If you believe the Holy Trinity, if you believe God the Son became man and that Jesus was no time any other person (though He had another nature too) than God the Son, you have no business accepting Paulicians as Christians.

Arguably, Victoria Osteen considers Paulicians as Christians. I don't.

One theory of Bulgaria Muslims, a k a Pomaks, is, they go back to Paulicians and Bogumils.
