We encourage the Messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in June 2024 to affirm the Nicene Creed. We encourage the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in June 2025 to include the Creed as an article in the Baptist Faith and Message. We are also happy to include the Apostles’ Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and the Chalcedonian Definition. Matthew Barrett, Andrew Brown, Matthew Emerso...

Why should Baptists move with urgency to confess the Nicene Creed?

The Nicene Creed provides us with immediate and trustworthy language that faithfully articulates the truth of who Jesus is, according to Andrew Brown. Which is why he is helping lead the effort to add the creed to the Baptist Faith and Message at the Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention June 9-12. Next week at the Southern Baptist Convention, Andrew Brown, Stephen Lorance, Steve Mc...

Next week at the Southern Baptist Convention, Andrew Brown, Stephen Lorance, Steve McKinion, and Malcolm Yarnell will move that the Messengers amend the BFM with the article, “The Creed.” The creed they are referring to is none other than the Nicene Creed and in this Credo essay they provide three reasons why they believe the time to do so is now.

Experiencing the Beatific Vision with the Church: Michael Allen

You've most likely been told that Thomas Aquinas is off limits, a theologian who will corrupt Protestants and turn them into Roman Catholics. And yet, Protestant history tells a different story: many of our Protestant forefathers did not merely retrieve Aquinas but thought of him as part of the same tradition they belonged to in the end. This new episode of the Credo Alliance brings together Jo...

Credo Fellows John Fesko, Fred Sanders, and Scott Swain join Matthew Barrett to discuss the Holy Spirit and the eternal spiration of the Holy Spirit. They explore the historical and theological background of the Nicene Creed, and the implications of the Holy Spirit's procession from the Father and the Son. Additi...
