I agree that it's true that it's not found in the creeds but I don't agree that it's not typical doctrinal treatments of Christian teaching. The creeds are not constitutional definitions of Christianity- they're an attempt to list the distinctive features of Christianity as opposed to any other religion at that time. Believing and agreeing with the creeds is not necessary to be Christian, however; I believe there are many more Christians who have some disagreements with them than there are who do not. The idea of creeds is repugnant to Quakers, does that make them not Christian because they won't say the creeds? Hardly so, I'd guess most people would think.

That's based on my own studying and experiences, and obviously yours may differ, but I'm not making blanket statements about an entire religion.
