Errors of nominal Christian bureaucracy

From a forum post:
{{_ bob>True. But, it seems to me the pagan gentiles around 320 ad took over the Christian religion and added things. what do you think?}}
___ Thanks for the prompt reply. It is pleasant also to find some support for my ideas.
___ It was a nominal Christian bureaucracy that added things.
___ The awkward notions of eternal generation and eternal procession of the Nicean creed are to be renounced by the instructed.
___ But addition is not as serious offense as taking away. 
___ Rev 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
___ Baptised humanity has suffered much more from nicolatian additions than from subtractions until rather recently.
___ The mainstream protestant denominations in "advanced" nations are rapidly ceasing to be even properly nominal Christian.
