Three Chief Symbols

The Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian creeds were developed by the whole church over the course of centuries, their content and exact wording debated and settled by church leaders to be accurate statements of the Christian faith for all time and every place. All Christians at all times have confessed these things.

Now it may be that we need to translate, refine, or further interpret our universal statements of faith. But I am at a loss as to how someone randomly situated can be self-sufficient to knock off a new creed in an afternoon. Contemporary worship or not, the creeds hold us together. Anything else is the Delusion.
