My position is that only those who held beliefs which were supported and not condemned by the NT and who agree with the original believers are Christians. Please don't misrepresent me.

In my experience, the average Christian is not aware of these differences, can't articulate the orthodox position, and often say that they believe things which were declared heresies in these various councils.
And? What does that have to do with anything?
