The Apostle’s Creed has 12 articles
At first, the Church consisted only of the apostles and the disciples of Jesus, who heard
His teachings. After Jesus suffered, died and resurrected, and before He went up to
heaven, Jesus commanded the apostles to preach the Good News to all the nations and to
baptize the believers.  After the Pentecost, the preaching of the disciples increased the
number of followers greatly and needed a way to teach them the Way of Jesus. 
Therefore, the disciples gathered the core teachings of the Apostles into the Apostles’
Creed.
But after three/four hundred years later, many thought of something else that the
Apostle's Creed cannot answer them clearly.  It is too condense and so many need a clear
explanation.
“Who is Jesus?” is the question.
The answer is that Jesus is fully God 
  and fully human
If Jesus is only fully God, his death is fake 
       ---> We are NOT saved 
If Jesus is only fully human, His death has no value
---> we are not saved
Councils were convened to address the problem.
Yr 325 @city Nicea, they made the Nicene creed
(the First council is the Council of Jerusalem in the year 50 AD (= Anno Domini); and the
last council is the Council Vatican II in year 1962, October 11)

Having Faith= believing 

If you have faith in God, anything you do or offer to God will be pleasing to Him.
Because if you really believe in God, you would love Him very much and you will give God all
of the best of you. Just like Abel, he offered sacrifice to God and God is pleased to
accept it. But also pay attention that you must offer God the BEST. God will not take any
less than the BEST.
Like Enoch, he did not die, he just walked with God to heaven.

Result of Faith:

Love Heaven
Hope Obedience
Joy Blessings
Happiness Graces
Pleasing to God Wisdom
Eternal life
