I'd like to say that I'd expect a believer to have a more complete view of christology, but that wouldn't be true. They're predictably interested in their own cults christology t the exclusion of others.
The nicene creed was specifically formulated for a cultural syncretism of the triune god peculiar to catholicism in the 300's. It nevertheless remains the fact that the majority of christians do not believe in the trinity, or accept that the divine can be meaningfully split into pieces. To them, god is whole and unviolable and one, not three. Jesus -is- god, not a part of god. Cutting the baby in half, or in this case..thirds... is the inherent paganism in christianity talking...and that was the whole point of making the creed formal anyway..even if it can't help but drink from the same well. It's a meaningfully self refuting statement of faith, but that's the nature of faith.
