What does “no creed but Christ” mean?

The word credo means I believe. Leaders in the effort to restore New Testament Christianity used “no creed but Christ” to indicate their commitment to follow only the teaching of Christ. That includes following Christ’s attitude toward authority. He condemned traditionalism (Mt. 15:9), and considered the writings of Moses as “the word of God” (Mk. 7:10-13). He lived under the Law (Gal. 4:4), and taught people under it to obey Moses (Lk. 10:25-28). He never told anyone “do what you feel Moses would do.” When asked about divorce, He quoted a statement, used the example of Adam and Eve and drew the conclusion “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate” (Mt. 19:3-6; Gen. 2:24). Those who believe Christ, give Bible authority (a precept, example or necessary inference) for everything they do in religion.
