The typical member of the churches of Christ don’t know about these creeds and those who do could not care less about them. They don’t place any importance on the creeds of men. They accept the responsibility of discerning what the Bible teaches themselves instead of relying on some man or group of men to figure it out for them.

does the typical member of the churches of Christ believe it is Biblical to be baptized by an unbaptized elder or minister?

the reason i ask is if the church was “restored” in the 19th century, that means there were no Christians on earth before then. if that was the case, who was able to baptize the first member of the “restored” church of Christ?

That's not really relevant to my question. I phrased my question the way I did knowing that those creeds would have no official force.

Is anything asserted by the Apostles', Nicene and Athanasian creeds, denied by CoC teaching?
