Answer:

No, they were not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although they were somewhat similar in a way, they were mainly different. The apostles' creed was adopted by the early church before the middle of the second century while the nicene creed was created by the council of Nicaea in 325. They also both differed in languages. For the nicene, it was produced in greek, while for the apostles, earlier manuscripts were written in latin. They both served a different purpose too. The apostles' creed has been in the use of baptism while the nicene is mostly associated with the death of Jesus Christ. It's recited during easter and lent.
