Read it for yourself:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come 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 life everlasting. Amen.
The reference to the catholic church is not the Roman Catholic Church but, rather, the body of believers in Jesus Christ as a whole. No where in scripture does it teach that there is one denomination only that there is one body of believers under the headship of Jesus Christ. As for Mary, there is no place in scripture where we are instructed or admonished to pray to Mary (or any other person living or dead) as Jesus said "I am the way, the Truth and the life and no man comes before the Father except through me" John 14:6. Praying to saints, angels or anything other than through Jesus Christ is strictly forbidden by scripture and is a practice of pagan idolatry.

When do you say the Apostles Creed during Mass?
you say it after the magnificant and before the anthem.
Do wesleyan Methodists say the Creed?
Yes. As a christian denomination, they adhere to the same creeds as the rest of the Christian Church. These include the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed that focusses on the belief in a Trinitarian God.
Is the Apostles' Creed only for Catholics?
No, a lot of other religions say it too
Which prayer do we say at a Catholic mass that proclaims the faith of our church?
The Prayer recited at Mass that is a summary of our beliefs is the Nicene Creed:http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/
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.
What did god say to Mary in the New Testament?
Here it was the angel Gabriel who spoke to Mary, and not God.
What type of prayer is apostles creed?
It is a profession of faith. It gives some of the key components of the faith of those that say it.It is not a prayer, it is a statement of an agreed to orthodox dogma at the common core of the Christian Religion (regardless of sect). When you say it, it reminds you of those core dogma. It is not addressed to God as a prayer is, but to yourself and the other members of the church. It is more like an oath that you agree with and will be held to all aspects of that common dogma.
What are the truth we say we believe when we say the apostles creed?
The Apostle's Creed specifically states that one believes in God, Jesus the Christ, the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, and the communion of saints. Caution: catholic with a lower-case 'c' means "all-encompassing", while Catholic with a capital 'C' refers to a specific denomination, like Roman Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, and so forth.
What is the Trinity in the Apostles Creed?
The Trinity is God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit: One God--3 parts. The Apostles Creed is used for liturgical and catechetical purposes. There are different versions for different denominations. The short answer is the Apostles' Creed was created for rites of baptism and profession of faith during confirmation. Legend has it that each of the 12 Apostles dictated it. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Why at Church when they say the Apostles Creed do they leave out the line that he descended into hell?
At church we recite the NICENE creed which does not contain this reference. However, when we do recite the APOSTLES creed the current translation is he "descended to the dead". This is intended to note that Jesus came to save all with his victory over death, and in particular to those who died before his victory. In the revised Roman missal in Advent of 2011, this will be changed back to "he descended into hell".
Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?
When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles. In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.
