• A. Nicene Creed
• B. Apostles' Creed
• C. Blessed Creed
• D. Creed of Constantinople

Answer: (A)

This asks about the formal profession of Christian belief formed by two early church councils. The statement you’re looking for is the Nicene Creed. It was first drafted at the Council of Nicaea in 325 to settle debates about who Jesus is, affirming that the Son is of the same essence as the Father and not a created being. Later, at the Council of Constantinople in 381, it was expanded to affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit and to sharpen the understanding of the Trinity. Because of its origin in those two councils, this creed is commonly known as the Nicene Creed (often called the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed to reflect both councils). The Apostles’ Creed predates these councils and is a more general summary of apostolic teaching, not the formal council-produced statement. The phrase Creed of Constantinople isn’t the standard name for this document, though the expanded version is sometimes associated with Constantinople.
