There be dragons there, in that line of reasoning. There are some Christian denominations that believe the Nicene Creed to be a heresy and the beginning of Apostasy for the “true” Christian faith. And they believe that they can prove it, every bit as much as you believe you can prove your viewpoint, from the Bible.

I disagree completely. Paul may not have written out a creedal statement, but he spent his career both spreading the faith and fighting heresies. We should do no less.

And there are Christians who believe that St Paul did not work by Inspiration, but rather spent his career spreading heresies.

There is a huge difference between constantly showing how you are right and constantly telling a person they are wrong.

I dabbled in other religions for a while. The one thing that brought me back “Home to Rome” was the haughty elitist attitude of some of the “Christians” towards Catholics. Catholics were spoken of as evil or stupid. That is not how we should treat each other.

A dear friend of mine came into the Catholic church and asked why we did not evangilize as his old church did. We don’t get in anyone’s face. We live our faith and will tell anyone that asks.

Beating people on the head with your faith will get you really far. /s/
