Prayer of Faith - Ye'Haimanot Tselote
--------------------------------------------------

We believe in one God, in the Lord the Father, who holds the whole world, omnipotent, who created everything visible and invisible in heaven and in earth (Gen. 1, 20; Neh. 9. Rom. 1.20).

We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, the one Son of the Father, who was with Him before the Creation of the world. Light begotten of Light, True God begotten of True God, not Created. He is equal with the Father. There is nothing in heaven and earth which exists without Him. Mt. 3,17, Jn. 1.1,4. For us and for the salvation of men He came down from heaven; by the operation of the Holy Spirit He put on flesh of the holy Virgin Mary and became man. In the time of Pontius Pilate He was crucified for us, suffered and died and was buried, and on the third day He was separated from the dead and rose, and with glory He ascended to heaven and sat on the right hand of His Father, and He shall come again in honour and glory that He may judge the living and the dead, and there is no finish, no end of His Kingdom. Mat. 1: 20,21; I Pet. 3.16; Phil. 2. 6,8: Rom. 5. 8; Cor. 15. 3,4; I Pet. 3. 19,20.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord who saves, He who proceeds from the Father, together with the Father and the Son we Worship Him, we honor Him, we glorify Him. Jn. 5. 3,4; Jn. 15. 26.

And we believe in one Holy church, which is over all, the assembly and congregation of the Apostles, Eph. 2. 19, 20, 22.

And we believe in one Baptism, that it was given for the forgiveness of sin. Eph. 4. 3,6; Ps. 32. 1,2; Eph. 1. 6.

And believing in the resurrection of the dead, we hope for everlasting life to come. Jn. 5. 28,29: 1 Cor. 15. 22, 24; Jn. 10. 27, 28

Amen
