed.
The beauty of being Christian is that it can not be forced upon anyone, everyone is free to choose. That freedom of choice is the very purpose of being human in this specific earth age. It is what this earth age was designed specifically for. Each of us has the free will to choose in these United States. Forcing alignment to Christianity with a creed is wrong. Each of us must be free to choose of our own free will and that freedom must always remain. That light of freedom is being extinguish from every quarter of the world and replaced by mans forced doctrines such as the doctrine of Mohammed or the largest forced doctrine in the entire world, the doctrine of Greek (specifically the Stoic) philos-sophos. This is the doctrine the Apostle Paul warned of in Colossians chapter 2. The believers in Stoic philos-sophos doctrine, who are commonly referred to as Marxists or communists or socialists or progressives, took the word of our Father and spun it into a lie, using their doctrine (Stoic philos-sophos), just as Paul warned they would, that abomination is referred to as Liberation Theology.
In summary, the answer to the question is this: There is but one doctrine in the Apostles Creed, its the doctrine of men. Men who were attempting to do something they thought was good and honorable but something that is not of Christ or our Father. Men don't need creeds and chants we need good bible teachers who will teach the children of our Father his word straight up, without the influence of mens doctrines. We need teachers of the house of Israel who can teach all of our Fathers children the truth which resides in his word. The creeds of men are of little importance and can serve to drive people away from our Father.

How many creeds are in the Lutheran Church?
three, The Apostles Creed, The Nicene Creed, and The Athanasian Creed.
Use creed in a sentence?
Many doctrines have turned into Creeds. Creeds have different rituals than traditional religion.
Who wrote the Apostles' Creed?
Exactly who wrote the creed is unknown. Many believe it was written by the 12 apostles themselves, but this is probably not true. The original creed developed from simpler texts and was perhaps merged with some phrases from the Bible itself. It underwent many alterations and versions by various authors before today's was settled on. The earliest copy of the modern creed is from between 710 and 714 BCE, in France (during Charlemagne's rule) and it is held that this version dates from around the latter 5th century, but no earlier.
Why was the apostles creed made?
The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. It is the ancient baptismal symbol [creed to be recited before baptism] of the Church of Rome. It's great authority arises from this fact: it is "the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter, the first of the apostles, to whom he brought the common faith." (St. Ambrose, Expl. symb.J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 17, 1196 ) Catechism of the Catholic Church # 194The word "creed" comes from the Latin word credo,meaning "I believe." It was called "Apostles" not because the apostles themselves wrote it (although some people may have thought this), but because the Creed was believed to be an accurate summary of what the apostles taught.The Creed was useful in several ways:The Creed was a public statement of faith, a standardized way in which new people could confess their faith in Jesus Christ.The Creed anchored Christian faith to a tradition, to make it difficult for people or churches to be led astray by strange doctrines.The Creed was a preaching and teaching tool, giving an outline for further discipleship.The Creed was memorized through frequent repetition, which helped the many believers who could not read.The Creed provided a doctrinal basis for different churches to accept one another, and to reject those who did not accept the basic truths.The Bible itself contains brief creed-like statements (1 Cor. 8:6; 15:3-4; 1 Tim. 3:16).
An example of creed in the bible?
One example of a creed in the Bible is the Nicene Creed, which is a statement of faith that outlines key Christian beliefs such as the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the importance of the Church. It is based on the teachings of the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and has been widely accepted by many Christian denominations as a foundational statement of faith.
How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?
They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
Why don't the churches use the creed?
But they do. In most Catholic masses, and certainly in the Anglican Eucharist service (or 'Holy Communion - the Anglican equivalent of the Catholic mass) the Creed is said at each service. usually this is the creed set down by the Council of Nicaea (the 'Nicene Creed') but sometimes the Apostles' Creed is used instead. In most other denominations, the two Creeds above are not often used, but a brief statement of faith is used instead. As for the Athanasian Creed, I cannot be sure what Catholics do here, but in many Anglican Churches, as this creed is primarily to do with the doctrine of the Trinity, it is often recited on Trinity Sunday.
How can you find more information about Nicene Creed?
Nicene Creed is profession of faith. Information on it can be found on many websites. Among them are Wikipedia, Spurgeon, Bible Getaway, New Advent, and Christianity Site.
