This creed was not written by the apostles, but is so named because it summarizes their teachings. The exact date of it's composition is not known, but it has been used in the Church since the first centuries. There are different versions of it's text currently in use. Here is the most frequently used:

"I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And 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, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick 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 the life everlasting. Amen."

The Bible Warns We Will See Churches Corrupted
and Church Leaders No Longer Teaching Sound Doctrine


The Bible clearly warns some churches will be corrupted from within

"Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you
concerning our common salvation,
I found it necessary [compelled] to write to you
exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith
which was once for all delivered to the saints.
For certain men have crept in unnoticed, [church leaders]
who long ago were marked out for this condemnation,
ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness....
[who corrupt, ignore, modify, deny, or refuse to teach God’s word in the Bible]
But I want to remind you, though you once knew this,
that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed those who did not believe."
(Jude 1:3-6)

"Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl
on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up,
so that the way of the kings from the East
might be prepared.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
coming out of the mouth of the dragon, [Satan]
out of the mouth of the beast [the Antichrist],
and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [the second Beast]
For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,
which go out to the kings of the Earth and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle of that great Day of God Almighty ...
And they gathered them together
to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon."
(Rev 16:12-16)

Father, use us and use us up.
Spirit make us Holy, no matter what it takes.
In Jesus name. AMEN.

Rapture versus “translation.”
I personally don’t like the word “rapture,” because it is not in the Bible. The word describes the way that the people will feel who are caught up to be with Jesus - rapturous. I prefer the word “translation.” (Hebrews 11:5). “Enoch was translated without seeing death.” He was a “type” or representative of those living people who will be caught up to the clouds when Jesus returns. Moses is a type of those who have died and will be raised to life by Jesus when he returns.
GOD’S SERVANTS WILL BE SPARED THE “WRATH” TO COME
I THESSALONIANS 1:10 “... wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.”
I THESSALONIANS 5:9 “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I THESSALONIANS 1:10 “... wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.”
The fire did not fall on Sodom and Gomorrah until the angels had rescued Lot. The rain did not fall until Noah and his family were safe in the ark. The destroying angel did not pass through Egypt until God’s children were safe behind the doors painted with the blood of the Lamb. The stubble of last year’s fields is not burned until the harvest has been safely gathered in. God cannot completely withdraw His spirit from this world, so long as His servants are here. He cannot then pour out His final wrath, which results from the withdrawing of His spirit, until those servants are safe in the “Father’s house.” The Church is to expect trial, but not the “wrath of God.”
The teaching of a secret pretribulation rapture is a doctrine that never existed before 1830. Did the pretribulation rapture come into existence by a careful exegesis of Scripture? No. The first person to teach the doctrine was a young woman named Margaret Macdonald. Margaret was not a theologian or Bible expositor but was a prophetess in the Irvingite sect (the Catholic Apostolic Church).
