Introduction
Our “symbol of faith and confession” is what defines the borders of our unity and brothers’ relationships. With God’s grace we stand with all saints in “the cloud of witnesses” in order to testify the fundamental truths of Christian Faith. To all who confess and believe the historic Christian faith we stretch our hand of understanding and we call them brother or sister in the Lord Jesus Christ. To all who do not confess this faith we declare that they do not have relationship with God Almighty. His condemnation is on them and if they do not repent and confess their sin they will be cursed.
The present decree helps us to fulfill our duties in God’s Kingdom because we seek to be “doers of the Word”.
We pray the present decree to please our Supreme Lord and King, to bless and help our preaching and instruction, so the saints to become stronger for glory and honor of God Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
