We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, creator of all things seen and unseen.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, and born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, light from light, true God from true God.
Begotten not made, of one being with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven.
And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary and was made man; He was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried; and on the third day rose again according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and His Kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who spoke through the Prophets. And one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
We confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen."

The Lord’s own do not accept any creed.
Creeds are the errors and deceptions of men. They mix a little truth with an ugly lie every time.
The Nicean creed contains the obvious lie: “We confess (I confess) one baptism for the remission of sins.”
Baptism does not give remission of sin. Baptism is an obedient affirmation of the saving blood of Christ by the believer. One must already be saved, or the ‘baptism’ is without meaning.
