Do presbyterians follow one creed?
No, Presbyterians recognize a number of historical and contemporary creeds and confessions. From the Scots Confession (1560) and the Westminster Confession and Catechisms (1643 - 1649) to the Brief Statement of Faith (1991,) The Book of Confessions includes eleven "confessional statements" that describe and define the continuing development of Presbyterian belief through the changes and challenges of history. Presbyterians do not believe that the Christian faith should be unchanging through the ages but rather that the faith is "reformed and continually being reformed" through the action and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

What are the religious beliefs of presbyterianism?
The Presbyterian Church is a Protestant mainline denomination in the Reformed Tradition. Although there is great variation among individual congregations ranging from very conservative evangelical to very liberal progressive, all Presbyterians recognize the authority of Scripture (Hebrew and Christian) and the guidance of several Creeds and Confessions collected in the Book of Confessions. These include historical Creeds such as the Apostles' Creed and the Westminster Confession as well as modern Creeds such as the Barmen Declaration and the Confession of 1967. Although there are a number of different Presbyterian denominations, the largest, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has consistently chosen not to delineate any list of specific beliefs (essential tenets) required of all members. Instead, Presbyterians emphasize the continuing guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit for the Church as a whole and for each individual member, affirming that "God alone is Lord of the conscience."
