Read it. He said "the law", and he further specified by referring to the prophets. You don't think Ezra was a prophet?

You imply distinction where there is none. The words are perfectly clear:
"That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."

I think it's disingenuous to suggest that someone that believes in Jesus isn't Christian. All the "but Jesus said" arguments in the world are totally and completely invalid because following your interpretation of Jesus' teachings isn't a part of the definition of Christian. That's my point. As soon as you leave the most basic definition of Christian, you lose the meaning of the word.
