Re: I didn't say that

Only Maiarin spirits of fire who followed Melkor were Balrogs.

For example:
Sauron followed Melkor, but he wasn't a spirit of fire. Thus he wasn't a Balrog.
Arien was a spirit of fire, but she didn't follow Melkor. Thus she wasn't a Balrog.
Gothmog was a spirit of fire and he followed Melkor. Thus he was a Balrog.

I hope this clears it up <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
