I have read the creeds and I am convinced that the main author was antichrist. When the Protestants broke off the Catholic Church, they should have just started over. The way they did it just make them offshoots of the RCC. As it is they are daughters of the Great Whore and are harlots themselves (Rev. 17:5).

There are many Christians who identify as "non-denominational" and will state as pertains to creed, they hold no creed but Christ.
What does “no creed but Christ” mean?
The word
credo means
I believe. Leaders in the effort to restore New Testament Christianity used “no creed but Christ” to indicate their commitment to follow only the teaching of Christ. That includes following Christ’s attitude toward authority. He condemned traditionalism (
Mt. 15:9), and considered the writings of Moses as “the word of God” (
Mk. 7:10-13). He lived under the Law (
Gal. 4:4), and taught people under it to obey Moses (
Lk. 10:25-28). He never told anyone “do what you
feel Moses would do.” When asked about divorce, He quoted a statement, used the example of Adam and Eve and drew the conclusion “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate” (
Mt. 19:3-6;
Gen. 2:24). Those who believe Christ, give Bible authority (a precept, example or necessary inference) for everything they do in religion.
EARLY CHRISTIANITY
"Christianity is a creedal religion. You cannot separate Christianity from its ancient creeds. In fact, every true Christian adheres to the ancient creeds of the church, whether he knows it or not . . . . Creeds are concise doctrinal summaries of the doctrines of Scripture, and are subordinate to Scripture as our only infallible rule for faith and life . . . . If we are true Christians who have put our trust in the Christ of the Bible, it is impossible for us not to affirm the church's ancient creedal statements on the Bible's teaching. What's more, we are living in a day when we must not only affirm them but defend them against the onslaught of heretical teachings about the person and work of Jesus Christ."

"In one of the quirks of church history, the "Nicene Creed" used in church hymnals and liturgies is a different creed from the one accepted at Nicaea. In 381, the Council of Constantinople affirmed the Nicene Creed and condemned heresies that had since arisen against Nicaea. But from later records (preserved at the Council of Chalcedon, 70 years later) we know that another creed was also used, now known as the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. This creed is more strictly Trinitarian than the Nicene, describing each member of the Trinity in relation to the other members. The creed of 325 says less about the Father and only mentions the Holy Spirit with no description at all, since the council's attention was fixed on how the Son is no less divine than the Father."

ORIGINAL NICENE CREED (AD 325)
We believe in one God, the Father, almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, begotten from the Father, only-begotten, that is, from the substance of th Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one substance from the Father, through Whom all things came into being, things in heaven and things on earth, who because of us men and because of our salvation came down and became incarnate, becoming man, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended to the heavens, will come to judge the living and the dead.
And in the Holy Spirit.
But as for those who say, there was when he was not, and, before being born he was not, and he came into existence out of nothing, or who assert that the son of God is a different hypostasis or substance, or is subject to change or alteration--these the Catholic* and Apostolic Church anathematizes.
