Along with the canonical scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, Lutherans accept the three ancient, ecumenical creeds: The Nicene, Apostles and Athanasian Creeds. They also formally accept the Lutheran Symbolical Books as true expositions of Scripture. The Deutorocanonical books of The Bible are considered good for study and edification, but do not necessarily hold the same doctrinal authority as the other books.

How do you write a personal creed for a Lutheran confirmation?

Writing a "personal creed" is actually against what Luther taught. If your pastor or church is making you write a "personal creed" then you should simply write out the Apostle's or Nicene Creed. Tell them that this is your "personal creed" and it is also the creed of the entire church. Tell them that Christians are not supposed to confess their own personal versions of the faith, Christians are supposed to confess "the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). We do this individually and together in the creed. - A Lutheran Pastor in Southern California
