Orthodox Christians believe in ...
one God, Father Almighty
Maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible
one Lord Jesus Christ
the only-begotten Son of God
begotten of the Father before all ages
Light from Light; true God from true God; begotten, not made;
of one essence with the Father
through whom all things were made
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
Who was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man
Who was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried
Who rose on the third day according to the Scriptures
Who ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father
Who is coming again with glory to judge the living and the dead
His Kingdom shall have no end
the Holy Spirit
the Lord
the Giver of Life
Who proceeds from the Father
Who with the Father and the Son is equally worshipped and glorified
Who spoke by the prophets
one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church
one baptism for the remission of sins
the Resurrection of the Dead
the life of the Age to come
The Symbol of Faith
I believe in one God, Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; begotten of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten, not made, of One Essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made: Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from Heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became Man: And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried: And He rose on the third day according to the Scriptures: And ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father: And He is coming again with glory to judge the living and the dead; And His Kingdom will have no end: And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of the Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son is equally worshipped and glorified, Who spoke by the Prophets: And in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the Resurrection of the Dead; And the life of the Age to come. Amen.
