We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us humans and for our salvation He came down from heaven; He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried. The third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the Father, the life giving spirit. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy universal and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.

For such individuals are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive... They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.... They say to the seers, "Stop seeing visions!" and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions... (Romans 16:18; Psalm 12:2; Isaiah 30:10)
