If you believe in Christianity, you are a Christian. If Christianity requires believing in the Nicene Creed, then people who don't believe in it cannot be Christians.
Who decides what Christianity is? How many Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves a denomination of Christianity? Does that make it valid, or is it the kind of thing that sticks to the group that claims it first?
