This has Jesus beholden or relying on the holy spirit to have Jesus born.
Again, Jesus is shown as inferior to the other two. Even relegated to the seat beside Yahweh.
Strange that one god has tree asses.
Equal is not the same, I agree, but Jesus sure is a useless piece of garbage without help from the other gods.

If we go by what the Gospels say generally, then yes it does appear that Jesus is made inferior to both God the Father and the Holy Spirit. But then again, Trinity wasn't a thing when the synoptic Gospels were written, and I don't think it was significantly a thing yet when John was written.
Seems the same with the Apostle's Creed as well, but as the link you posted states:
Quote:Because of the early origin of its original form, it does not address some Christological issues defined in the Nicene and other Christian creeds. It thus says nothing explicitly about the divinity of either Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Nor does it address many other theological questions which became objects of dispute centuries later.
Nicene Creed, on the other hand:
