Faith Q&A › My Faith

Can it be said that the Creed is the synopsis of Christianity?

The answer

Yes, because, as was previously mentioned, it contains in concise form all of the articles of our Holy Faith, summarised in the following:

  • a. The Divinity of God the Father: Pantocrator, Creator of all things.
  • b. The Divinity of God the Son: Only Begotten, begotten of the Father, by Whom all things were made.
  • c. The Divinity of the Holy Spirit: the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father.
  • d. The Attributes of the Church: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.
  • e. The Mystery of Holy Baptism for the new birth.
  • f. The Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Dead.
  • g. The Doctrine of the Other Life and the Coming Age.
