"Redefined" Christianity??? I don't rely on the council of Nicea or any other council or pope or cult leader to tell me what Christianty is. I READ God's Word, and I know what it says and what it doesn't say. If you read the epistles, mainly of Paul and John, we are told to call out heresies, which I guess is what you mean by "gate keeping". If we do not call out heresies, then the souls of those who ascribe to those heresies are in jeapordy. As I said in another response, Jesus Himself said, "Not everyone who says unto me, 'Lord, Lord' will be saved...."
And read and absorb the meanings of the following passages: Proverbs 30:5-6, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 12:32,
Galatians 1:6-9 (“As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.”)
Matthew 24:24 (“For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”)
Revelation 22:19 (“And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.”)
