in heaven. Hence, there is a unity and diversity properly acknowledged in the first word of the creed. All those who would follow after Christ must join with others who also believe what Christ requires us to believe. There is one God who is gathering unto Himself a people, the church. This one God is gathering His people together in the truth that He has given to His people collectively or corporately. As such the creed establishes that Christianity is most definitely not an individualistic religion.
