Is This Actually Biblical? | The Apostles’ Creed – Did the Apostles Really Write It… or Did We?

About this episode

This episode examines the origins and biblical alignment of the Apostles' Creed, questioning its apostolic authorship and relevance today.

Join us in this eye-opening episode as we put one of Christianity’s oldest confessions under the microscope of Scripture. The Apostles’ Creed is recited in churches worldwide, but is it truly apostolic—or a later church creation? We dive deep into: • The real historical origins (spoiler: not written by the Twelve Apostles!) • How it lines up (or doesn’t) with the Bible’s core teachings • Why the early church needed this summary amid heresies and confusion • Its primary role in baptism vs. broader uses in teaching and worship • Whether creeds still matter today in a world of relativism and doctrinal drift We also discuss infant vs. believer’s baptism perspectives, the covenantal promises to households (Acts 16:31), and how the Creed points us back to the “faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3)—while remembering Scripture alone is our ultimate authority. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Apostles’ Creed holds up biblically, this episode is for you. Listen, test everything against the Word, and contend for the faith! #ChristianPodcast #BiblePodcast #FaithPodcast #GospelTruth #BiblicalTruth #Christianity #JesusPodcast #Scripture…
