The creed of Patrick of Ireland: “There is no other God, nor ever was in times past, nor will be hereafter, than God the Father unbegotten, without beginning, from whom is all beginning, who holds sway over all things as we declare; And his Son Jesus Christ, whom we affirm most assuredly to have always been with the Father before the origin of the world, spiritually and ineffably begotten by the Father before all beginning, and by him all things visible and invisible were made; He was made man, and when death had been overcome, he was received into heaven beside the Father; ‘and he has given him all power over every name in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess to him that Jesus Christ is Lord and God’, In whom we believe and to whose imminent coming we look forward, ‘the judge of the living and of the dead’, ‘who will render to every man according to his deeds’; And ‘he has poured forth upon us abundantly the Holy Spirit’, ‘the gift’ and ‘pledge’ of immortality, who makes those who believe and obey ‘sons of God and co-heirs with Christ’: It is him that we confess and adore, one God in the Trinity of the holy name.” - Patrick, Confession, 4.

Only members of the new covenant of grace receive Christ and all His benefits.
