The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Apostles' Creed and the Solas

The Apostles' Creed arose out of the early Western church and should be thought of as a summary of the Apostles' teaching rather than directly attributable to them. Originally it was essentially a baptismal confession and had several variations. The form in use today dates from the eighth century.

The Creed was never written as a statement concerning the subject of "grace" nor even salvation specifically. Remember, the vast majority of creeds and confessions were written to address a certain issue or to meet a pressing need.

As far as what the original writers or later revisionists of the Apostles' Creed would affirm in regard to the Five Solas, you would have to ask them.
