Page "Ecumenical council" Paragraph 73

Ecumenical councils are not recognised by nontrinitarian churches such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( and other denominations within Mormonism ), Jehovah's Witnesses, and Unitarians.

In the case of the former two religions, their leadership each claims direct, special, ongoing revelation from God to establish accepted beliefs.

They view the ecumenical councils as misguided human attempts to establish doctrine, and as attempts to divine dogmas by debate rather than by revelation.
