I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of 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 arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

There are three persons in the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. Amen.

I believe in the authenticity and authority of the Bible. I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God as originally given by God to those authors who wrote those words down in its original language. I believe that God created the earth and moon and stars miraculously. I believe in the six day creation, 6 x 24 hour days. I believe in the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus was the Word of God in the very beginning and that Word became Flesh and dwell among us: Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I believe in the sovereignty of God and through that sovereignty God has granted human kind free will. This is one of the mysteries of God. I believe that God is in control of the world we live in and he will return in the second coming to judge the world.

These lines represent two different creeds long established by the church. I can't say what I believe in any better than how they have worded it.
