I agree wholeheartedly with the Apostles’ Creed.  If you have never read it, I have typed it below.  It is a good and timeless resume of the Christian faith.

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried:  He descended into hell:
5. The third day he rose again from the dead:
6. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:
9. I believe in the holy catholic church:  the communion of the saints:
10. The forgiveness of sins:
11. The resurrection of the body:
12. And the life everlasting.  Amen
