===Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed===
{{main|Nicene Creed}}Traditionally, the [[Nicene Creed#Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed|Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed]] has been associated with the Council of Constantinople (381). It is roughly theologically equivalent to the [[Nicene Creed#Original Nicene Creed of 325|Nicene Creed]], but includes two additional articles: an article on the Holy Spirit—describing Him as "the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, and Who spoke through the prophets"—and an article about the church, baptism, and the resurrection of the dead. (For the full text of both creeds, see [[Nicene Creed#Comparison between creed of 325 and creed of 381|Comparison between Creed of 325 and Creed of 381]].)

However, scholars are not agreed on the connection between the Council of Constantinople and the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. Some modern scholars believe that this creed, or something close to it, was stated by the bishops at Constantinople, but not promulgated as an official act of the council. Scholars also dispute whether this creed was simply an expansion of the Creed of Nicaea, or whether it was an expansion of another traditional creed similar but not identical to the one from Nicaea.<ref>{{cite web |title = Encyclopædia Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/413955/Nicene-Creed |access-date=November 9, 2012}}</ref> In 451, the [[Council of Chalcedon]] referred to this creed as "the creed ... of the 150 saintly fathers assembled in Constantinople",<ref>{{cite book |title=Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils |url=https://archive.org/details/decreesofecumeni0000norm_l8e1 |url-access=registration |editor-first=Norman |editor-last=Tanner |editor2-first=Giuseppe |editor2-last=Alberigo |location= Washington, DC |publisher=Georgetown University Press |year=1990 |isbn=0-87840-490-2 |page=[https://archive.org/details/decreesofecumeni0000norm_l8e1/page/n245 84] }}</ref> indicating that this creed was associated with Constantinople (381) no later than 451.
