No, you're wrong on this, not understanding what the creeds are from a Christian perspective. As for your articles of faith, you guys violate them so often around here, one has to wonder why you even bring them up.
That is the greatest difference between the two. In the past the creeds were used to divide the orothodox sheep from the heretical goats. And the goats were sacrificed to the God of orthodoxy by burning at the stake or hanging.

Once again, your ignorance of just what the creeds are, much less their content, only proves that you don't know what you're talking about. Otherwise, please share with us just exactly what is wrong with the follow creedal statement:
I believe in one God the Father Almighty; Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds [God of God], Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance [essence] with the Father; by whom all things were made; who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And [I believe] in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceedeth from the Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And [I believe] one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge on Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
