THE NEW
COVENANT CREED

The Apostles' Creed
The New Covenant Church of God has only one formal Creed, the Apostles' Creed which is common to all Christendom. The core teaching of NCCG is that Christianity is a faith based on a relationship with God as a Person. That faith involves a personal committment to Yah'shua haMashiach (Jesus Christ). New Covenant Christianity begins with God's initiative -- He steps in to make men and women right with Himself. New Covenant Christians believe that as perfect God and perfect man, Yah'shua haMashiach (Jesus Christ) is the link that brings God and people together (1 Tim.3:16; Phil.2:5-11; Jn.14:6). This core doctrine is amplified further in the Apostles' Creed which also forms a part of the New Covenant Liturgy which states:
- 1. We believe in Yahweh-God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth[1].
- 2. We believe in Yah'shua haMashiach (Jesus Christ), His Only Begotten Son, our Lord[2].
- 3. He was conceived by the power of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) and born of the Virgin Mary[3].
- 4. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried[4].
- 5. He descended to the dead[5].
- 6. On the third day He rose again[6].
- 7. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty[7].
- 8. He will come again to judge the living and the dead[8].
- 9. We believe in the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit)[9],
- 10. the universal Body of Christ[10],
- 11. the communion of saints[11],
- 12. the forgiveness of sins[12],
- 13. the resurrection of the body[13],
- 14. and the life everlasting[14]. Amen.
