Question #1 is for Brother Sonnie, he stated Christians remained faithful and rejected the Nicene Creed.
Everything in the Creed came from the Bible. The Creed and the Bible are in complete harmony. Creed simply means "I believe", it is simply a formal articulation of what Christians believe. Why would a Christian reject the Creed? or maybe better stated, are you really a Christian if you reject the Creed?

Question #2 is for Webshepard, you stated the Church gets it's truth from the Bible. A leatherbound 66 book NIV Bible didn't just majically drop out of the sky. Over a period of many, many years The Church,
the foundation and pillar of the truth, decided which books belong in Scripture and which books don't.
Over time an official Canon of Scripture was formed.

When the Apostles were first sent out to spread the Gospel, the New Testament did not exist. They had the Holy Spirit to guide them and the instructions Jesus gave them over a period of 40 days(first chapter of Acts). They planted many churches and converted many people without the aid of the New Testament. Would you agree the Church of Christ was founded and established without the New Testament Scriptures? Would you agree they spoke God's truth without the need for a (complete) Bible?

They handed down oral traditions(2 Thes. 2:15). Where in the Bible does it say to stop and disregard the oral traditions once the Bible was complete?

Just as the phrase "saved by faith ALONE" is not in the Bible, neither is the phrase "The Bible ALONE" in the Bible. 2 Tim. 3:16 doesn't say the Bible Alone, 2 Peter 1:3 doesn't say the Bible Alone either.
