Kosta: "Heresy, by definition is any teaching that denies the essential elements of the Christian faith, as contained in the Symbol of Faith (i.e. the Creed) finalized in 381 AD:"

FK: "I agree with everything in the Creed, with the possible exception of the intent of the Baptism clause:"

Kosta: "Then what do you believe?"

I believe that I've been called a heretic hundreds and hundreds of times, yet I agree with the Creed, so I'm confused. :)

Thanks for your further comments on dogma and doctrine.

FK, the Creed is a summary. What differs is the doctrine (teaching) that leads to the summary. The doctrine and dogma are not incompatible. It was your understanding of the doctrine leading to the dogmas of the Creed you claim you agree with that were deemed contrary to what the Church believed and taught everywhere and always.
