About this episode
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about what the Apostles’ Creed really means when it says that we “believe in the holy catholic Church” and the “communion of saints.” Questions Covered in This Episode: What is a church? What is the church? What do we mean we call the church: holy catholic church? What is the “communion of saints?” The Apostles Creed: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Helpful Definitions: A Church: Local expression of the body of Christ. The Church: Communion of saints. All believers past, present, and future, throughout history around the globe. Universal Church: The fellowship of all Christians that extends from the day of Pentecost until the second coming, incorporating both the deceased believers who are presently in heaven and the living believers from all over the world. Local Church: Contextualized manifestations of the universal church that preach the gospel, administer ordinances, through biblical governance. Pneumatology: Doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Communion: Sharing.
