Paul McCain from CPH has posted the Apostles' Creed with proof texts from an unremembered 17th-century source, demonstrating its biblical basis. I assumed someone had done this at one time. Here it is:
I believe (Hab. 2:4; Rom. 4:5)If you have an issue using Wisdom of Solomon as a proof, remember that the Church into the Reformation recognized that the Apocrypha was not scripture but good material worthy to be studied.
