Anyone know why the Nicene creed is changed to "incarnate" but the Apostle's creed remains "born?"

nicene: by the Holy Spirit was incarnate (conceived, God became Man)
apostles: conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary (she did not supply the power to incarnate Him)

two different things entirely. one is the incarnation, which was due to the Holy Spirit, one was the birth, which was due to Mary

Thanks, that makes sense. I had to look back at the "old" Nicene creed to see how it had been worded before for sure. It's all garbled up in my head now!
