Aurorian Creed

The Aurorian Creed (Selucian: Symbolum Aurorianum) is the ecumenical creed of Hosianism that forms the common basis for the faith of the Aurorian or Western Hosian churches, including all the Patriarchal and Luthoran denominations that sprang from the Holy Apostolic Hosian Church. The creed is traditionally attributed to St. Martinus of Augusta and was formalised by the Council fathers at the Council of Auroria, becoming the doctrinal basis for the newly-founded Holy Apostolic Hosian Church.

The Creed is based on the earlier Creed of the Hosioi, which is the only ecumenical creed recognised by both Aurorian and non-Aurorian Hosians, but departs from it in several significant ways as a result of theological discussions at the Council relating to what it repudiated as the Eudemian and Ordist heresies. To the older text, it added statements of binitarian and homoiousian theology which were considered unacceptable by the two rival theologians Evdemoz and Ordius, leading to schisms.

Text
"We believe in one God, Almighty Father to Us All, Who created Terra and Caelum, all that is visible and invisible,

And we believe in one Lord, Eliyahu Hosios, Pure and Holy Spirit of God, Proceeding from God before all ages,

Not created, but himself the Creator, Not born, but himself the Father of All, Not begun, but himself the Beginning. Who is in God and of God and from God, In His whole Substance like unto God,

Announced through prophesy, Holy Word of God, through the virgin Sarahae in man incarnate, Who is light to our world, True servant of the one true God,

Who called us, the Pious, to follow His word, And was exiled to the desert by vengeful man, Who, persecuted even in exile, strengthened His resolve, and did His duty, even in the face of death. For forty days did He pray in His despair, He was exiled to hell also to bear our sins. Returned triumphant on the third day, Then disappeared into Hiding, According to scripture.

Who, with divine Grace, Sent to us the Light of God, Which illuminated His Word to the prophets of old, To remain with us to light the way, And give us strength to believe, In memory of those who came before,

We believe that he has life eternal, And that at the end of times, He shall return to judge living and dead, To be Saviour of Terra, And that His Kingdom shall continue, Unto the ages of ages.

Until He comes, we hold true to His teachings, To hear and live His Annunciation, In the Community of the Pious, One holy, apostolic and ecumenical Church, We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins, And hope that we shall live again, In life eternal.

Amen."
