Christianity that are universally accepted in all forms of orthodox
Christianity, whether Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox,
and have been confessed in worship for almost all of church history.

denominational boundaries. Ecumenical Councils (There were seven of these
councils, which were meetings to make decisions where the whole Church,
east and west, was represented and expressed their agreement on certain
essential and core doctrines of the Christian faith. Some Protestants
hold to all seven councils; most protestants hold to the first six
councils; all Protestants generally would hold to the first four. The First Seven Ecumenical Councils: 1.
First Council of Nicaea, (325); repudiated Arianism and adopted the
Nicene Creed. The Westminster Standards (These are the summaries
of the Christian faith that the OPC has adopted). The Three Forms of Unity are the Belgic Confession,
