This belief was expressed by the bishops in the Creed of Nicaea, which would form the basis of what has since been known as the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed.<ref>{{harvnb|González|1984|p=165}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
