Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?" They responded by defining a Christian as one who believes in the Apostles Creed, the Holy Trinity, in God, the Divinity of Christ, and who subscribes to a confession of faith. Notice ... In the decades following the death of John, the last living apostle, the early Church faced a difficult problem. False doctrines such as Gnosticism and Monticism plagued the body of Christ. Some even denied the deity of Jesus. To cope with the situation a simple confession of faith was devised to distinguish the Orthodox Christian from the heretic. It was sometimes called the rule of faith. And many years later, after alterations, it was known as the Apostles Creed, although it was not ... Some may wonder how anyone could legitimately object to it as a confession of the church.

What Is Satan Really Like? As surely as God's truth is the power by which one may be free from sin (John 8:32), and as surely as "he that committeth sin is of the devil" (I John 3:8), then to keep men in the sinning business is Satan's aim. To do it he perverts, withstands, distorts, corrupts, and misrepresents the truth of God. Men who so handle God's Word are Satan's agents (II Corinthians 11:3). Although Satan is alive and active, HE DOES NOT HOLD IRRESISTABLE RULE OVER MEN. The devil is strong, but only God is omnipotent. God's people can resist the devil (James 4:7). They have the power of faith to stand against the enemy. The gospel of Christ, God's very power to save, shackles Satan.
