allegiance to Him alone
1 Cor. 15:3-7:
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ
died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that
he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he
appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five
hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have
fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Creed – I confess
the Resurrection.
Phil. 2:6-11:
who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing
to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in
the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and
became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly
exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the
earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.

ordained Jesus to be God in-“fleshed” and he did all that God commanded him to
do and he Jesus now sits on the throne of Heaven as the sovereign King of
Heaven and Earth and everything, which brings glory to God the Father

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in
the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the
nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.
Creed – I believe
in the incarnation of God in the form of Jesus Christ and his work and in his
ascension.
Hebr. 6:1-2:
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity,
not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward
God, with instruction about ablutions, the laying on of hands, the resurrection
of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Creed – I believe
in Salvation by Grace alone through faith alone not done at all by works, and I
believe in the eschatology the coming judgment of all, both the living and the
dead.
1John 4:2: By
this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ
has come in the flesh is of God.
