Confessions are human works, always open to improvement. The CRC commits itself to revise the creeds if there is anything in them that goes beyond Scripture. The CRC has done that as well. It does not adopt creeds to add teachings that are not in the Bible, but rather to give a clear summary of what God's Word teaches. While the CRC expects its members and leaders to affirm the teachings of these creeds, it does not ask for rigid agreement with how they formulate them.
Confessions are human works, always open to improvement.
The CRC commits itself to revise the creeds if there is anything in them that goes beyond Scripture. The CRC holds three creeds in common with most other Christian churches. The Nicene Creed comes from the fourth century, when people taught that Jesus was only a creature. This creed boldly emphasizes the biblical message that Jesus is truly, fully God. The Apostles' Creed also comes from the fourth century.
