Default Are LDS creed based?

http://www.creeds.net/creed.htm

Creed according to this nonLDS definition are thoughtful declarations of faith interpreting scripture.

So are LDS "creed" based, sacramental or canonical?

Prediction: next several posts argue over the meaning of the word "creed."

Archea, you're too funny. You are out mullahing any mullah I've seen. Your newspeak defines creed as what?

Fine, go ahead and use a simple-minded definition if you wish.

I would argue LDS are not Creed based, but rather foundationally canonical as motivated by "spirit", not formal declarations of noncanonical belief.

For example, the Thirteen Articles of Faith are canonical.

Mormon Doctrine is not.
