Then that really doesn't answer my question, does it?

According to Drich, your god is okay with people interpreting scripture/christianity differently and finding whatever meaning they want, but only to a limit. I'm asking what that limit is. At what point would you say to someone who is "creatively interpreting the bible" that he is not a Christian.

Yes it does I think. Mainstream churches decide between themselves if any denomination strays from the faith. What I've given you are clear cut examples, that are yet confusing to some outsiders. There are more intricate cases that are harder to explain, but I hope you can see the principle.

So there are still thousands of doctrinally diverse branches of the mainstream Christian Church that are completely compatible yet unique in their interpretation of the faith.
