THE CREED.  I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator 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 ages; light of light, true God of true God, begotten not made, one in being with the Father, through Whom all things were made.  Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man.  He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried.  The third day He rose according to the Scriptures, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father, and He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom shall have no end.  And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, and spoke through the prophets.  And in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.  I confess one Baptism for the remission of sins, and I await the resurrection of the dead, and the life in the world to come.  Amen.

There are 7 Sacraments -Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Confession, Holy Orders, Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick- in the Orthodox and Catholic Churches, but fewer in the Protestant Churches. This variation dominates the divisive differences among the Christian Churches which ecumenism attempts to reconcile. ⁷ God is an all-knowing, just, good and merciful judge Who rewards good with eternal life, and condemns evil with eternal punishment unless a person repents, is sorry, for his/her sins.  † See also: www.bible.com John 1, 3:16, 6:51, 17:20, 20:21; Luke 6:17-31, 22:19; James 2:14; Isaiah 1:16-17; 1 Corinthians 13; Proverbs 24:16; Jonah 3, 4; Ephesians 4:4; Matthew 6, 7, 16:18, 19:16, 25:31, 28:19; Dictionary of the Bible, The Interpreter’s One-Volume Commentary on the Bible, creationscience.com gospelcomics.com creeds.net The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, ccc-cce.ca ncccusa.org usccb.org ctbi.org.ukncca.org.au wcc-coe.org mospat.ru vatican.va consult a chaplain/minister/priest or visit a church – over 100,000 Christian -Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant- churches in Canada, the U.S., U.K. and Australia, where services are held every Sunday.
