The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth. 

I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only* Son, our Lord;  
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary;
suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell;
the third day he rose again
from the dead;  
He ascended into heaven;  
and is seated at the right hand   
of God the Father Almighty;  
from there He will come to judge
the living and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit;  
the holy [Christian]** Church;   
the communion of saints;  
the forgiveness of sins;  
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting. 

Amen
