Best Answer

The purpose of the Apostle's Creed was to set down what is the "orthodox" or standard belief concerning the nature of God, that is, God's Trinitarian nature (God is one, yet God the Father is divine, Jesus is divine, and the Holy Spirit is divine), and what each persona of the Godhead does. (God creates, Jesus dies and rises again, and the Holy Spirit empowers belief). Baptism is a sacrament of the church and doesn't bear on the doctrines being taught in the Apostle's Creed.
