That is the logical argument against omnipotence. IIRC, Aquinas knew of these arguments, and so I gather omnipotence and omniscience are not actually part of christian theological creed. Disclaimer: IANAC (I am not a christian) :)
Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure most christian sects consider God to be omiscient and omnipotent, although I'm not a christian either. And the "rock so heavy he can't lift it" isn't too hard to solve if you restrict omnipotence to that which is logically possible (because it seems the very definition of omnipotence makes the idea of a rock that can't be lifted by an omnipotent being self-contradictory).
