Time2beCounted and his co-believers are busily trying to define Christianity according to a US fundamentalist POV. Please make sure you are involved in any discussion started by him and his.

How is his definition not consistent with scripture?

Mark 14:24
1 Corinthians 10:16
Ephesians 1:7
Colossians 1:14
Colossians 1:20
Hebrews 13:12

He ignores Holy Tradition, he ignores Reason to opt for a US fundamentalist version of Sola Scriptura. As far as he is concerned the use of the Nicene Creed in the FAQ defining Christians is not enough.

The current FAQ states this:
Non-Nicene Christian

These are members who identify themselves as Christian, but for any number of reason cannot accept all or part of the Nicene Creed, outside of the previously mentioned options. Examples of Non-Nicene churches are Unitarian, Latter-Day Saints (Mormon), Jehovah's Witnesses etc.

By defining these groups as Christian, the FAQ already goes against Holy Tradition.

I would agree though that if the FAQ were to simply define Christians as those who believe in what is contained in the Nicene Creed then that would be sufficient.

And so you would remove these groups from this board?

No. But I would make the definition correct.

The definition in the FAQ is fine.
