The English version in the Catechism of the Catholic Church maintains the traditional division of the Creed into twelve articles, presenting it as follows:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again 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 the life everlasting. Amen.


The question was how many Doctrines are found in the Apostles creed?
The answer to that question is one, mans doctrine as our Father nor Christ penned the Apostles creed. Its a creed penned completely by men at the council of Nicaea.

Focus instead on what is written in that biblical text and not the creeds of men. Chanting creeds will not get you to the understanding point needed in order to understand our Fathers word. If you read and study our Fathers word then he is fully aware that you attest to and believe in him and Christ and there is no need of such nonsense as this Apostles creed.

I used to be Episcopalian and I use to chant this same nonsense on Sunday morning. But I was missing something, I felt that something huge was being left out, something very important. Then, I started learning biblical text from a good bible teacher and my faith grew unmeasurably greater than it was when I was simply changing on Sundays. I discovered the rich heritage of our people and the purpose of our Fathers plan. Things changed as did my opinions and view of this earth age. Now I can't attend those Sunday chant services any longer, its no wonder people sleep there.

The apostles creed is a chanted testament to Christianity from the days gone by when belief in Christianity was forced upon men. People could not serve among the many Christian kingdoms of the middle ages if one did not attest one's faith and allegiance to Christ via some creed or open forced testament. Christ taught us to test the fruit of the tree. Simply attesting some creed out loud or chanting it to music does not mean you believe in what it states. Ones works are the testament to their faith in Christ not ones chanting of a creed.

The beauty of being Christian is that it can not be forced upon anyone, everyone is free to choose. That freedom of choice is the very purpose of being human in this specific earth age. It is what this earth age was designed specifically for. Each of us has the free will to choose in these United States. Forcing alignment to Christianity with a creed is wrong. Each of us must be free to choose of our own free will and that freedom must always remain. That light of freedom is being extinguish from every quarter of the world and replaced by mans forced doctrines such as the doctrine of Mohammed or the largest forced doctrine in the entire world, the doctrine of Greek (specifically the Stoic) philos-sophos. This is the doctrine the Apostle Paul warned of in Colossians chapter 2. The believers in Stoic philos-sophos doctrine, who are commonly referred to as Marxists or communists or socialists or progressives, took the word of our Father and spun it into a lie, using their doctrine (Stoic philos-sophos), just as Paul warned they would, that abomination is referred to as Liberation Theology.


In summary, the answer to the question is this: There is but one doctrine in the Apostles Creed, its the doctrine of men. Men who were attempting to do something they thought was good and honorable but something that is not of Christ or our Father. Men don't need creeds and chants we need good bible teachers who will teach the children of our Father his word straight up, without the influence of mens doctrines. We need teachers of the house of Israel who can teach all of our Fathers children the truth which resides in his word. The creeds of men are of little importance and can serve to drive people away from our Father.
