The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed says "of one essence with the Father." The Greek word they used was homoousion (same substance/essence).

Do you have a link for the Eastern Churches version of the creed? I have a Christian History and Biography magazine that highlights the Eastern Orthodox church. And I also have your book. I haven't read much of either yet. Other books keep bumping up to the top of my reading list. I'm finishing Verbal Bean's book on the gifts of the Spirit, then I was going to read a book by Bounds on prayer that PP recommended.
