Dr. Swainson Creeds of the
Church, p. 17. represents the
matter somewhat differently: “When we come to the
profession of his own personal faith which was made at Jerusalem by the
Candidate for Baptism, we find that this was far briefer not only than
the collection of ‘necessary things’ (Cat. iv.), but also
than the Creed of the Church of Jerusalem.” Then after
quoting the short form in Cyril, Myst. i. § 9, “I
believe in the Father, and in the Son, and in the Holy Ghost, and in
one Baptism of repentance,” Dr. Swainson adds: “The
words are clear and definite. In these words each answered the
question of which we read elsewhere, ‘Did he believe in the name
of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit?’ In this
his reply the Candidate ‘confessed’ what Cyril called
‘the saving confession.’”
