Apostles’ Creed (A.D. 650)

Ordo Dei Invictus recognizes Apostles’ Creed (A.D. 650).



I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
which was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried:
he descended into hell;
the third day he arose 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 Ghost;
the holy catholick church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.

Amen.



Continued in the state of the dead, and under the power of death till the third day.

Catholic in this sense means “Universal”, and is referring to all believers throughout all ages. This is not speaking about the Roman Catholic church as an institution. It’s also worth noting that Ancient Catholic Orthodoxy is not Roman Catholicism.
