Where do you find the Apostles Creed in the Bible? 2012-05-30T13:09:00-04:00 Billy Kangas

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

The Apostles Creed has been a part of the church in the West for a very long time. It is used in baptisms, prayers, and basic catechesis. However there are some people who argue that the creeds are not found in the Bible, and so they are simply traditions of men that should be condemned. I think that argument is a little silly, but I’m not going to get into all that right now (perhaps I will post something on it soon though).

Today I want to highlight a list of Scriptural references that point to the biblical grounding of all the articles in the Creed. I got this list from Paul McCain, so thanks Paul!
