IMO an example of such "commonly accepted Christian Confession of Faith"
may be in 1Cor.15:1ff. Notice that what Paul himself PARELABON he
delivered (PAREDWKA) them - the gospel. Though PISTIS in Jude not necessary
refers to confessional formulae, his meaning of PISTIS, which was
delivered (PARADOQEISHi) to the saints, IMO seems to be the gospel as
well.
