That is mine as well.  I was raised Presbyterian (UPC, back
before the merger), and every Sunday we recited the Apostle's Creed:

        I believe in God the Father Almighty,
        Maker of Heaven and Earth,
        And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord
        Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
        Born of the Virgin Mary,
        Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
        Was crucified, dead, and buried.
        He descended into Hell.
        On the third day He arose again from the dead
        And sitteh on the right hand of God the Father Almighty
        From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
        I believe in the Holy Ghost,
        The holy catholic church,
        The communion of saints,
        The forgiveness of sins,
        The ressurrection of the body,  (NOTE!)
        And the life everlasting.
        Amen.

However, this line has sometimes been interpreted to be a specific
reference (to Christ's body) rather than a general one, so it's not
quite as clearcut is it might appear.
