He descended into hell. 5. The third day he rose from he dead; 6. he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 7. from Thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead

9 AC-Traditional Form (3) 8. I believe in the Holy Ghost; 9. the Holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; 10. the forgiveness of sins; 11. the resurrection of the body; 12. And the life everlasting.

10 I believe Not I figured it out I worked it out But God revealed himself I receive the revelation by faith

11 I believe Faith is: A gift of God Undeserved grace Unreserved gift A personal decision Freedom from false gods and sin Trust and obey the only true God A public confession Deeper knowledge of truth Exclusive loyalty and worship

12 I believe in God God is a spirit God is transcendent God is exalted and deserves exclusive worship God is great God is good God is true God is faithful God loves God is sovereign

13 I believe in God the Father God is Triune, not Unitarian God is one in essence, not one person God is three persons, not three Gods God is not one personal being with three ways of exhibiting himself (Sabellianism) God is not one eternal person (the Father) who added in other persons (e.g. the Son) (Arianism)

14 I believe in God the Father

15 I believe in God the Father God is one eternal family Father, Son, Holy Spirit God decided to spread the Trinitarian love to creations God designed a household, where God is the master Humans are children Angels are servants Children become Sons by uniting with the eternal Son, who became Jesus Christ

16 I believe in God the Father God is fatherly to all creations, esp. to mankind, esp. to the believers of Jesus Christ (the Church) God gives life: existence and reason of being God provides God protects God leads God loves

17 I believe in God the Father God s honor is in all of his creations We need to respect all creations: Preservation Utilization We need to respect all human beings Respect life Basic human rights We need to respect all believers Love bro./sis. in Christ Debate for truth, no argument on persons

18 I believe in God the Father God is totally and eternally good Evil was not created by God Evil is the result of free will being misused God created free will to make love possible God gave free will to men and angels Men are children, and angels are servants Lucifer first misused free will by jealousy Men misused free will by mistrust Evil brings sufferings Evil is being used by God for good Evil will be punished and eliminated at the end

19 I believe in God Almighty God the father = God is good Trust Open Love God almighty = God is great Trust Fear Obey

20 Maker of Heaven and Earth One need of modification: Maker => Creator Make: from something to something else Create: from nothing to something

21 Maker of Heaven and Earth Another need of modification: Heave => Heavens: God is not in heaven; heaven is in God 1 st heaven: atmosphere around the earth 2 nd heaven: starry space 3 rd heaven: supernatural heaven beyond space-time

22 Maker of Heaven and Earth Another need of modification: Earth => the Earth Earth: exclusive place for human lives God sent his Son to die for the sins of mankind Jesus did not die for aliens

23 Creator of t/ Heavens & t/ Earth God is the father and king because he is the creator We should be humble, obedience and worshipping because we are creaturely. There are Infinite truths to learn Highest heaven to enter Recreated earth to dwell forever

24 Apostles Creed (Modern, pt 1) I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heavens and the Earth.
