If the Nicene Creed is key to determining a cult, then are original [http://www.biblehistory.com/Baptist.html Baptists] a cult? There are some branches of the Baptist church and Lutheran church that are ''sola scriptura'' and as the Nicene Creed does not appear in the Bible, these would make those branches cults by this definition.    --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 20:43, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

:I'm not a theologian or historian, but seems their rejection of the Nicene creed was not a rejection of any of the particular statements found in it. Rather, they wished to distance themselves from any religious texts other than that which is Divinely-inspired. I should hope that all contemporary Protestant churches are ''sola scriptura'', but this just means that we don't place any doctrine or interpretation of doctrine on level with the Bible itself. On the other hand, again, looking at the creed itself--anyone who finds something disagreeable in it most likely also finds something disagreeable in the Bible. The creed isn't partisan--''within Christianity''. [[User:SavedByGrace|SavedByGrace]] 21:28, 14 March 2007 (EDT)
