So how expansive should the denominations list be? Should it: 1)consist only of Christian groups, 2) Christian groups + related controversial groups such as the Christadelphians and LDS, or 3) Use "denominations" as a broad term for religions? I'd favor number 2 - listing Christian denoms and related controversial groups, since there are entries for those here on WikiChristian. Lamorak
- So far we have had in the Denominations section, only the mainstream Christian groups. These are groups who
- * Consider themselves only one of many in the group of Christian denominations
- * Would agree with the Bible and the early church fathers (the Nicene creed) as containing core Christian doctrine
- Hence the more controversial groups, such as Christadelphians, have been listed under Off-shoots of Christianity (and Off-shoots of Christianity Index). These are listed here because of one of the following:
- * They tend to consider themselves the true form of Christianity and consider the other denominations false and non-Christian
- * They either deny part that the Bible holds core Christian doctrine or deny teachings of the early church fathers (the Nicene creed)
