Nicene Christianity

The main points of dissent between the two centered on Christology, or the nature of Jesus' divinity.

Various other non-Nicene doctrines and beliefs have existed since the early medieval period, all of which have been considered heresies.

According to this definition, the Nicene Church ceased to exist following the Council of Chalcedon in 451, which was convened to address Christological disagreements on the human and divine natures of Christ, concluding that Christ had two distinct inseparable natures.

[citation needed] Today, examples of non-Nicene Christian denominations encompass both Protestant and non-Protestant non-trinitarian groups.

Examples of these groups include the majority of the Latter Day Saint movement (with the exception of the Nicene Mormon group known as the Community of Christ, formerly known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), the Unitarian Church of Transylvania, Oneness Pentecostals, among others.
