It is not true that Quakers have no creed, if by that you mean that they
have no unifying beliefs. As far as I know, all Quakers believe three
things:

1. The divine exists
2. The divine is indwelling,
3. We can expect to have direct communication with the divine.

Those Quakers who have pastors and interpret the Bible literally may have
trouble reconciling these practices with #3. If they don't believe #3, then
they aren't Quakers, at least not according to George Fox et al. If they do
believe #3, you'll have to ask them how they reconcile their practices with
their belief.

There's nothing in these 3 beliefs about Jesus. A Quaker's opinion of Jesus
is his own business.
