The Christian Gamers Alliance is an interdenominational community, which means that our staff agree on the following doctrine as explained in early church creeds:

"We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life*, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic** and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen."

Source: Nicene creed, 381 A.D.

*Omitted "who proceeds from the Father" and "who proceeds from the Father and the Son" in favor of a separate clause regarding the doctrine of the Trinity. (See below.)

"Now this is the catholic** faith:

That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence.

For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another, and that of the Holy Spirit still another. But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal."

Source: Athanasian creed, c.500 A.D.

**The word "catholic" in these contexts means "universal."
